ScienceDaily (Sep. 17, 2008) — A new approach to determining which candidate will win the most electoral votes in the U.S. Presidential race factors in lessons learned from the 2004 election and uses sophisticated math modeling. The research will be presented at the annual meeting of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS®).
As of September 16, the margin in electoral votes could be as high as 282.8 votes for Senator John McCain against 255.2 for Senator Barack Obama, depending on the forecasting scenario.
Operations researcher Sheldon H. Jacobson, a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, along with a group of students and collaborators at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, created http://election08.cs.uiuc.edu/, a math model that dynamically forecasts the outcome of the election.

No?
See, math isn't evil :-)
first one should be E=mc2
maybe I should turn a light on so I can see the keyboard ;-)
Everyone reading FR, everyone in our collective families, must immediately begin doing the groundwork to push votes to McCain/Palin.
We can't just sit around waiting for "someone else" to do the details.
Today (after church), everyone should buy as many McCain/Palin bumper stickers as they can afford and put them on all their cars, vehicles, boats....
Put them on the entrance and exit doors at the local food stores... on phone booths (do they exist?), at the mall, post offices, gas stations, EVERYWHERE!!!
I'm serious. If WE THE PEOPLE don't do it, no one will. Campaign volunteers can only do so much.
Also, I have already purchased two beautiful Sarah Palin tee-shirts, with a color photo of her on the front, and I wear them everywhere.
Strike up at least five conversations a day telling people why Palin and McCain are the solid leaders that America needs right now!!
And don't forget to tell everyone how Obama will hand over this great country to the forces of Global Jihad, both financially and culturally, if he gets into the White House.
TODAY is the day to begin, my friends.
“Socialist agenda”? What Socialist agenda??? 98% of voting Americans don’t have clue about the true agenda of this political chameleon.
