It's coming down to the wire. Anybody want to lay out it there, for a chance at the everlasting glory of saying: "Told ya so?"

Too many variables. If I had to pick I'd say Obama by a thin margin. I expect to see Libertarians and Greens total up to above 5%, but neither one alone having enough to force their way into the process next round.

I'll go with "B-Rock" and "closer than the last one."

I already voted early in Ohio and sent in absentee ballots with forged utility bills in 3 other battleground states, so I know Obama is going to win.

Oh wait

Things will be all Obama according to the MSM early on, and then the tide will begin to turn.

Obama barely wins, but Romney wins popular vote.

MSM will declare that the people have spoken, and they wanted four more years of Obama policies.

Liberals will be unbearable for the next year. Hopefully, the Dems don't maintain control of Congress, and Obama will be a lame duck president.

Line out the door when the polls opened in my small.community. lots of motivated country folk voting today.

My polling place checks ID'S, then checks your name against two lists. Then annotates your ballot number against your name. I dont know what happens if you refuse to show id or you arent on the list.

One woman in front of me.said she was already marked as having voted absentee, she said she hadnt. Dont know what became of it.

Saw a couple hardcore hippie folk... white people with dreads and tiedye and shit.... never saw anything like them around here.

Yahoo poll on front page has 57% Mitt. A little shocked by that no matter how unscientific.

Some hilarious YouTube videos are being posted showing voting machines "cheating".

The one that's super hot on FB and twitter right now shows an Obama vote going to Romney.

Folks are ignoring the fact that:
1. Such cheating wouldn't be blatant.
2. C-A-L-I-B-R-A-T-I-O-N
3. All the related videos are similar, but the votes aren't going to R&R.

You just need to hope people on your team are better at cheating than the people on their team, I guess.

Howard Dean already has said, "The only way we lose this is by fraud." Way to poison the process, champ.
