Predictions anyone?

We are 5 days away from election day 2012. I believe the race for President will be very close but it appears that Obama has an easier path to an electoral victory than Romney. Call it poetic justice, if you will, I also believe there is a 20-30% chance that Romney will win the popular vote count but lose the election. (Shades of 2000)

I predict a narrow Obama victory, with 284 electoral votes.

The Senate will remain in Democratic hands by the same 53-47 margin.

The House of Representatives will remain in Republican control by 10-12 seat margin. (Perhaps next time, Nancy)

No doubt that has been the Republicans main objective from Day 1 of the Obama Administration. Rush announced during Obama's first days in office that he hoped for a failed Obama Presidency. Not to be outdone, Mitch McConnell claimed shortly thereafter the primary Republican agenda was to make certain that Obama was a one term President. So much for the notion of an America first Republican, legislative agenda!

I can only hope that the two Overbearing Windbags, Rush and Mitch, will have a very long night next Tuesday.

bt...I've noticed that when you take of your political hat and observe things realistically you usually are 90% correct in your predictions.
But this race is just too close to call.
Heads Romney..Tails Obama.

We'll find out next Tuesday night.

I predict that there will be general disgruntlement no matter who wins, and that the economy will stay muddled for a while as things don't get fixed overnight just because the management changes.

Election is over....Romney won......

Predictions anyone?

That I will have a better year next year than this year. Because no matter who gets it, "my" implemented plan to improve "my" economy has worked and I have been able to "balance" my budget and eliminate my "debt" in anticipation of ... more of the same or an austerity plan to reduce government and debt.

If Obmaninable wins ... things will look bleak for the Dems on 2016. That's my prediction. Hillary is finished and the clown Bidenoxious has been banished to the Clowns' Hall of Fame.

Hopefully, Ms. Obaminable's veggies will grow for 4 years.

Romney has no clear path to 270 and he knows it. He is already losing the early voting.

Dispite Marshall, Joe's and Whirly's delusions and even the popular vote, I don't see how Romney can win.

President Barack Hussein Obama, 2nd Term!

Regardless who wins, we will still be told the same thing the doctor at the military induction said:

"Bend over, grab your cheeks, and crack a smile."

The very repectable Real Clear Politics (Whirly's words, not mine) is an excellent source for updated information.

I do believe the popular vote will be closer than the electoral college, probably within 1-2 percentage points. I would be the first to admit that the popular vote could go either way!

But it's all about the electoral college and in my opinion that is a tough nut for Mitt to crack! I predict a narrow electoral college (284-254) win for Obama!

We'll see how close I am on November 7!
