Election thoughts

Pretty much all the election projection Websites like this one [http://www.electoral-vote.com/] show Obama over 270 electoral votes. Even very overtly Republican Websites like Real Clear Politics and Election Projection have Obama at 277 and 364 electoral votes, respectively. In contrast, MSNBC and CNN have Obama at 264 and the New York Times has him at 260. Chris Bowers has a story on this descrepancy. He hypothesizes that they are afraid of being accused of being pro-Obama and would like a close race since that gets more readers/viewers. He ends with: "So much information is publicly available now that a few nerds obsessed with poll numbers are much better sources for election information than you will ever get from big media." I guess that's a compliment, sort of.

I believe this will be a landslide for Obama.

I think Barack Obama did pretty well in the debate earlier this week. It looks like he's going to win ! Steve Malzberg think he's totally unqualified but you know something, I think it will be great when we get a new President with youth and ambition. America needs to be led into the 21st century by someone with fresh eyes, and he might as well be the guy to do it !
