My bets on the election ...
OK. So it's only a bet in Huffington Post's "guess the election" contest, but this is what I tossed in the mix. (Wishful thinking may be in play. ...)
Huffington Post was asking for electoral college breakdown (by numbers), popular vote breakdown (by percentages), House and Senate breakdowns (by numbers) and (as the tie-breaker for the woo-hoo! contest winner), the percentage breakdowns in the Minnesota Senate race.
My bets:
Electoral College: Obama 340 McCain 198
Popular Vote: Obama 54.1% McCain 42.2% Other 3.7%
House: Dem 246 Rep 189
Senate: Dem 59 Rep 39 Other 2
Minnesota Senate:
Franken 45%
Coleman 42%
Barkley 13%

Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
