The Beltway Boys on Fox predict a Bush win with 286 Electoral votes. They also predict legal challenges - big surprise there.

Anybody want to make a prediction? I said, back on Aug 20th, when Kerry finally answered the Swift Vets, that he was toast. I still think so. I expect a strong win, about 300 electorial, and a 51% or better total.

Anybody want to make a prediction? Strong Bush. Maybe not of landslide proportions, but a strong win, both with popular vote and in the electoral college. There may be a few states that surprise, i.e., states that had been thought would be solid Kerry wins, that will go for Bush.

Anybody want to make a prediction? A Howard-style Bush win. MSM says "close, close, close"; in the end it's not close. Bush by 4 or 5 points.

Sure, Gina, I'll make a prediction: Too close to call. Friday I would have said Bush trend. Today Fox says tie. RealClearPolitics has it as a tie: realclearpolitics.com No way I can call it today. Perhaps I'll think differently tomorrow. I will say this: The weather will not be Kerry's friend. It may ultimately affect the result more than any one factor. Lots of rain expected in the upper Midwest and the East Tuesday. It is well-known that Dems are less likely to vote than Republicans if the weather is bad. This may very well tip one or two swing states into W's camp.

Bush win. Tucker Carlson isn't a Bush supporter, BTW.

Outlook 2004 Crystal Ball This was a silly exercise. Of course Donna Brazile is going to predict a Kerry win. Even if she thought otherwise, she would have to predict a Kerry win out of team loyalty. It makes more sense to listen to pollsters whose reputation rides on accuracy, not on one side or the other.

"Good luck on Tuesday, wherever you may vote." First of all I don't wish my enemy good luck. That is a feel good attitude which I abhor. As for an election prediction.....Both candidates declare victory Tuesday night..... Hundreds of lawsuits are filed....its becomes clear that it will end up with the US Supremes....one of the Supremes dies suddenly...after careful arguments presented by David Bois and Ed Koch the court proffers a tie vote 4-4. Kerry asks that Jimmy Carter certify this 4-4 vote. Goofy Annan says a tie vote should be decided by a "global test". Bush resigns......President Cheney says go f*** yourself to Senators Leahy, Daschle. Kennedy,Levin,Clinton,Schummer,Boxer, Edwards, Kerry,Graham, Feingold, Feinstein, Nelson, Corizine.................. Cheney thinks to himself "What a bunch of low life anti-American SOB's." Bush wins easily.....RB
