3894 is inadvertently giving me wonderful/evil thoughts....

I'm nauseated by the amount of Yes on 102 (AZ's gay marriage amendment) signs in my neighborhood. I think it's gonna pass here.

Posterboard....................................... ...........$1.10
Sharpie........................................... .............$0.99
Standing on a busy corner for a couple hours......$free

Knowing you did everything you could to prevent legalized discrimination...... priceless

(Still a couple days left to get the word out, folks!)

I'm not a statistician and I don't know a great deal about polls, but I've been looking at a couple of things and was wondering what everyone thought.

First, I've been following 538.com after mousepod pointed it out to me.
Take a look at the left hand side of their homepage. Obama's win percentage: 93.7%. Is that a realistic prediction?

Second, I've been following CNN's early voting map. Scroll over some of the states, some of them show a breakdown of Dem and Repub early voters. If a majority of those folks vote along party lines, then I think there will be bad news for McCain on Tueday.

Tell me what you think.

I'm not getting my hopes up, but this does kind of put me in a happier mood.

There's a group of YES ON 8 people who stand at the intersection by my work. Alex suggested I make a big sign that says "BIGOTS AHEAD" and then stand on the sidewalk ahead of them. rofl

Yes, the concept is, if the polls are right, Obama has a 93% chance of winning. Even the weakest polls for Obama show him as having more than enough electorals without any surprises, I believe.
