Hello, and I hope you voted today!

I remain extremely optimistic that this time there will be no chicanery, no shenanigans, that for once in quite some time we'll have a clean reflection of what the people want and desire in their government.

I've been perusing around to see what the Vegas-type odds are saying at various web sites and I'm heartened by what I'm finding. For example, at World Sports Exchange, Obama is favored to win the election by a percentage of 93% (out of 100%), meaning it should be a lock. In the following key states Obama has very strong numbers: FL 73%, VA 87%, OH 80%, NV 83%, PA 90%, and NC 57%.

Not to jinx it, but it looks like he should easily get over 300 electoral votes. Tomorrow starts a new, long-awaited era.
