Predictions From Greg

What would prediction folly be without foolish predictions! So here's my 2.5 cents of clairvoyance:

1. People vote. Pretty sure that'll happen. In fact I can boldly predict tomorrow, Tuesday, November 4th people will vote. I'll go further. Some will make the right choice, others a wrong one. But all together, they're be more voices than we seen in a very long time. Nationally, between 65-68% of the voting age population will participate.

2. Someone wins. There will be a winner Election Night.

3. Margins won't matter. Closer than many expect, contests in battleground states will surprise pundits. Tight margins for both the eventual winner and loser, states narrowly won and lost, for both campaigns will keep people talking. Nonetheless, with out certainty, but with confidence mainstream media outlets will call elections as soon as they close, tilting the race even further. In the end, close margins don't count.

4. One Party will sweep. The Founders would frown, but there will be a singular control of both elected branches of government after Election Day.

5. President Obama will enjoy a 60 seat Senate after his 53.5% popular vote victory, secured by 300+ electoral votes (Florida and Indiana stay Red), buttressed with 260 House members.

6. Nation remains divided. A do-nothing Democrat Senate stops Obama and Pelosi from delivering their agenda. Voters on both sides of the spectrum remain cranky, those in the middle tune back out.

7. Campaign 2010/2012/2014 all remain elections of "change." At least America can recycle its empty slogans.
