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)
“I’m not bitter about what happened to me as a child, and my mother was instrumental in keeping me from being so. ... She taught me to be grateful for my life regardless of what that entailed, and that’s directly related to the image of Christ on the cross and the example of sacrifice that he gave us. What she taught me is that the deliverance God offers you from pain is not no pain—it’s that the pain is actually a gift. What’s the option? God doesn’t really give you another choice.”
After over a decade of user testing, it is clear that the way we search the web is similar to the way we would search our home for valuables as it was burning to the ground. Frantically.
“We must shift the focus of companies back to the customer and away from shareholder value ... The shift necessitates a fundamental change in our prevailing theory of the firm… The current theory holds that the singular goal of the corporation should be shareholder value maximization. Instead, companies should place customers at the center of the firm and focus on delighting them, while earning an acceptable return for shareholders.”
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.

You can scroll right easily by holding down the SHIFT key and using your scroll wheel. (Firefox users trying this will end up jumping to old Web pages until a) Firefox releases a fix, b) they change their settings like so.)
