Week 6-Election Post

• This will be my final Election Post... as we are in the final few days of the election! So as this is the final post I will giving some final ideas and predictions of who the winner of this election will actually be. So for the presidential race I cuurently believe the winner, after Election Day November 4th, 2008, to be... Barack Obama. Okay there's really no need to doubt my support of Barack Obama this late in the game as I have constantly said that I support, even going and supporting his campaigning effort at my local election station. However, my prediction goes beyond mere support, it actually goes to the national polls, the current economic situation on the personal level, and it also goes to the opponent John McCain's tactics. Senator Barack Obama has done a masterful job of showing just how much change he can bring to the president. Yes, that disgustingly overused word "change." But, as most Obama supporters will say, I truly believe he will be the man to bring the change to the White House. Recent polls are showing that Obama has an 11-point lead over McCain(Gallup.com) and results are showing that Obama has a lead on the early vote count. Now we are a couple of days away from the election so there is no doubt in my mind that Obama will win. It'll be close but Obama's got this one.
  
• As for the other current offices up for election I will also try to predict the winners. In the Senate election there is absolutely no contest in that Warner will absolutely crush Gilmore with at least a 20 % lead. Current polls are showing around a 30% lead for Warner so I trust he'll win it easily(RasmussenReports.com). And in the 10th and 11th District House Races, I believe that the Democrats have a distinct advantage in that both of these districts are slowly turning Democratic as more and more liberals and minorities are moving in. I have not heard much from either of these races' candidates but I would like to say that I personally believe the Republican Frank Wolf to beat Democrat Judy Feder in the 10th, but I would say Democrat Gerry Connolly will triumph over Republican Keith Fimian for the 11th this election. Wolf's win will probably be due to his familiarity with the people and for his more organized appearance to me over Judy Feder's somewhat missing publicity. However the increasing Democratic population will most likely change at least one seat, which I believe will mean a win for Connolly.
