Bow Tie Boy predicts Kerry win.
Outlook 2004 Crystal Ball
Hot Button Choices
Sunday, October 31, 2004; Page B01

Halloween seems an appropriate time to ask 13 political wizards to dust off their Crystal Balls, apply a bit of Windex to their orbs and offer prognostications for the denouement of campaign 2004. Will George W. Bush win a return trip to Pennsylvania Avenue, or will he earn a one-way ticket to his Crawford ranch and be haunted forevermore by the specter of John Kerry sitting in the Oval Office? Will the Democrats give the Republicans a fright in the battle for the Senate and House, or will voters say boo to the Democrats' efforts to regain control?

We asked our seers for six predictions: the popular vote percentages, the electoral college outcome, the composition of the Senate and the House, the gubernatorial breakdown and the margin of victory for Bush or Kerry in Florida. Just in case that didn't produce a winner, we tossed in two tie-breakers: projecting the results in the North Carolina and Colorado Senate races.

The contestants' electoral vote forecast dictated whether we used a red (Republican) or blue (Democratic) button to display their predictions.

Probably trying to boost his audience for when CNN dies.

4. Look at that Tony Snow moron
Bush 52%, Kerry 47%. Isn't that what Dick Cheney said? I'm glad to see that he's right in line with Bill Kristol and Mann Coulter.
