November 2

9:00 PM
Despite rainy skies citizens are marching on the polls as they have not since 1968. Tomorrow their voice will resound across the world. It is a flag-waving day for the United States. No matter who wins this is a bright day for our democracy.

But I predict that tomorrow morning Senator John Kerry will add “president-elect” to his calling card. Polls have been tight and in many cases favorable to President Bush, but voter turnout is smashing records all over the United States. The voting proportion of the public will exceed the proportion pollsters deemed “likely voters” and newly energized voters will catapult a democrat into office.

I guess neither Chap nor I are any good at predictions. I couldn’t predict the presidential election and he couldn’t predict that if he rolled in the spoiled meat in the parking lot he would get a bath. Neither of us is satisfied with the results of our miscalculations but I’m betting a midnight swim in the Gulf will lift our spirits.
