Prediction

My not-so-bold prediction is for an Obama win tomorrow.

I want to believe the internal McCain pundits who say the race is tightening and that a chance still exists for an upset win. Still, I have this feeling that this race will turn out a lot like the Michigan governor's race of 2006.

It was pretty close near the end. Governor Granholm had yet to ever really get above 50 percent in any polls. People were saying the "undecideds" always go against the incumbent and for the challenger. Our economy was (and still is) in the tank. The GOP candidate was a likable, qualified, well-funded, successful businessman at a time when Michigan was (and still is) in desperate need of some business sense.

He lost. And by a much larger margin than most predicted.

I get the same feeling about tomorrow. That anything breakable will be breaking Obama's way. In fact, about the best thing McCain has going for him at this point is this:

I met Democrates once. Nice guy. No maverick.
