Go Vote!
My prediction for the Electoral College
This is my prediction for the outcome of tomorrow’s election. My basic assumption is that Obama will sweep every state where the polls show him within 4%. A week and a half ago, I thought he’d take West Virginia, but that seems to have returned to and solidified for McCain. On the other hand, a week and a half ago, I wouldn’t have guessed that Georgia, North Dakota, Montana and Arizona would be in play.
McCain supporters certainly have the ability to prove the folly of my assumption by getting out there and voting. Similarly, Obama supporters also have that ability by staying home.
So, do you civic duty. Go Vote. And, perhaps more importantly, Stay The Frack In Line even it takes all day and the official closing time passes you by. If you get into line before the polls close, you WILL be allowed to vote.
What’s your prediction?
Hi, Ryan,
Wonderful site, as usual; I try to download pix every day.
As for the election, like most burned liberals, I was afraid something bizarre like 2000 would happen, and of course we shouldn’t have worried. Your map was quite prescient, if a little overoptimistic, but who cares? Now I hope my president [I can say that after eight years] and the Dems can get just a small portion of his agenda done before Americans begin swinging right again. Oh, for national health care without insurance companies, expanded Medicare…..
Actually, what I would most like to see is real, consistent vote reform and regulation, so that the voting procedures are fair and uniform across the United States. Where you can vote from anywhere over, say, a one-week period, with paper verification that each vote was correctly received and counted. I believe we can accomplish this now, but can we trust government to do it? Since government is made up of fallible people, I have my doubts. But wouldn’t it be nice…
Anyway, hope all is well with you, and thanks very much for doing what you do, and keep doing it.
Lee Maxwell
