Well folks, almost since the genesis of Steakmatters, we've been talking about this day, November 4, 2008. Today is the day we elect the 44th President of the United States. Will we know the winner by the end of the day? Who knows.
Like I said in my post yesterday--look for early results on Indiana to be an indicator. If Obama wins, or if McCain barely wins Indiana, he could be in for a long night.
The presidential race isn't the only thing at steak today. Also at steak are the majorities in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate. Mind you, the question is not IF the Dems will maintain control of these bodies, but by how many seats. It's widely believed that the Senate will fall just short of the fillibuster-proof 60 seats they need. It's also widely believed that Pelosi and her thugs will increase the Dem majority in the House. At the end of the day, we could have our own version of the axis of evil in Pelosi, Reed and Obama.
In addition to federal races, control of the Ohio House of Representatives is up for grabs.
In what may or may not be an omen of things to come, Obama has already been declared the winner of a precinct in New Hampshire, Dixville Notch. The tally was Obama 15 McCain 6. It's the first time the D.N. has gone Democrat since 1968 (Hubert Humphrey).
More to come...
