Isn't this a thread we should have on Tuesday?
You would rather predict the outcome on the day of the election? That's like having a Redskins prediction thread on gameday.

My friend has already payed out a $20 bet that Obama would win Washington State by 8 points.
It's going to be either close or a blow out. Either way, I would bet Obama comes out on top.
Obama
EV: 300
PV: 51%

Obama wins by a land slide.
Once the guy gets in office he should be scard I think a lot of people are planning to kill this guy. IT is scary!
I am voting for him and a change! This country needs both really bad.
Obama leads up about 6-7 points right now and I think that's where the popular vote will end up, though I wouldn't be surprised if he takes it by closer to 10 or more. If a record turnout of voters does indeed happen, that can only favor Obama. People aren't going to come out in record numbers to vote for the same old.

Those "air quotes" on the "health of the mother" are going "hurt (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/15074.html)."

Obama @ 286
McCain @ 255
I further predict that the news on all fronts, (Iraq, Afghanistan, the economy, various domestic "crises") will suddenly take a turn for the better after Tuesday. The news broadcasts will re-discover everything that is good about America quite literally overnight.
I also predict that many male Obama supporters will be chagrinned on election night when they are unable to parlay hours of envelope stuffing into action with the cute female Obama supporters.
Things will pretty much stay the same for the vast majority of us.
This forum will return to late night discussions about television shows, hot supermodels, monkeys that throw their own crap, and the occasional bleg for advice on car-buying, computer troubleshooting, and interior decorating.
Oh, and Keith Olbermann's ratings will start dying a long, slow death as the the political fad dies and young people flip to "Gossip Girl" and "So You Want to be an Albino Stripper".
