Issue 35: November 1, 2008 – Election Preview and Predictions’ Putting on our
swami hats – here are our predictions of the winners and losers on Tuesday.
Topic 1: Presidential Race
A Mason-Dixon poll released Saturday shows Obama up by 2 points in Florida, a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby
Poll shows McCain up by 1. McCain is in Tampa today. Palin stopped in New Port Richey, Lakeland and Ocala on
Saturday. Biden campaigned in Daytona and Tallahassee yesterday, and Obama is scheduled to appear in
Jacksonville today. Early voting suggests that Obama will take a lead into Election Day here in Florida,
so McCain will have to win the Election Day vote.
Prediction: Winner Obama. McCain should carry Florida in a nail bitter,
but Obama will carry the nation winning: Colorado, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Wisconsin. Missouri, Virginia
, and Ohio are too close to call. Even if McCain wins all three, he will fall short.
Bonus Prediction: Electoral Vote Count: Obama 322; McCain 216.’
