Final Electoral College Prediction
Happy Halloween! I think most people above the age of 12 celebrated the holiday last night, so the most frightening thing on the horizon is the possibility of a John Kerry victory Tuesday. But, I don't think that'll happen. Below is my final Electoral College predictions. Throughout the summer and fall, I haven't made too many changes to this. For this final one, I predict Minnesota swings to the Dems, while Ohio, Wisconsin and Iowa go for Bush. The big change is Hawaii. I think that Cheney's visit this weekend will swing the state to Bush.
Hopefully the margin of victory will be big enough that we don't have to go through months of lawsuits and complaints and the Bush Administration can get back to the business of governing and Kerry can get back to skiing in Vail or Switzerland or wherever.
I'd love to hear other predictions. How about putting your final electoral college counts in the comments?
Update: I made a mistake on the map. I meant Arizona to be in the red. Therefore, my final electoral count is actually President Bush: 300 and Senator Kerry: 238.

Here are mine that I posted on my site earlier in the week: George W. Bush with: 49.5% to Kerry’s 48.2% of popular vote 296 to 242 Electorial votes A couple of small law suits challenging some returns, but not anything to sway the election Terry McAuliffe gets his walking papers Most Democrats including Kerry and Edwards concede somewhat gracefully uber-left trot out conspiracy theories, much groaning and gnashing of teeth Hollywood and musical left idiots say stupid shit, face backlash, cry about 1st amendment rights America rolls on Terrorists wet pants US, Brit, Aussie, and other coalition soldiers keep hunting Gore gains another 40 pounds, head explodes. Chirac says merde Iran, North Korea, Syria, Sudan say please don’t hit me anymore Therahhhsa says, ‘I vant a divorce loser.’ |

Back in Aug, I think I said 310. I'll stick with that. Perhaps also peruse the other comments I posted under the "October Surprise" item. |
