I predict that by this time next week, we will be celebrating the first election of a black US President!! How exciting will that be??!! History in the making. I love it. Can't wait for this to happen.
I think Obama will win by a large margin. Maybe not a "landslide," but he'll win handily. I'd say he'll get in the neighborhood of 290-300 electoral votes....

I think the election is going to be a lot closer than the polls are now showing. I would be really surprised if it is a huge landslide like many Obama supporters on here are prediting. Will we know by Wednesday morning? I think so.

It will either be over early or real late. Once Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina and Virginia come in you will have a clear idea if McCain is in the game. If he still is they look to Ohio. Depending how they go it is either over or McCain is still in the game or going strong for a upset.
The newest Pennsylvania polls today are showing well for Obama which means he could well retain all of the blue states.
RealClearPolitics - Election 2008 - Pennsylvania: McCain vs. Obama
RCP Average 10/20 - 10/27 -- -- 52.1 41.6 Obama +10.5

If he keeps Pennsylvania he has a host or red states to pick up.

I seem to remember when you socialists seemed to think that romney being a mormon was a problem. whether i am racist or not is none of your concern, and you calling me racist just goes to show how much of a socialist you truly are.

What Blue states do you think McCain is going to win? Do you think McCain will retain all of the red states if he doesn't win Pennsylvania? The national numbers may well be closer then the electoral vote.

If you cleaned the crap out of your ears you might've heard the Navy guy saying the other guy IS NOT a Muslim!

Or are you telling us the Navy guy's a liar?
