1. I think McCain will win SC, MS, and LA
but I think the African American turnout in these states may make them a lot closer, and shock the shit out of the GOP.

5. Mccain
I agree he wins all of these.But In MS,and LA It will be closer than many would think.Wicker may win the senate seat but It will be close there because of the african american vote.Landeau Is going to
win reelection.The only hope they have Is forcing her to a runoff,and I think In LA that Isn't likely this year.

The shock In the states(accept from here In Missouri we go for Obama when people keep saying Mccain
will win) Could be Obama upsets ND,and Georgia,and Mccain barely wins Arizona.

4. I am more than optimistic
I predict Obama gets 381 electoral votes. We get 60 Democrats in the Senate. The Democrats will end up with 95 more seats in the House than the Republicans. And the trend will continue at the state and local levels throughout the majority of the country.
