Devoted to political news and analysis, with a focus on election predictions and commentary. Began as an electoral vote prediction blog for the 2008 election, exactly projecting the popular vote percentages. Since then, I have assembled one of the best track records in predicting elections of all kinds that you will find on the web.

Exceptional Concession Speech by McCain
Senator McCain was moving, sincere and struck exactly the right tone of unity. It occurred to me as I watched his supporters boo at all the times when he meant for them to applaud -- this is a man who is better than his base. That may have been his problem all along -- he lost ground when he departed from his "maverick" principles and did what he thought the base wanted. That plus an incumbent Republican president with a 19% approval rating.
