We don’t do predictions. We’ve learned our lesson the hard way, long ago.
🙂
that is a winning prediction. 🙂
Romanoff over Bennet 51-49
With a big controversy over provisional ballots dragging this thing out way too long.
Romanoff ends up winning anyway.
Buck over Norton 55-45
Maes over McInnis 52-48
And Cary Kennedy is going to win the General so who cares.
Bennet over Romanoff – 52.6% – 47.4%

There’s a reason television seasons only include 13 episodes: the writers can’t come up with new material. Same with political seasons: blog hosts can’t come up with new subjects.
Beyond that, the subject has become boring. No new comments or pithy observations; just the same old same old. Shill! Liar! Ass! Liar! Bullshit! Liar! Sandinista! (ok, scratch the last one.)
Why bother predicting anything a mere 180 (or is it 240) minutes before we’ll know for a fact? Better to use the time to stock up on shill swill (do all Romanoffskis drink vodka?) or cheap Midwestern colored water sold as “beer” whose one-time advertising symbol is probably extinct (or am I thinking of the beer that made Milwaukee famous?) for the Bennetistas. Whatever. It’s been a boring contest between two fundamentally boring candidates, neither of whom seems poised to accomplish very much, at least not in the next two years, and neither one of whom has offered any cool new ideas that I can remember.
Might as well settle back and watch Rome burn, watch the society fly apart, and yes, use the Senate as our soporific. Good night, Irene. (And yes, on this topic, that’s a promise. Zzzzzzzz.)
or is just grumpy that we won’t have Romanoff to kick around tomorrow.
If you don’t want to talk about politics on a primary day with record turnout then why in the hell are you reading political junkie taunts when your Gardenia beds need weeding?
Thus JO’s zzzzzzzzz.
Plenty of redundant drivel and nasty ad hominem attacks here – thankfully punctuated by the rare sign of an intelligent, educated, skeptical mind.

It is embarrassing that I was dancing around the living room during their episodes but not as embarrassing as your predictions. Just kidding. I’ll be eating a lot of crow tomorrow if your guy pulls it out.
You have always been very reasoned and respectable. I have not always followed your good example. Emotions get the better some times, obviously. 🙂
With the general we now get to fight on the same team!
Is take the average at 7:00pm – it is likely to be more accurate than any individual estimate.

Stapleton: 52-48 But really does anyone know who either of these guys are. Other than an old airport.
