I agree. Cheney shouldn't have bit on the bait. No good can come of making such a public prediction. Some swing voters can see it as a sign of arrogance, however wrong that may be.
PLEASE STOP ALL THESE ROSY PREDICTIONS. I WANT 270 ELECTORAL VOTES. THAT'S IT, ENOUGH TO WIN. It will be also nice to win the popular vote so the dims and dim media will shut the h*ll up.
