Schlesinger Makes His Presidential Election Picks Between Barack Obama and John McCain
As my Thomas Jefferson Street colleague Morgan Felchner suggested, I'll go ahead and weigh in with my Are You Smarter Than the Pros picks (though to be clear: I consider myself neither smart nor a pro). Anyway, I'm going with Obama 51, McCain 48, Other 1; Obama 306 electoral votes to McCain's 232. All right, go ahead and let me know below why I'm wrong (and not a pro, and not smart). And don't forget to try the game yourself.

My Vote
I'm going with 286 Mccain 252 Obama.
Obama Presidency
As it stands now, it looks like Obama, but not by much. I agree that we will probably have a conservative Republican President in 2012 in the event of an Obama win. Obama presents a good front, as long as he has cue cards in place, but has no substance. The problem will be that we will be four years behind, as far as the economy goes, and terrorism will gain big ground in those years. It may be that no one will have to worry about who wins in 2012. In any case, I for one will retire early rather than pay more taxes to an Obama government, and take my turn grabbing for all the government handouts. Why should anyone work, just to pay taxes for all the losers who won't work? I have had my fill of that and don't intend to do any more of it.
