Play Prognosticator…And Win A Prize?

Four days to go…and day four of our little game here: If you are tired of hearing the poll numbers (even when they’re our own, sound-as-can-be metrics), and if you care to indulge in a frivolous pursuit, tell us who you believe will win. Give us the percentage breakdown — 52-48, i.e. — and the electoral vote count. We’ll post winners in this space on November 5. And — the boss says we can send some ABC souvenirs to the top three…

No Prize for you two.
There are other candidates running so Obama and McCain will not get 100% of the popular vote.

273-265 McCain
The electoral votes in Florida, Ohio, and Mississippi will appear decided, but will take extra time to be allocated, and might require re-allocation, due to rampant to voter fraud by Democrats (e.g., Ohio, Mississippi, Florida) and voter suppression by Republicans (e.g. Florida).
In some counties in Mississippi, 123% of eligible voters are registered. Dead Florida residents who “voted” in 2006 will continue to cast their vote for Democrats in 2008. Machine failures in many jurisdictions will continue to taint the process, as anti-Americans working for both major parties work against the constitution to steal and negate the votes of citizens.

The numbers are irrelevant. This is a shadow play. Obama has been selected as a “fresh face” to improve US PR. Will he stop the spying on citizens? Will he end the “defense” cash-cow that is the fraudulent “war on terror”? Will he pursue justice for crimes committed by this administration? We will see.
