in '08 Election

Since every blog in the United States must have a prediction for tomorrow, it would be a shame if we were left out. With a few picks (Indiana and Florida) that I am quite unsure about, this is my guess for tomorrow’s results:

Obama 53, McCain 46.

U.S. Senate Races

do you really think Kelleher is going to win montana? do you have data to support? i didn’t think he had a chance.

No, I was kidding about Kelleher. :)

I might have been irrationally exuberant about the Alaska Senate race margin, too, it appears. The man was convicted, though. Come on Alaska.
