Current Prediction: Bush to Continue Leading Free World

PLVQ readers can examine my presidential prognosticative effort below, based as much on polling as on instinct and unscientific observations.

My prediction is more optimistic than Bellator Libertatis'sentiments in these last 48 hours; I encourage both him and Domina Sceleris to post their predictions as soon as they return from class this afternoon.

College Vote Totals:

BUSH 289
KERRY 249

Swing State victors:

BUSH: MN, OH, NV, NM, CO, FL
KERRY: PA, MI, IA, WI, HI

Included in this count is the presumption that all four of Maine's college votes go to Kerry (even though it's conceivable that Bush could win Congressional District II, and thus, one college vote) and also, that the ballot intiative to end Colorado's winner-take-all college vote system--which would take effect immediately and likely split the state's college votes 5-4--fails.

I reserve the right to revise my prediction prior to the opening of the polls on Tuesday, of course.
