So who's it going to be? Buster McMarxist or Methuselah Jones?
I am going to continue with my gloomy appraisal of how progressive US voters actually are, and say:
Obama 266 McCain 272
Which gives Obama most of the battleground states (including, very charitably I think, Nevada, Colorado, and Ohio), but leaves Pennsylvania and Florida swinging to McCain and pushing him over the edge.
To quote Sideshow Bob: "Your guilty conscience may move you to vote Democratic, but deep down you long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king."
It would be pretty hilarious if it went to the Supreme Court just before the Republican convention, he was ruled ineligible, and Huckabee and Ron Paul battled it out for the nomination.
