Pop and soda counties will vote Obama. Coke counties will vote McCain. Obama wins a plurality of counties. Obama wins. In terms of blog predictions my record has been 100 percent so far. (Click the map to enlarge it. ) ... Now if you believe in The Jinx (as all right minded people should) let me also predict that I am going to get selected to play left wing for Northern Ireland and I will score in every game all the way through and including the 2010 World Cup Final which Northern Ireland will win beating Brazil 5:4, having been down 4:0 at half time. Fortuna/The Jinx/Hubris should go for the more outrageous of these two predictions (although you cant tell the Jinx what to do)....
Thursday Update.
Ok apart from Montana and the Dakotas I was right! Check out the latest maps on Cnn.com
...Thursday afternoon update: Check out this map below. These are the counties where the Republican candidate did better in 2008 than in 2004, not many of them and yes they're all "coke" counties.

THANK YOU FOR VOTING
So I dont know what these people are talking about
Well, I am glad that if it all goes badly south, at least we will know which person to blame. Nice try with this "mail ballots" website, which I have never heard of, but a video is always so much more convincing...
v word, 'yingic'. If it's not a word, it should be. I'm pretty sure that here in Santa Cruz, we use yingic remedies all the time.

I know that it shouldnt exactly be easy to send your ballot from Melbourne, Australia, but my god they didnt have to make a triathalon. A trip to the Consulate, a mail in form, a postal vote (which somehow got lost in Colorado) another form which I had to scan in and email directly (as a scan not an attachment) and finally a curt email acknowledgement. Still I'm proud of myself - the last time I actually voted was 2001 when I was still registered to vote in North Oxford!
Congratulations on your persistence--sincerely.
Your strategy against Jinx is very similar to what we in Italy call Scaramanzia.
Hope you already started to train...ahem hope all goes well with the Election
Ciao,

Good to hear about Scaramanzia. Of course you Italians invented the whispering slave at a Triumph, which has always seemed like a good idea to me.
I'm a useful little player and I wont botch the penalties I promise you that. Side foot, right or left corner, no messing around.

Still in post-electoral celebrations hangover?
Did really the pop/soda counties vote for Obama and the coke counties vote for McCain?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Btw,after a few unispiring v-words this one,phallos,seems a return to glories past- even though it would probably have been more appropriate for the post on Parson's Pleasure.

What a day for America! Its morning here and I'm hungover and my mouth reeks of Cuban cigars (one of the advantages of living in Oz). But Hell Yeah, I was right. Apart from the Dakotas and Montana and Idaho. Thats how he did it Soda and Pop united.
