I'm basically apolitical and haven't been following the presidential race, but that doesn't mean I don't have opinions. I may be uninformed, but given the huge volume of bullshit generated by political candidates, I actually think this gives me an advantage, so let's see.
In my view the Democrats committed suicide as soon as their field narrowed to just Obama and Clinton. No black or women has ever been elected president of the United States. It will inevitably happen someday, and it could be in this very election, but what are the odds? In other words, I long ago decided that the Republicans had already won the election, and I'm going to stick with that:

McCain - 270
Obama - 268 Nevada, New Mexico and Iowa go Obama, all other swing states go McCain. One of Maine's electoral college goes to McCain, giving McCain a win. I don't want this to happen but I'm a pessimist.

It has already been decided by the people who run this country who will be the next president. They did their job in getting the media to play along. If their efforts fulfil their intentions then Obama wins. If racism trumps brainwashing, McCain wins.
Since I believe that the power of the media to persude voters if much more powerful and effective than racism, my prediction would be... Obama: 286McCain: 252 Edited by onifre, : changed mccain "All great truths begin as blasphemies" "I smoke pot.
