Re: OK, Here's My Election Prediction. What's Yours?
My path without Ohio or Pennsylvania (which still could drop for Romney).
To visit Ohio is to visit a 1940-50s union culture that generates squads of This-Land-Is-Their-Land Obama picketers who line up at Arlo Guthrie concerts especially when it's rumored that Joan Baez will guest. Time has forgotten Ohio just as surely as the rest of us have forgotten what a buckeye is.
It's ironic though that hip-land denizens of Hollywood and Manhattan are now taking a last stand in Columbus, Toledo, and Akron. Last we heard of any of them on network TV was WKRP - pictured as a grimy place you went when you were kicked out of everywhere else. Some praise from the media-mavens who now find their dreams in the hands of Cincinnati voters eh?
As for New Hampshire: It's now been annexed by too many Massachusetts ex-pats who've fled the Bay State's taxes yet seek to recreate the same utopian nests their consciences assembled back in the old-country. Much like Arizona immigrants who fled pollen-produced breathing problems only to import their trees/grass/shrubs right along with them. Sigh....
