...Let's see, at 8:49am I posted the following:<br /><br />"Predictions: <br /><br />1 - Obama wins more than 300 electoral votes (including PA), carrying Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, New Hampshire, Nevada, Wisconsin and Iowa, possibly Florida, but too close to call. North Carolina looks like a stretch, but a good ground game could pull that off. The Democrats did register hundreds of thousands of new voters there in the last two years, so it's not a stretch.<br /><br />2 - Senate: Dems 53, Republicans 45, Independents (Dems) 2. The GOP has shot themselves in the foot for the second election cycle, and 2014 isn't going to be any better.<br /><br />3 - House: Republicans retain control. Margins narrow.<br /><br />4 - PA Statewide: Dems sweep statewide races. Ticket-splitting will be pretty rare.<br /><br />5 - Hillary Clinton wins in 2016. Democrats add 4 nominees to the Supreme Court by 2020.<br /><br />8:49 AM"<br /><br />As of 3:45am, all of my predictions are correct. When Florida is finally called for Obama, my prediction for 332 Electoral Votes will be confirmed.<br /><br />The only disappointment is the fact that the house, which is disgustingly gerrymandered, will remain in Republican hands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-48372234375346957812012-11-07T02:32:28.277-05:002012-11-07T02:32:28.277-05:00The best man won.

For me, America as I knew it ended in 1980 - and, in my judgement, we are still reeling as a result of that grievous error in judgement.<br /><br />There are huge challenges directly in front of us. Regardless of partisan divisions, we have to come together to solve them. It's time we all start looking for common ground.<br /><br />Regardless, I'm riding it out too.

My picks were the candidates I thought best suited to the job, not necessarily those I thought would win. I have felt all along that Obama would win. But that does not make your pick "dead on." What will make your pick right is if Obama performs as a good President in his second term.
