At Long Last, Here's the Call

My crystal ball says...Obama 52%, McCain 46% in the national popular vote.

In the Electoral College: Obama gets 27 states plus the District of Columbia for 349 electoral votes.
(CA-55, NY-31, FL-27, PA-21, IL-21, OH-20,MI-17, NJ-15, VA-13, MA-12, IN-11, WA-11, MD-10, WI-10, MN-10, CO-9, CT-7, IA-7, OR-7, NM-5, NV-5, HI-4, ME-4, NH-4, RI-4, VT-3,
DE-3, DC-3)

McCain gets 23 states for 189 electoral votes.
(TX-34, GA-15, NC-15, TN-11, MO-11, AZ-10, AL-9, LA-9, KY-8, SC-8, OK-7, AR-6, MS-6, KS-6, NE-5, UT-5, WV-5, ID-4, AK-3, MT-3, ND-3, SD-3, WY-3)

This is what is known in presidential politics as a mandate.

And, besides, the National League won the World Series, and the Washington Redskins' last home game before the election was a loss. Look it up; it matters, I kid you not!

Have fun watching, and, for goodness sake, whether you're casting your ballot correctly or not, go vote!
