Hello. This is our first comment, so we thought we’d make it a real good one.

This is our prediction, and we hope we are wrong.

We think that Obama will be the first US President to be assassinated (or buttbuttinated if you want the censored version) since Kennedy.

The (we hate the term…) NeoConservatives and wonderful* websites like Conservapedia have been breeding to much hate and ignorance.

Again, we hope we are wrong, but still, that’s our prediction.

Cheers,

*Sarcasm. Ok?

Possum, I had a brief look at 538s predictions versus reality… Nate’s method seemed to hit the nail on the head in a lot of states and he called them almost all right (with Indiana the exception). Yesterday was a win for the stats nerds!

TP – the idiot who sctawled that piece of nonsense should be arrested for falsely claiming his wage from whatever media outlet employs him/her. Sheesh, simple maths – if he was below 50% but had a 5% lead over McCain.. Who got the remainder?

Poss – I was pondering how it would have affected the outcomes of US elections if the EVs were allocated pro rata to the popular vote in each state instead of all going to the majority vote winner, would any elections have had different outcomes as far as who got the keys to that special house in DC?

You don’t mean for writing stuff like this?

But the basic point, one week before Election Day, is that even if Obama clings to a four- or five-point lead over McCain in the polling, the election is not over. The question is not so much how large his lead is over the Republican, but whether or not he is topping 50 percent. As long as the polling leaves him below that mark, he is vulnerable and could well lose.

Did anyone see Christopher Hitchens on the ABC…hilarious stuff, he was mauling Bob Carr.

By the way where was Carr’s Bradley effect?
