Election Predictions? :: Issues

Here is an interesting look at the statistics in this year's upcoming presidential election. Although nation-wide polls have it looking pretty even, a state-by-state breakdown has Kerry ahead by a good margin in terms if electoral votes. That's hopeful!

So what do my readers think? Who's going to win this election? Who do you want to win this election? Who would your dream candidate be and how do you think they'd do if they were in the race?

Me? I'm a pessimist, through and through. I'm afraid Kerry isn't going to be able to handle Bush. And besides, Kerry just strikes me as not really caring, for some reason. Bush cares. He cares about personal vendettas, corporations, crushing civil liberties, oil profits, destroying science, and promoting the agenda of the Religious Right. But at least he cares. Kerry just strikes me as very one-dimensional. And I don't like him. But I'm voting for him, because Bush is just that awful. My dream candidate? Dennis Kucinich's politics with the integrity of John McCain. Would such a candidate win? Probably not: one has to shift so far to the center to win a presidential election in this country that the two salient features of said dream candidate would be all but moot. Oh well.

Post a comment with your opinion!

Update: Fixed the link. This goes to the site's main page, which has the electoral map I wanted to point to in the first place. This one might be subject to change, though, so if it contradicts what I was saying, ignore what I was saying!
