Tomorrow's election is going to be tough for my Republican friends. I agree with George Will — Barack Obama will receive 378 electoral votes. I also think Democrats will pick up 29 House seats and gain enough Senate seats for a filibuster proof Senate.
Reflecting the diversity and independent mindedness of rural Americans, the polls show conflicting perspectives. An Associated Press-GfK poll conducted in October found that McCain had an 18 point lead over Obama among rural voters. On the other hand, a nonpartisan poll of rural voters in 13 swing states from October 1-21 found a statistical dead heat between McCain and Obama. Commissioned by the Center for Rural Strategies on behalf of the National Rural Assembly, the poll found Obama leading McCain 46 to 45 percent, which is within the poll's 3.38 percent margin of error.
To my Democrat friends, be gracious in victory.
