The Crystal Ball Still Works

In late January, I decided that Senator Barack Obama was the best candidate to become the 44th President of the United States. As a Republican who had ran for Congress and served in the Bush Administration, I took a lot of heat for going public with my endorsement. Today, November 5th, I want to take the opportunity to make three observations:

1) Although we still have gender and racial issues in this country, the United States of America is the first western democracy to elect a person of color as their Chief Executive. God Bless the United States of America.

2) I am so honored to have had the chance to defend and support President-elect Barack Obama during the past 10 months, even taking on Fox News TV / Radio and Laura Ingraham.

3) My crystal ball still works. On October 31st, I revised my Electoral Vote estimate to 348 for Obama and 190 for McCain. According to Real Clear Politics, I am one Electoral Vote off of my estimate. Not too shabby.
