Official election predictions

You guys would NOT believe what I just head about Sarah Palin.....

(Sorry, iSM, couldn't resist).

An election thread is entirely appropriate, and it doesn't have to degenerate into another Palin thread. Scaeagles made it clear that it's a general thread, and there are a lot of other campaigns and issues being voted on besides the Presidency.

Here in Washington, the governor's race is pretty much even, or so I've read. The last election (between the same candidates) was very nasty, and this one has been as well. I don't really care for either candidate, but I'm going with Gregroire (our current gov), mostly because the thought of having a governor named after Fred Flintstone's dog is a bit off-putting.

Slots is the big issue here.

Personally I'm all for them. I would never play slots so it's a tax someone else pays.

The problems is that with slots, the tax revenue would be paid by those least able to afford it. I can't say I like that.

So much like a vote for Obama, I'll probably vote my conscience over my own financial interests.
