Hey November, Get here already!

This election is going to be fun! Unless I die of a heart attack first! Really, can November come any sooner!

Think of all of the variables involved here:

  • Record new voter registrations
  • Possible elements of voter fraud
  • Post-election legal issues
  • Underestimated republican votes in the polls
  • Wild swings in the polls
  • Record number of youth voters (or not)
  • Record turnout (or not)
  • Kerry or Bush gaffe

    I wish I had a variable machine that could throw these options into a level and see what would happen. There are just too many balls in the air to really understand where they are going to fall. My own prediction is this: It will be a close election with legal action or a Bush landslide.
