I can't tell you how often I got blasted for saying what I believed... My final prediction was 52-46 for Zero, so... I was just about spot on...

Guliani was also my first choice. He would have been a much stronger candidate than McCain. During the general election campaign, he was also the only McCain surrogate that I thought was genuinely effective on the screaming head shows.
And, ahem, I will be joining you with great enthusiasm in response to people who try to discount the polls next time around.
