Am I the Only Wild-eyed Optimist Left?

Written by Rob Deters

Well, anyone want to have a little fun? How about a prediction contest? Anyone willing to make one? Popular vote: Kerry 54% Bush 46% Damn near a tie in Ohio and Florida. WI goes to Kerry 51% or closer. MN and MI stay Democrat, so does Pennsylvania. Ohio ends up in Republican hands after bitter fight, FL in the Democrat camp (they will not lose that state this time around). This is fun! Not only will you surely be wrong, but you get to guess! Please, post comments, I would love to hear other people's views.

My revised prediction: Bush takes the popular vote with 92%. 3 million O'Reilly Factor viewers can't be wrong:

Funnily, except for goddamn Florida and the overall vote, I was right.

Very frustrating. But I did get to meet Rev. Al Sharpton yesterday.

Mac - Interesting discussion to be had on the older Jewish vote going to Bush more than it has in the past. You think the free pass the Bush administration gives Sharon plays into his hands?

Rob - "except for Florida and the overall vote, you were right." Nevermind that you were off by millions of votes in the popular vote and Florida wasn't even a close election. Resounding victory for Republicans considering the seats picked up in the House and Senate, along with that 50% threshhold being met on the popular vote, something that hasn't been accomplished since the 80's...
