Feelin' Blue (in a good way)

Not that it really matters (does anything ever?), but I'm putting the final results here for posterity.

Turns out I was right on both counts, but by being super conservative in fear of jinxing him, I ended up grossly under-estimating his margin of victory.

Numbers to savour:

365 - 173

52.7% - 45.9%

I hereby salute the man for his political savvy and ambition; his amazing oratory skills; his unwavering message of positivity, courage, hope, and change; his uncanny luck and timing; and last but not least, his awesomely run campaign.

Yes! We! Can!

"We are the ones we've been waiting for.

We are the change that we seek."

"Rosa sat,

so that Martin could walk,

so that Jesse could stand,

so that Obama could run,

so that our children can fly."

Now quickly get to work to restore the global economy, achieve world peace, make poverty history, end world hunger, reverse global warming....before the right-wing extremists get to you!!!

Sayin' it as I see it

Ok, that's it.
I can't keep it in for fear of jinxing it anymore, so I'm gonna say it loud and clear.

Everybody's saying the race is narrowing, but then again it's in everyone's interest to say so.
McCain needs to say it otherwise all his supporters will loose faith and give up.
BO needs to say it cos otherwise all his supporters will be too confident and not vote on Tuesday.
The media needs to say it cos it makes for more interesting news.

But the bare, simple truth is - the math just don't add up for McCain:

He's got no money, no consistent message, no charisma, no luck, and no hope.

Plus his fatal miscalculation re his running mate...I'm not even gonna cheapen my blog by mentioning her name.

So, here goes:

It's gonna be a BO landslide.
He'll take > 300 electoral college votes, and he might even go > 50% nationally.

Ok, I've said it.
Now let's see if I jinx him or not.
Fingers crossed!!!
