I have been following the presidential campaign closely for the last 21 months. It’s been crazy, and I am almost sad to have it end tomorrow, almost. From what I have seen and observed, I’m going to go out on a limb and lay my predictions down for the election. I do not think that Democrats will not get the 60 filibuster-proof majority many say they will get in the Senate. They do have the best chance of any party since FDR though, no small thing. I think the House Democrats will enlarge their majority, possibly even to 260. That would be a huge number, and historic, but not a lot would change on capital hill. As for the 800 pound gorilla, I think that Obama will sweep with around 300 electoral votes. That’s right, for the first time in 8 years it won’t be a razor-thin victory, it will be a blow out. Let’s see what happens, on election night keep a close eye on Indiana, Virginia, and Florida. I do say these predictions with trepidation though, nither side has this thing in the bag. Mcain could still win this; I just find it unlikely.
Here are some great resources to look at. Get informed! VOTE!
