Big & Bold Predictions

During election night, as I was writing a post here around 8:15 pm, I heard a tone indicating I had received an email. I quickly took a look.

What I received was a headline from a news organization. I must say I was taken aback by the derring-do of the prognostication it was announcing: "Barack Obama Projected to Win Vermont."

Let me just say that I am sure TV and other media outlets feel good about spending big money on pollsters and professional prognosticators. But let me save them all a few dollars:

Barack Obama Projected to Win Vermont in 2012; also Massachusetts, Minnesota, Illinois, New York, Connecticut, California, Wisconsin, and Hawaii

also

Vermont & Massachusetts Sign New Charter: In Perpetuity, All Electoral College Delegates Immediately Belong To Democratic Nominee...No Matter What

There. Save some money. Thank me in four years.
