Predictions on today's elections anyone? I'm going out on a limb and calling New York for John Kerry. I also think that most of the country will break the same way as 2000, with a few exceptions. Of Iowa, Wisconsin, and New Mexico, two will go to Kerry, and either Ohio or Florida will go Kerry. I'm no pundit, but that's what I think (and hope) will happen.

No matter the outcome, I can rest assured that I will see no more commercials that end with "I approved this message" until next year's mayoral race. The question is, will I rest happy or will I rest in anger with who will be the White House. Thats assuming I'll know who wins by the time I go to sleep tonight.

And while I'm throwing support to men named John, you should all head on over to my friend John(ny)'s site, Signal to Noise. He's much more wonky than I, as political science Ph.D. candidates are wont to be. In fact, I might not be wonky at all. I just love the word. Why "Signal to Noise"? Well, it's detailed here, but it's something to do with the relative "noise" to value ratio of information out there in the blogosphere, especially the political one. Anyway, John's site has got much more hard hitting political analysis than this one. It might not make any sense to us laymen, but it's a good, and interesting, read so far. Now lets see if he can live up to the hype and the rigors of blogging.
