Hmm... no idea... everything is too messed up. I'll sit this out.

Although I reckon there will be a couple of upsets. There usually is.

There are seven states that I consider to still be toss-ups.  They are too close to call.  They will determine the final outcome, and I expect the final outcome to be within two points in each of these seven.  They are: Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada.

I am not confident in predicting the election for either candidate.  There are too many states still in play and too many variables. 

Confidence Tally:
Kerry - 242
Bush - 213
Toss - 83

Final Tally:
Kerry - 304
Bush - 234

Popular Vote: 
Kerry - 51.0%
Bush - 47.0%
Other - 2.0%


Senate 50/50
House Dem 211, Rep 224

My map is based on prediction of 6-8% higher turnout than normal, which I believe will help Kerry big time. The turnout will not only carry all the battlegrounds for him but will win him also states that are barely Bush as CO, NV, WV and AR.

If I am wrong and turnout is not as big as I expect then Bush might carry some of the MI, WI, IA and MN as well as a sure wins in FL, NV, AR, WV and NM. Thus winning the election.

There's my final.
Kerry 325, Bush 213.  So what if it's partisan?  Undecideds break for the challenger and I'm a crazy optimistic 17-year-old liberal with backlash from the ultraconservative people who live around me.
No abstentions!

Bush 300 - Kerry 238

Maybe a bit optimistic on WI & NH, but ah well.

Bush wins 50.2-47.8 in the EV, 1 to Nader and 1 to various others

Let's see if I can get the image to post:



Kerry 297
Bush 240
Faithless 1 (WV)

Final tally:
Kerry 52
Bush 46.5
Others:1.5%

Badnarik > Cobb > Petrokia > Nader.

I think turnout will be very high, and though Bush will do well in his strongholds Kerry will carry the day in most of the battleground states.  I am calling Virginia for Kerry on the theory that high voter turnout in the NoVa suburbs will tip the ballance over to his side.

My Prediction:

Kerry: 293
Bush: 245

States to note:

Colorado and New Mexico are Kerry because of the heavy hispanic turnout tomorrow.

Bush wins Florida, but loses Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa

Virginia will probably go Bush. but is a tossup

New Hampshire switch sides and goes Kerry

Senate:

GOP pads lead in Senate to 55-45 (net gain of 4).  They gain South Dakota, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, and North Carolina and the GOP loses Illinois and Oklahoma and the Dems will gain the other Oklahoma Senate Seat in 2008.

Dems gain ground in the House.  Current makeup is 226-208-1.  The Dems will pick up 6 seats, 4 in Texas and 1 in Oklahoma CD 1, and 1 elsewhere, and the independent turns Democrat making the new House makeup 222-213.
Tom DeLay is one of the congressmen that will lose.
