Election predictions

Everyone else is making predictions, so I will jump in. Obama wins with around 340 electoral votes. NV PA,FL,CO,VA,NC and all of the midwest all help him to achieve this, with McCain picking up MO,IN,OH but not coming remotely close to what he needs. The Senate race will fall 1 or 2 shy of the 60 super-majority that the dems are hoping for. I predict that we will see Sarah Palin try to keep her moment in the spotlite with frequent guest spots on FOX, leading to a series of hockey mom philosophy. I however will be covering the winning local republicans in my county, while thinking about my pint of Stephen Colbert's "Americone Dream" by Ben and Jerry's which I will savour later this evening to celebrate this history making day.

I predict that Chuck Todd will take the helm of Meet the Press, as he has filled the traditional role that Tim Russert played during the general election for NBC. It's a shame that both Tim Russert and even Obama's own grandmother could not witness this accomplishment. Russert's own son, Luke has been a contributor since his father's passing and has done a fine journalistic job among the vote of the college crowd.

I just hope it's definitive, without the neccesity of court challenges and manipulation by the courts. May progress, peace and prosperity return to our great nation sooner rather than later.
