Here's my predictions for Tuesday's election. Now share yours
The obvious drawback to offering predictions about Tuesday's election is that you might be wrong about key races and thus dent whatever reputation you have for political insight.

If this health plan is 'socialism,' we need more of it

America's just not that into Obama
"You know, I actually believe my own bull----." That's what President Obama once told a reporter. If the man ever uttered a statement that spoke more to his approach to politics, I haven't heard it. Whether it stems from a grandiose overconfidence...
