Haha, it's cool. It actually wasn't that bad. My wife mixed it with a bunch of hot peppers, onions, garlic, and some other vegetables, then sauteed it in a shit ton of soy sauce. Would have been better with chicken, but it what can I say? I liked it. |

I'm going to have to disagree. If John Wayne had eaten tofu, then he wouldn't have been John Wayne....he would have been some treehugger dressed up in cowboy clothes. Convictions don't make the man. The lack of eating tofu does. Tofu is the Kelvin Sampson of the food world. |

What are these veggie-ta-bles that you speak of? I may be liberal, but not that liberal. Oh wait.....aren't veggie-ta-bles the things that meat eats? I choose to get my veggies by eating meat that ate them. |

Yeah, saw your change of Iowa to McCain. Funny stuff. BTW, Montana poses a new problem for McCain....Ron Paul is on the ballot there. Rasmussen had McCain 50%, Obama 46 %, and Paul at 2%. However, 6% of those the McCain voters polled indicated that they may switch to Paul. |

Ok, here are my official picks. I have been saying for the last 6 months that Obama was going to win in a close one, so I am going play it cautious and stick with that in my picks, though I think it is more likey that Obama would win in a landslide that McCain would win outright. Colorado (9): Obama Florida (27): McCain Indiana (11): McCain Iowa (7): Obama Missouri (11): McCain Nevada (5): Obama New Hampshire (4): Obama New Mexico (5): Obama North Carolina (15): McCain Ohio (20): McCain Pennsylvania (21): Obama Virginia (13): McCain TOTAL DELEGATE COUNT: McCain 260 Obama 278 PREDICTED POPULAR VOTE, TO NEAREST % (as listed at 5 pm, Nov 5th): McCain 47 Obama 51 WILDCARD STATE: in this category you will list a state that you feel a candidate could possibly take from their opponents column of non-swing states; if none are taken, the winning wildcard state will be the one in which percentage wise the candidate came closest to taking. McCain: I don't think McCain will take any states that Obama should win, but if I have to pick 1 I guess i would say Penn for a few reasons. #1 small Bradley effect, #2 Obama's "cling" gaffe, #3 McCain and Palin have spent a whole lot of time and money in the state here recently. Obama: There are several that are on the Obama map, but I am going to go with one I said early on might surprise some people. Georgia. For a couple reasons. First, the pendulum seems to be swinging towards the Dems here. They won a seat here in a run off, and the senate race here is competitve and the momentum in that race seems to be swing toward the Dem. Second, blacks have turned out in record numbers here during the early voting period, and I see no reason why that would change. If Obama can turn the youth vote out here too, he could pull it out.

Hogville? Is this like your 'real' picks that you keep at home correctly predicting the final four. Or is this the one you turn into your office pool in hopes of correctly picking a few upsets that no one else will, thereby winning the office pool? |

If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed Meat is Murder. Sweet, delicious murder. | |

Hog check your math If McCain wins all the states you said he wins Did you miss label one. You gave McCain Penn, NC, MO, IN, OH FLA and VA if he wins all of those he can lose Co, NM and Nev Iowa and New Hampshire are you giving Obama Georgia in your projections |

Good catch BG. I meant to give Obama Penn. I have edited my post accordingly. It should add up now. I am not predicting Obama to win georgia that is in my wild card section. Edited by hoosierinhogville, Nov 3 2008, 12:12 PM.

Are you reffering to the Penn thing? That was a typo. I redid it. I have Obama winning 278-260. Or are you refferring to how close I have it? Like I said at the top of my picks, it could turn into a blow out for Obama. I think that is a more likely scenario than McCain winning. That being said, I think this country is fundamentally a centrist country. We aren't 55-45, we are 51-49. That is why the polls always tighten up, and that is why there isn't often a landslide nowdays, and that is why I am picking Obama in a close one. That, and I like to stay consistant. And I only fill out one NCAA pool every year. I would rather be wrong once than wrong a half a dozen times. Edited by hoosierinhogville, Nov 3 2008, 12:26 PM.

![]() The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism. | |
