The election is over.

I'm both totally taken aback and kicking myself for not factoring in the draw of Issue 1. Plus the polls seem to be absolutely worthless...so much for a statistically tie favoring the challenger. On the upside, I correctly predicted 47 of 50 states for Bush/Kerry...of the three I missed, FL and OH have to be it. IA seems generally irrevelant now. I did not honestly believe between the polls and the strong Gore showing, that FL would go to Bush. OH, I was betting on Cleveland, Columbus, and Toledo carrying the state...vastly underestimating the rural vote and the draw of Issue 1...that should have been obivious! No wonder Bush skipped Ohio entirely for three weeks...the base was energized and there.
