Ha! Offbeat Predictions

Here are some thoughts from a friend who sent me his predictions via email. I told him they were too good not to be published somewhere. LOL funny in spots. Enjoy.

OK, here are my predictions in the leading elections, including what might result from today’s events. Enjoy.

Dems take the house by fewer than five seats. However, due to various challenges and legal wrangling, the final results are not fully known until the week before Christmas. The Foley seat is retained by the Republicans as is DeLay’s, but the Dems challenge the write-in results in Texas and the whole thing goes to Federal Court in Houston.

In the Delay district election, Dems claim that write-in ballots for Shelly Sekula-Gibs (ie Shelley Sekula-Gibbs) do not display adequate “voter intent” and should be thrown out. Republicans claim that Democrats’ refusal to allow her name to be placed on the ballot (even though there were four months to do so), refusal to allow proper write-in instructions to appear on the ballot, refusal to allow instructions on how to write-in a candidate in the voting booth, refusal to allow simplified methods for typing of her name, and intimidation of volunteers attempting to help voters with the spelling of her name constitutes Republican voter “disenfangisement”.
