  We'll see tomorrow night just how accurate your "predictions" were.

  I predict that it won't be over for weeks.
  
  I predict lots of lawsuits.
  
  I predict that Bush will steal the election -- again.
  
  I predict that if that occurs, I will reread Che Guevara's "Guerilla Warfare Handbook" and well -- you know the routine:
  
  "Liberals" supposedly love and support the terrorists -- so why not become one?
  
  The only honorable job left in 21st Century America.

  hmm, Shark, you would appear to agree with MD on this

  So there is something wrong with agreeing with me that George W. Bush is a failed president and needs to be replaced. But, there is nothing wrong with being in bed with Andy Marsh, a nasty Neandertal who refers to women as 'bitches' and 'asses,' and would like to impose the final solution on the poor. That is the consequence of making decisions based mainly on greed, as Eric Olsen appears to do.

  I think Kerry will win OH and a couple of the other states you have for bush. My prediction Kerry by 2% popular vote with a solid electoral win.
  
  You don't need the Guerrilla handbook, just watch the CNN Iraq coverage and you'll get the idea.

  Yea, Eric, you greedy bastard. How DARE you happily provide a platform of nearly 20,000 unique visitors daily for the twisted Black Rage of anonymous Blogger Mac Diva, entirely free of charge?
  
  IT BE RACISM!

  "You don't need the Guerrilla handbook, just watch the CNN Iraq coverage and you'll get the idea."
  
  Thanks. If kids with RPGs strapped on donkeys can fuck with the American Military, that gives me hope that I can shut down my local Wal-Mart with a well-placed paper clip.
  
  PS: It's too bad the Bush administration and the sheep in the Pentagon didn't read up on nationalistic insurgencies under foreign occupation. But then again, I've heard George W. doesn't read books.
  
  Vinceramos!

  Shark's right. It won't be over for weeks, and it will be ugly. Neither camp has any honor or any dignity or any valor. It's all about winning.
  
  No matter who wins, the other side will say it was stolen by the victor.
  
  We have a real disaster on our hands.

  Kole: "...We have a real disaster on our hands."
  
  That's why I'm a big supporter of the Second Amendment!
  
  I say *Bring 'Em On!
  
  
  
  
  
  * Bush to terrorists; now don't you feel safer?

  I'm pretty good at this!
  
  I only got 5 states wrong:
  
  - I put FL and Iowa in Kerry's column.
  
  - I put MN, WI, and Hawaii in Bush's column.
  
  In my scenario, Kerry got FL's 27 EC votes and Iowa's 7 EC votes. Bush got MN's 10 EC votes, WI's 10 EC votes, and Hawaii's 4 EC votes.
  
  In other words, I had Kerry winning 34 more than he did, and Bush winning 24 more than he did.
  
  I was off a total of 10 EC votes.
  
  In other words, this Bush supporter UNDERESTIMATED Bush's margin of victory!
  
  Heh. It's nice to be wrong about some things... ;-D

  "We'll see tomorrow night just how accurate your "predictions" were."
  
  Pretty damn accurate!
  
  I botched Florida (Bush), Hawaii (Kerry), Iowa (Bush), Minnesota (Kerry), and Wisconsin (Kerry). Everything else I got correct (including the actual electoral winner).

  "I predict that it won't be over for weeks."
  
  WRONG
  
  "I predict lots of lawsuits."
  
  All the important lawsuits occured pre-election...
  
  "I predict that Bush will steal the election -- again."
  
  WRONG (twice)
  
  "I predict that if that occurs, I will reread Che Guevara's "Guerilla Warfare Handbook" and well -- you know the routine:
  
  "Liberals" supposedly love and support the terrorists -- so why not become one?
  
  The only honorable job left in 21st Century America."
  
  Well, this prediction may very well have come true. Since I haven't heard much from you lately, Shark, am I to assume you've created a terror cell deep behind Red State lines? :)

  Thankfully, you were incorrect. But such a prediction was hardly unrealistic...
