Post Your Predictions

Ozymandias was an 1818 poem drawing on the theme of collapse following greatness. It's strange that this was written centuries ago yet seems like an ominous warning for today.

Percy Shelley's "Ozymandias"

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Don't get all poetic on us now, Rhett! For that matter, when did you start reading poetry, or even reading?
 
Latest Swing State Polls


Florida - Rasmussen says Trump +4, two others say Biden +2. I think Trump will carry Florida. Hoping the Cubans will make the difference.
Pennsylvania - Latest one show Trump +2. I think Trump will carry this one. He's campaigning hard there today.
Wisconsin - Two polls a day apart; one showing a tie and the other Biden +5. I think Trump's chances here are good, but leaving a toss-up for now.
North Carolina - Two recent polls; Rasmussen has Trump +4, someone I don't recognize has Biden +3. I think Trump will take NC
Michigan - Latest poll has Biden +12. This one isn't looking good for Trump
Ohio - Trump +3. I think he will win this one
Minnesota - Last poll is about two weeks old and shows Biden +6. I suspect this one could go either way
Iowa - Trump +2. I think Trump will carry this one
Arizona - Two recent polls" one says Biden +1, the other Trump +1. I feel like Trump will carry this one
Nevada - Last poll I see was two weeks ago and had Biden +2. I think Trump will carry this one
Texas - Trump +4. I give this one to Trump
Georgia - Tie! I'm pretty confident that Trump will carry it
Virginia - Biden +15. Biden will likely win this one. What's wrong with those people?
New Hampshire - Biden +12. I give it to Biden
Maine - Biden +10. Trump has a chance here, but I'm not hopeful
Colorado - Biden +9. Biden will likely win
New Mexico - Biden +15. I call it for Biden

Drum roll - If Trump wins all the states I think he will carry, he wins with 284 electoral votes. Wisconsin and Minnesota not included in that, so if he wins either of those it would be bonus points.

So there is a clear pathway to win, but very little margin of error. If the polls really as wrong as some think, then we could see that landslide win. But no one on this Earth knows yet.

I think Biden gets Wisconsin and PA which makes it anybody's race.
 
I'm still sticking with my prediction of 330 (at a minimum) for Trump. Hopefully he wins enough on election night to avoid any potential shenanigans that go on with vote counting the following few days.

It's certainly possible if the polling offset is as much as some think. The optimist in me wants to think that will be so.
 
This is an interesting article. Apparently a lot of people who voted early are now wanting to see if they can change their vote. This is a huge reason that voting should not occur before the first debate.

I agree it's a big problem. Early voting should not be this early.
 
Yesterday's poll for Pennsylvania showed a tie, today has Trump 2 points up.

Biden's remarks in the last debate might have cost him the election.

This looting will push even more voters towards TRUMP!
 
nothing will surprise me

Biden Win
Trump Win

Dunno

like I said before, in 2016 I didn't see many Hillary yard signs here..... this year Harris / Biden signs are everywhere.
 
Bad news folks. Biden is going to win Georgia. He's in Warm Springs today and look at the enthusiasm of all those supporters.

Huge crowd wasn't it? Biden teams says Georgia rally was largest since returning to campaign trail. They're referring to the one he had in Atlanta where an estimated 200 cars with an estimated 870 people showed up. The clip below is the Atlanta rally. It was pretty short. At about the 34 minute mark you see the "crowd." Just as he finished his speech you hear someone honking their horn. You would think with 200 cars there, 200 horns would be honking at the end. I'll be surprised if he wins Georgia, as there wasn't any excitement there.
