As I stated in this thread, I'm clueless. I'd love to believe Nate Silver is right, but I suspect it's going to be very close. For hat the wingers have spent, I suspect they'll be demanding recounts and demanding that no winner be announced until every vote is counted. Since we've pressed hard for the counting of every vote, we can hardly complain, can we?

BTW, the Redskins loss yesterday is supposed to indicate wth 88% accuracy that Rmoney will win (8 times out of 9)-- how scientific is that?

I think it could go either way easily, so can't choose any option with any confidence. I am in great suspence this election, that's for sure.

There's no doubt in my mind they will use every dirty sneaky trick at their disposal.
But if it was a fair election I would say Obama for sure by a wide margin ... 10% or so.
