Predict the final outcome of the electoral vote, the popular vote, and the party breakdown of the new Senate and House. The winner gets an iPod already loaded with the top songs of the '08 race.
Sell Obamas now. They are overpriced and the forward market has gone crazy. If he becomes president in two days, the bubble will burst, I guess in the spring of next year.
We watch millionaires and paid Republican hacks appear on television yelling "Socialist!" at Obama as if the Bolsheviks are coming to rape our daughters.
Whether it be victory over the Iraqis or the recession, voters will hopefully set aside the need for any clear-cut victory against some of the windmills we currently tilt at and vote on Tuesday for the truth.
If you asked a pollster, they'd probably tell you I'm the last person they'd expect to speak out for a Democratic presidential candidate a few days before the election.
It was the day McCain spoke at Liberty University. In my view, that day began the destruction of one of the best brands in American politics.
British bookmaking site Betfair had all 50 states right in 2004. As did rival site Intrade. As one gambler told me, "A pollster can still bill for an inaccurate poll. Bookmakers must make an accurate line or they lose -- period."
Sarah Palin is what you might call "intellectually incurious." I think when Joe the Plumber is talking to Palin he has to slow it down. So where'd she come up with her fancy-pants go-to quote?
McCain's cavalier attitude toward nuclear safety, where he holds in contempt those who raise questions, is nothing new.
Hey! Election Day is exciting, and you might forget things! So when you leave the house to go vote, keep this checklist handy!
Hope, says the dictionary, is about our desires. Faith, on the other hand, is about confidence. I've got tons of the former, and damn near none of the latter. So if Obama offers hope, I'll take what I can get.
I was so close to not voting. I live in New York, it doesn't really matter anyway. But then the guilt built up inside of me. What would I say when my grandchildren asked about this historic election?
We want to assure you that partisan attacks will not interfere with ACORN members' determination to involve low-income, minority, and new American voters across the country.
As Friedman told our audience of liberal Marin County recyclers, the Green Revolution has been no revolution at all. It's been more of a party -- no one is sacrificing.
What's really at stake in Tuesday's election? Many usual suspects are opining in the cable universe, so for a cerebral alternative there's "A Fateful Election" in the Nov. 6 New York Review of Books.
The critical point is that it is easier to scare undecideds than uplift and inspire these same voters. The psychobiological study of fear demonstrates this.
We can already map out the four tectonic shifts rumbling beneath this election. They all began before Obama -- but his cool stride has brought them into history sooner than many of us thought possible.
With Obama, it's not possible to fight the Vietnam war all over again. It's simply not his war.
I want to live in a world in which bankers get rich by pushing every neuron in their brains to find great investments in the real world instead of illusory sure bets in a phony world.
