RE: WTF is this guy smoking? Just because the MSM doesn’t report it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

A little background on the one doing the predicting...

On September 28, 2005, Alan Lichtman formally announced his candidacy for the United States Senate from Maryland. He ran as a progressive, opposing the War in Iraq and calling for an immediate and safe withdrawal of U.S. troops.

Lichtman used innovative approaches to reach voters and supporters during the campaign including MySpace and a web ad where he jumped in a lake. When he and other candidates were not invited by the League of Women Voters to a debate, Lichtman went to the Maryland Public Television studio and protested; he, his wife, and campaign volunteer Gail Dobson were arrested. On October 19, 2006, the three were found Not Guilty on all charges.

Lichtman lost in the primary to Ben Cardin. According to the final tally, he received 6,919, or 1.2% of the vote, landing him in 6th place in a field of 18.

HE COULDN’T EVEN PREDICT HIS OWN DEFEAT.

This. A million times this! As a Marylander I know the landscape here - if he's that far to the left of Ben Cardin (for crying out loud) then he is CRAZY left wing. Crazy. Of COURSE he's trying to launch a disinformation campaign to try to get the Marxist Obama re-elected. Of COURSE.
