I've been sick all week and just in a generally bad mood. I'm trying to brace myself for what I think could be the worst night for Republicans across the board since probably 1932 (the year my grandmother was born!)

Obama will probably win this thing now, I'm almost sure of it, unless an October miracle comes and really turns this thing around. I think a 54/46 race is just about as bad as it could get. with an 8 point margin, maximum, here's what that translates into the EC: 378-160;

If things get beyong annihilation, Obama COULD win Georgia, North Dakota, South Dakota, Arkansas, Louisiana, and West Virginia: 419-119



As far as the US Senate goes, this: a net pick-up of 8 seats, defeating 5 incumbents (AK, OR, MN, NH, NC) and picking up 3 open seate (CO, NM, VA); If

 things are beyond annihilation, then the one seat in MS could go, and ME could also go too for a total of 10 seat gains: 59-39-2
but hey i'm bracing for the absolute WORST!!



And as for the House, I can;t really keep up with all of those races, but I'll guess somewhere in the ballpark of a net gain of 10 for the Democrats.




somebody please wake me up from this nightmare!!

Well, yeah, I'm about 90% sure Obama has it wrapped up on Election Night...early voters and first time coters are in his column 2-1 now, I hear.

And I actually do understand why everyone is freaked out about Sarah Palin being President if anything God forbid were to happen to McCain. My brother and my girlfriend's brother were undecided voters, but now they're definitely voting for Obama because of Sarah Palin.

For personal reasons, I really hope the GOP can hold Florida (McCain had better start playing defense there!!! bigtime!!). Any Kerry state, New Mexico and Iowa were gone from day 1, Colorado is now gone and thus the election. Anything that goes after Colorado is a bonus...

Virginia is almost consistently polling Obama (thankyou Jim Gilmore, you freakin' JOKE!!) (even though I do like and support Mark Warner...it's just that a large Warner victory probably translates into a slim Obama victory)

, and the ACORN group in Ohio is trying to pull an upset for Obama. Nevada is anyone's guess and Indiana is frightening.

North Carolina should come back to us on Election Night and Missouri should stay red.

Auburn, it ain't over yet. I don't expect a fan of such a great SEC team to have such an attitude. And I got your back here in FL dude. What part of FL you in?

Thanks Statesrights, I appreciate it. It's just I've been sick all week and generally in a bad mood, so seeing polls like this certainly hasn't helped. AUBURN did beat the Vols last week thank God, and we play Vandy this week in Nashville so hopefuly Chris Todd won't let us down. I like kodi burns alot better than todd, but it's all political game on who gets to play...it's disgusting.

I was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale (The bluest of all Blues), but I moved to Memphis when I was in the 7th grade, and lived there for six years until college here in the great RED state of Alabama!

I still like to consider myself a Floridian though, and if there was a way I could register in Florida to vote, I'd do it in a hear beat.

What part of Florida are you in??

Fort Lauderdale's nice... I'm in greater Miami. I think States is in Plant City or something.

Ahh ok. Well technically, I actually lived in Lauderdale by the Sea, right next to Pompano Beach. Man how I miss going to the beach every day after school and the weekends...tear, tear Sad
