Agree. My understanding is the author has NEVER called an election wrong. If that is true, I would say he is a better barometer than the polls and the arm chair pundits.
I too would like to be optimistic, however, one thing this guy might not have taken completely into account is the changing demographics of our country.
No sizable minority group votes Republican. Those groups are much larger now than when this guy began his career. The impact could be tremendous.
Nonetheless, I will be out early to vote with my two daughters who are first time Presidential voters.
Three more for McCain - two from the under 25 crowd.
