Another prediction:
ElectionProjection.com has a slightly different take on the results of the election. Their prediction: Bush 289, Kerry 249.
Electoral-Vote.com's projection stays (so far) where it was yesterday: Kerry 298, Bush 231.
And, veteran newspaperman Jimmy Breslin, in Newsday, says his prediction made last May will stand: it's Kerry by a landslide. Just one reason he's so sure:
Oh, but these young people never vote, the tales read. They will this time, and because of a one-word issue.
Draft.
(Added later:) And another prediction, from Editor & Publisher magazine: based on newspapers' endorsements for president, E&P predicts Kerry 286 electoral votes to Bush 252. (Thanks to alert reader Michael Winograd.) posted by liz at 9:26 AM
