I need to know: who do you predict is going to win the U.S. presidential election on Tuesday? Please let me know in the comments.... I’ll go first.
Also, on a completely unrelated topic (but as long as I’m asking for a little feedback), what do you think of putting paper towels on display by the sink: ugly, or not ugly? (Picture below)
“The superior man contains the means in his own person. He bides his time and then acts. Why then should not everything go well? He acts and is free. Therefore all he has to do is to go forth, and he takes his quarry. This is how a man fares who acts after he has ready the means.”
“kindergarchy n. Rule or domination by children; the belief that children’s needs and preferences take precedence over those of their parents or other adults.”
“As in 2007, the average U.S. worker has 14 vacation days this year. Just across the Canadian border, our counterparts get an average of 17 vacation days annually. But if you want a real “vacation envy” complex, consider the vacation banks of European workers. France tops the list with an average of 37 days, followed by Italy (33 days), Spain (31), the Netherlands and Austria (28), Germany (27) and Great Britain (26). “
Yes, I think it will be pretty close. But I don't think Kerry will be able to pull it off. Too bad.

I'm completely incapable of making an objective prediction here -- anything I said would either be my hope or my fear talking. They're both so big there's no room for anything else.
But I suspect we'll never know who "won." The White House will go to whomever has the craftiest legal team.
Hawaii's 4 electoral votes put John Kerry over the edge and into the White House! ALOHA! P.S. The paper towels add character to your kitchen...thumbs up!
I have to agree with byrneout... I hope for Kerry but fear it might be Bush. In one of the billion polls out there, it actually says Hawaii is no longer in the Kerry column.
As for the paper towels, they don't add nearly as much character as that Diet Coke can.

Click on the URL for my paper towel holder choices (the first two, not the one on the right).
I want Kerry to win, so that's my prediction, but I'm worried that the electoral college will work against him.
I think Bush will win because he can actually lose in the "battleground states" and still win the election whereas Kerry doesn't have that luxury.
However, if Bush loses, I forsee a reverse scenario of the 2000 election, where in this case Bush will win the popular vote and Kerry will win the electoral college.
You heard it here first.
As for the paper towels, I vote no.
