My Prediction

I know I owe you some pics from Atlanta, not to mention more words.  But I have been feeling private lately and a little too obsessed with politics.  Anyway here's my pretty safe bet for the night as I wrote in a recent email to a friend who is a bit nervous about his first election.  he even bought champagne.

Be ready with your champagne early.

Watch GA and VA... they both close at 7pm Eastern and are small enough that results should come in fast. Virginia is a red leaning swing state. It is supposed to be one of the swing states that McCain has a real chance of winning, but he isn’t.  If Obama wins it, the race is pretty much over.

GA is more interesting. It is not a swing state but solidly red. However, it has a ridiculous black population and it is one of the places with huge new voter registration and lots of long lines already.  If Obama takes GA then not only is McCain screwed but the Dems will have a great night and possibly hit 60.  I was just in

Atlanta and caught some of the local political ads from Saxby Chamblis (R for Real Name). He is def tying his Dem opponent to Obama and clearly hoping for some racist voting.  It may be a mistake this year given the black vote in GA might be massive.  

 If McCain wins VA and GA then it will be more like the recent elections with late night possibly not until the next day results.

Oh yeah,

GO VOTE
