I predict Obama winning by 9 points

[veganred]

I have a gut feeling that Obama will win by 9 points and I've said that for a week now.

I am hopeful that Obama will win. With that said, if for some reason McCain wins, my BF and I will move to East Mexico and I'm not joking.

I'm 39 (just had a bday yesterday) and voted in every election since growing up in Texas and living in DC since 2000. I've never been so nervous in an election as I do now.

Sorry, just rambling...

1. No need to be nervous.

Obama has 200+ electoral votes, so CA will put him over 270.

My seven year old pointed this out, called the TV people dumb for not calling the race, and put cartoons on. :P

2. A little before 10:00 ET a guy was on CNN with the 'magic map'

He hypothetically gave a huge number of the then-still-outstanding states to McCain. Even with hugely unlikely assumptions (eg. IA would go for McCain) he still couldn't bring McCain's electoral total to 270. In essence, he was stating outright that it was over, without actually using those words.

Kudos to LeftyKid!

3. He goes to my Honors Political Comm class with me sometimes.

I had no idea he paid so much attention. :shrug:
