ELECTION PREDICTION

Given what I’ve read – and heard – since the nominating conventions, I’m going to go way out on a limb with these predictions. Someone can hand me a saw later.

1. It will be McCain/Palin by a landslide, possibly rivaling the 1972 Presidential election.

2. The Democratic party as currently constituted will collapse in flames.

3. After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, a new center-left Democratic party will arise from the ashes, consigning the progressive “reality-based” wing to the “dustbin of history.”

4. Moderates and independent voters will have a choice again.

Republicans, if they’re smart, will take prediction #3 very seriously. [Prediction #5: they won’t.]

BUMPER SNICKERS

McCAIN/PALIN - strong, decisive

OBAMA/BIDEN - wrong, divisive

LOOK FAMILIAR?


BIKE RACE

This one is too good to pass up.
