2. The 'Pukes had all three branches of government and they destroyed the fucking country
If the people cannot see that reality and vote accordingly, then nothing matters anyway.

5. I think people all over the world will be as interested in the outcome as
we are.

Which makes sense. After 8 years of BushCheney, who could blame them for caring quite a bit who wins this elections?

So I think it will be a global event and not just a U.S. election.

Also I think a few to several traditionally red states will go blue, very possibly including Virginia and Indiana early in the evening in the returns. If Obama/Biden defeats McSame/Palin in Indiana, then Barack Obama has won the election before 9:00 p.m. Central Time.

Significant gains in both chambers of the 111th Congress. And the last of Joe Lieberman as a thorn in our flesh.

Mitt Romney will nyah-anh-ah his way through the next 4 years planning his run for the GOP nomination in 2012.

Obama's Cabinet will be chosen based on nominees' inclinations toward service to others.

6. Don't know. I hope we have a huge turnout; I fear ...
... the GOP's lying and what they'll liable to do in such a state of desperation.

Oh, and there are a lot of stupid people in America.

7. I am confident that my fellow Americans
will throw the bums out in a big way. Straight Dem majority wins across the board in Congress and a landslide for President Obama. It will be a historical election in more ways than one, and yes, the stock market will go up the next day.

8. To take the senate
the would not only have to win Every one of the close races (Or, Mn, Nc, Ak, Co, Mi) but flip 4 other races. Most of the rest range between a Dem advantage of 20-30%. As far as I can tell, the only dems down to a 10 point lead Are lautenberg and Udall(nm). So even with a 10 point shift across the board, every state, they are still 2 short of a senate majority.

Thats just not happening without something not just game changing, but on the level of a deadly virus that is selective to a political ideology.

9. you left out the "but options" . . .
for example . . .

"Obama/Biden win - but election fraud gives the Electoral College to McCain/Palin" . . .

not guaranteeing it will happen, mind you . . . just suggesting that the chances of it happening are far better than even money . . .

"It's not who votes that counts; it's who counts the votes" . . .
