WaPo electoral contest

<p><strong>><a href='http://projects.washingtonpost.com/2008/pick-your-president/'>2008 Election Contest: Pick Your President</a></strong> - Predict the winner of the 2008 presidential election and enter to win a $500 prize.</p>

Here's my prediction I entered in the Washington Post "Pick Your President" contest. I'm actually less optimistic than this, but I figured if the unexpected happens I have a better chance of winning.

The entry form lets you provide an explanation with your picks...here's what I said:

Obama picks up a couple of states over Kerry's take from 2004. Marginal states that could have gone his way don't because of blowback from the still-developing ACORN scandal.

Who knows?
