HERE WE ARE

Elections historically tighten up at the end. Last exception was Reagan '84 (won every state but Fritz's). This one, though, starting to look like 2000. Remember hanging chads?

If neither Hilly or Donny get 270 electoral college votes, it goes to the House of Reps. Guess who wins there.

Libertarian or Green candidates or the rogue in Utah could tilt some states' results. Look what Nader did to Gore in Florida in 2000.

So far it still looks like Hilly gets 270 or more from the college of honorable electors. But a lot more states in flux than usual. PA could be what turns the election. And Philly transportation workers on strike. But, if you think about it, almost all urban polling places are within walking distance. So ....

The email FBI thingy is now factored in. But who knows if we'll have another swan - black or white - to land on either pond. 

Three straight presidential terms for the same party hasn't happened since Bush '88. But .... Trump has been crass, to give it a nice word. And would disrupt maybe a little too much of what we have going OK.

Economy still growing out of '08 debacle. War on ISIS our only real war and we are fighting it smartly with many allies. Jobs are growing every month. Why not keep it going?

Well, happy trailers, pards. Onward and upward. Vaya con Dios hombres and hombrettes. Godspeed.

PS: Many Christians didn't vote for Romney because he is Mormon. Trump may get those Christians.
