I look on this election as a barometer of the collective stupidity of the US nation.

As compared to that of the Brit nation, which is apparently so liquored up and busy buggering sheep, goats, pigs, and each other, in that order of desireability, that you can't do anything about your dysfunctional system which assures the only PM you can produce is one eager to yap twice and hop into the lap of the US President? Obviously the best part of your national gene pool sailed for the colonies a few centuries ago.

House: 205 R

Governors: 23 R

He's in Wales. Doesn't that explain it all? Their biggest contributions are a sweater and Tom Jones.

Wait, you've seen Bush and Blair next to each other and you still claim you can pick a leader better? As many US journalists have said, Tony Blair's sole role in the special relationship is to make Bush look even dumber. His speech to Congress did kind of show the difference between the two quite well.

Not that I'm defending Mobius at all, but when it comes to leaders, I know which one I'd rather have.

civman2000, Oerdin and The Emperor Fabulous have not made unambiguous or complete predictions at this point and will not be included in the comparison.

[Sir Og]

If it is not too late I will go with a completly uninformed guess just for fun

212 - 52 - 23

[Winston]

You're in.

And I think most of our guesses will turn out to have been uninformed.

[mrmitchell]

Not exactly related but the morons on the news are calling Asa and Beebe a "neck and neck" race when the polls are Beebe 51% to Asa 42%. When he was under by more than 20 points a couple weeks ago, the Repugs realized how badly they needed to at least make it look close, so they got Mike Huckabee to publicly endorse him on commercials (there goes my support for him in 08) and they flew Bush in to Little Rock.

Personally, I have not met a single soul, liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, young or old, foolish enough to support Asa. Everyone agrees he's just a nut.

But hey the news ratings are higher if they hawk it as a "close race"...

[SlowwHand]

Based on latest predictions it looks like Drouge, Johnny and Eli are in the Ball park.

I have been the victim of an MtG 'precision guided strike'...

Trying to insult me by insulting my entire nation, talk about collateral damage - or is this friendly fire? You tell me, seeing as you're the expert...

[MOBIUS]

As for the 'barometer of the collective stupidity of the US nation' remark, seems they weren't so stupid after all...

[Krill]

Given a gun with one bullet, and Bush, Blair and myself in a room, and I was told I was allowed to kill either leader, I'd shoot myself.
