I thought it would be fun to let people post their predictions about the outcome of the election on blogger. Whoever comes closest to reality wins. It's like an office pool for the super bowl but with the fate of the world at stake. Deadline for submitting picks is midnight, Monday.
I like all the gambling rhetoric out there regarding McCain on the part of those supporting him. Everytime I hear one of those gambling comparisons, I hear Kenny "Wood makes it good" Rogers singing "The Gambler" in my head, so that's at least one positive McCain association I have coming out of this election (that and the sweet sweet taste of wood smoked chicken . . . Mmm, mmm, mmm). At least you're realistic that this doesn't have a good shot of happening. Basically, McCain needs every single state that is close in the polls to swing his way, plus some that aren't. This in a year when the wave is more likely to go in the other direction a la 2006. I'll hope you're wrong and I'm right and try to keep the nightmares at bay for another night that you might be onto something here.
Smart money is still on Obama, no doubt about that. It really has to be the political equivalent of a wild card team winning three games on the road, in inhospitable conditions, against pro-bowl and hall of fame QBs and then going up against a team that has been perfect all year and then somehow squeaking out a win. Not saying it's gonna happen, but...
My prediction is that a rich guy will become President.
