Now that Dixville Notch, New Hampshire has voted (and selected Senator Obama by a 15-6 vote), I feel safe sharing my prediction with you. This is the prediction I made on October 9th.
Sort of interesting that my map is mighty similar to the map from the Washington Post’s The Fix political column:
NPR’s Ken Rudin doesn’t seem quite as optimistic for Obama although still sees him winning:
We will see how it all turns out. Wednesday morning at 9 (Bangkok time) the Roadhouse BBQ will be open, a special breakfast on the menu and all TVs tuned to election coverage. I’ll be there.


History in the making!
I bet the whole world knows who’s going to win, and tat’s right…..a new CHANGE!
Even though I am sure Obama will win, I am keeping my fingers crossed in the hope that I am right!
I just want him to win… I’m really on edge here. And will be until I finish class tomorrow and know what happens.
I hope Obama will win in the 325+ electoral votes!
As I write, it is 9:50 am EST. We are on our way to vote in about an hour, book in hand in case we have a long wait. This is an important time in the US, but in all honesty I’ll be glad when it’s over. I’d like some other “news” to read, see, hear. One thing to remember is that no matter what the final result of this election is, life goes on and we all need to find ways to work together to build a stronger economy, tackle the energy issues, assume responsibility for how we, as citizens, function within our society to build rather than tear down.
I hope it’s a landslide. . .either way, I’ll be on pins and needles all day.
I am hoping for a landslide in favor of Obama, God Willing. It truly is a very important and historical day in this country.
Either way, 2008 is still going to be one of the most famous presidential elections. We started with the first woman candidate, and even though she couldn’t stay, there’s the first black male candidate. But of course, my hopes lie on Obama and I bet he’ll win. haha.And, I enjoy reading your blog Chris. There’s a lot of interesting entries about your life in Thailand and I also like seeing all those dishes you make. Best of luck to you and Tawn regarding proposition 8.
@xMistyStarzLitex – Thanks – glad you enjoy the blog and thanks for the wishes for prop 8. We have our fingers crossed.
I’ve got CNN and NBC on my browser and PBS on the tube. I’m not American but I’m following this with great interest.
Whoa, it seems like you were pretty close with your prediction 🙂
