Election Prediction - Going out on a limb...



OK, folks. It's time to make a prediction for the 2008 Presidential Election. The conventions are over. The bounces are still bouncing. And the pundits have begun all their 'punditry'.

John McCain and Sarah Palin will win this election with a nationwide vote of 52% to 47% over Obama with 1% going to Nader, Barr, et al.

The electoral map will look something like this:



I strongly believe that McCain/Palin already have 265 electoral votes on their side (the dark red). All they need to do is win any one of the remaining light red states (unless it's New Hampshire, then they would need one more to avoid a tie).

Now you can begin to see why I am so optimistic about the outcome of this election.

Of course, my opinion and $4.00 (at Starbuck's) will get you a cup of coffee.

(Does anyone really like Starbucks coffee? I thought people just drank it to look cool - sort of like smoking in high school...)
