Will Barack Obama or John McCain Win? Predict the Presidential Election Winner

October 29, 2008 03:39 PM ET | Morgan E. Felchner | Permanent Link | Print

I fancy myself somewhat of an expert on elections, but you'll never catch me calling an election well before voters go to the polls. But now, with less than a week left, even I might start making predictions. It's time for the pros, and the amateur prognosticators, to make their picks. That's why we've launched Are You Smarter Than the Pros?so that you can call the races and show us up. (Rumor has it my Thomas Jefferson Street colleague Robert Schlesinger will actually post his picks so you can tell him he's wrong.)

So, who will win the presidential election? Tell us at usnews.com/electionpicks and in the comment section below.
