Here's my prediction for the post-election narrative.

McCain will win a suprising number of states. The pudits will be worked up looking for a reason this wasn't predicted by the polls.

Answer will be... White America is racist and just couldn't find it in their hearts to pull the Obama lever at the last minute. Middle America is unsophisticated boobs, country has no chance of survival if we continue to stick to 'old-fashioned' ideas.

Remember I also predicted (and was scoffed at) in a post last April...

"The speculative bubble in oil will burst spectacularly within the next 2 months. Oil by fall will be at $75/bbl and gas back down around $2.65."

Let's hope lighting strikes twice.

Hail the Punditocracy!

Bow down to those who predict the future.. and get a nice paycheck doing it. ;-)

Also add:

All of the October Surprices are a result of racist white republicans.......it will have NOTHING to do with all validity of the garbage on Hussein.

You were a few months off, but still, good prediction.

McCain will win a surprising number of states.

What do you mean with respect to election outcome? McCain wins? McCain wins big? McCain loses close one?

If McCain wins, there is no question but that it will be blamed on racism. That is a given. Not only that, but it will be the racists who "stole" the election outright.

The main focus will be on the "despondency, despair and disappointment" of all African-Americans and the loss of hope that America will ever be anything but a racist country. There are going to be a bunch of pissed off people if Zero loses this election after being told all this time it was a lock.

I think McCain wins handily and wouldn't be at all suprised if there are riots in the cities - egged on by MSM out looking for them.

I don't care if the media talk themselves hoarse calling us all racists as long as Obama loses. No Marxists with radical muslim/black liberation/american terrorist ties belongs anywhere near the White House. Or, the US Senate for that matter. At least he doesn't show up there much so he can do little damage.

I really don't care what color he is or isn't for that matter. I care that he has strong ties to every one of the above mentioned groups.

Well. I'll put up my calculations:
McCain 279
O'bama 259

This is based on all of New England and the middle Atlantic going to O'bama along with MI,MN,WI,IA and IL and with the 3 left coasters.

All the others including "swing" states OH,VA,CO,NM and FL to McCain.

And, from a self conducted pub poll (16 likely voters-9 males,7 females) last night, If O'bama wins there will be riots in the typical riot areas,75% and if he loses there will be riots in the typical riot areas,88%.

Don't give me the Razzie (Rassmussen) award yet.

Here’s mine:

McCain/Palin 295 ECV.

I have them winning bitter, racist, clinging Pennsylvania,
losing NM, WI, IA, MI, MN, the left coast and New England.

I have them winning bitter, racist, clinging Pennsylvania, losing NM, WI, IA, MI, MN, the left coast and New England.

Yea, PA is the kicker. I just think the Philly/Pittsburg real or manufactured vote will overwhelm the differences in Berks,Luzerne and like counties.

Hope you're right
