Politics Commander in Chief 1 Jul 2008 This is me commenting on American politics again. Sorry. I am somewhat amazed at the furore over Wesley Clark’s comment that being a prisoner of war doesn’t automatically make one qualified as Commander in Chief of the armed services, a position that the President fulfills. Not only is that true,… Read More
Politics Political oxymorons 4 Nov 2007 I have a rule: a political party is usually the exact opposite of its name. Hence, the Liberal Party of Australia is not liberal, the National Party is not national, the Labor Party does not represent those who work, and Family First… well, what can one say? Read More

I’m going to be cautiously optimistic. If I weren’t worried about manipulation of voting machines in key states I would be up where you are, but instead I will call Obama with 295 votes. Just enough to win.

I cannot do arithmetic to save my life. I should have said “364, three off, so there!” He’s got NC, and won’t get MO. I reckon three off isn’t bad when people like Susan, who is an informed Democrat on the ground, said 315. Mike got even less. I win the milkshake.
John, How do you come up with 367? According to CNN, two states are undecided. The total could be 349, 360, 364 or 374.
MO is still up for grabs per AP. That could make it 375, not my math error of 374. This could take weeks to decide. But I doubt the Supreme Court will intervene to settle this milkshake.
