    54-55% 1000 days - bring the tax base home from overseas - America goes back to work - 330+ electoral votes - that's my prediction.

    " With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."

    McCain gave a great generous conciliatory speech. Obama's was also inspiring.

    NYT's Friedman talks of a 'Buffett effect'. Anecdotally, I have heard some hard republicans express criticism of their party.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/05/opinion/05friedman.html?partner=permalink&exprod=permalink

    But there also may have been something of a “Buffett effect— that countered the supposed “Bradley effect— —” white voters telling pollsters they'd vote for Obama but then voting for the white guy. The Buffett effect was just the opposite. It was white conservatives telling the guys in the men's grill at the country club that they were voting for John McCain, but then quietly going into the booth and voting for Obama, even though they knew it would mean higher taxes.

    Why? Some did it because they sensed how inspired and hopeful their kids were about an Obama presidency, and they not only didn't want to dash those hopes, they secretly wanted to share them. Others intuitively embraced Warren Buffett's view that if you are rich and successful today, it is first and foremost because you were lucky enough to be born in America at this time —” and never forget that. So, we need to get back to fixing our country —” we need a president who can unify us for nation-building at home.

    And somewhere they also knew that after the abysmal performance of the Bush team, there had to be consequences for the Republican Party. Electing McCain now would have, in some way, meant rewarding incompetence. It would have made a mockery of accountability in government and unleashed a wave of cynicism in America that would have been deeply corrosive.

    338 and climbing... great speech - now for 1000 days of hard work. Riverside Board absolutely refuted. Their concepts are bankrupt, their tactics - whetehr putting up posters and flyers for their cause in the polling place or refusing to answer my FOIA request in time for the voters to be informed - are suspect and have been rejected. Now we must demand greater accountability and fairness, and work toward victory in April, 2009.
