McCain will win comfortably. i said it as soon as he won New Hampshire, and nothing has changed. in fact, the situation vastly improved for him this week.

Then you are risking a mediocre record.
I will assume you did not predict Ike, due to age concerns.
1960- Kennedy (good job it was close)
1964 -Johnson (landslide, very easy)
1968 -Nixon (easy with wallace pulling from Humphrey)
1972 - Nixon (If you missed this, your prognostication was severly retarded)
1976 - Carter (great job, very close)
1980 - Reagan (If you missed this, your prognostication was severly retarded)
1984 - Reagan (ditto)
1988 - Bush (ditto)
1992 - Clinton (you had to get this one also)
1996 - Clinton (ditto)
2000- Bush (good job)
2004 - Bush (not as good as 2000 but good)

So you are 3-1. Now you risk going 3-2 in elections that actually required
some thought. Dont do it man.



This could easily swing either way.

Look back at the electoral map.

Those states that are contested
could swing either way in the next two
months, very easily.

You probably did not predict Kennedy? way back...

That would make you 2-1.
Take it back.

I don't mean to be a smart ass. Well, yes I do, but I'm sure you are used to that by now. Maybe I'm making a lot of assumptions, so if I am please correct me. I assume that we are around the same age, because I am assuming the 78 in your name is the year you were born. So, I don't think you were predicing the 1980 election and I'm going to assume you weren't predicting the 1984 election either. If you were at age 6, maybe you should be running for office instead of some of the dopes that are now.

That leaves 1988, which I'm still not convinced anyone is really into politics at 10, but if you got it right nice job. I assumed the one you got wrong was 1992, because it was a Dem, and 1996 Clinton was a lock, so you probably predicted that. The two Bush elections you got right. Congrats, but at this point I wonder if you would have actually rather have been wrong about those, considering the nose dive this country has taken the last 8 years. It's like betting a horse that wins by a nose with a perfect trip. And the runnerup has a terrible trip. You're happy you won, but afterwards realize the runnerup was probably best. But, to me, all it really proves is you predict that a Republican is going to win, because you are a Republican.

Like I said, my whole theory is completely assumption based, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

It will be hard for you to top this.
