With the 2008 election for president right around the corner, meaning tomorrow November 4th, I'm am confident to announce that Barack Obama will most definitely win! Throughout this election, both candidates have had equal shares in polling data, but within the past couple months, with victorious debates and campaigns, and numerous publicity ads, Barack Obama has significantly risen above John McCain. As for electoral college votes, so far Obama has 286 votes, McCain has 157, and there are still 95 undecided. Even if McCain receives a majority of the swing states, Obama is still going to lead, and I think he will win with over 300 electoral votes. To take a guess of popular votes in the country, I'd say Obama will have around 65 million votes or about 55% of overall votes on the ballots. I think McCain will only have around 50 milli0n, if that, or only 40% of votes.
For the Senate Race, it is almost obvious to everyone that Mark Warner will win. Not only because he has a huge lead in the polls over his competition, but he has a good reputation as governor and he's a heart warming kind of guy.
In the two local House Races, I think the winner of the 10th District will be Republican candidate Frank Wolfe, with leading votes in the polls and once again a good reputation with the public. In the 11th district, Democratic candidate for H.O.P., Gerry Connolly, will probably win since polls show he has a lead and he has had only a few ads, but more than Republican Keith Fimian.

its the morning of the election now... Obama hasnt won any electoral votes, yet. However, I went out this morning to my local polling place at quarter to 7(about an hour after the polls opened). I found out that someone had arrived at 430!!! so as not to wait in line. Another man had arrived at 530, with about 100 people in line. At 645 I talked to a woman toward the front of the line(of about 200 people). who had arrived when the polls opened, at 6. Many people are coming out to vote this election, line or not, and Democrats have the majority...
I made the same predictions :)
Obama, Wolf, Warner, and Connolly. Three out of four of these candidates are democrat and I feel that the Democratic Party is finally about to end this eight-year long Republican rule. McCain's trying real hard and I feel bad for him, but I still hope Obama wins!
