Evolution Why do they kill? 10 Dec 2007 Just to head off the obvious: Do people kill because their religion or ideology tells them that nonbelievers are subhuman? Yes. Do people go to war because their religion or ideology tells them it is their patriotic duty? Yes. Do people walk into a church or missionary school and kill… Read More
Evolution Nationalism and evolution 3 Dec 2007 Way back in the 1910s, when human evolution was poorly known, some trickster, probably Charles Dawson, its discoverer, set up a hoax: Piltdown man. This was enthusiastically accepted by many British experts because it made Britain, and in particular, England, a leading locale in human evolution. This was the era… 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.

Remarkably, it’s possible. Here, this guy has been the most accurate predictor I know for the past several elections: http://www.cookpolitical.com/

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.
