I hope you are right in your predictions, if you are it will save me from taking out citizenship in the country where I now live in Europe as a permanent resident.

I live in Indiana and am very happy we went blue this year! I like your prediction though, it is exactly what I was predicting before I was so happily proved wrong.
Also, I wish you had been right on prop 8 in California. That decision was particularly sucky.
Good guessing though!
