As I said months ago…

With Bush’s win last night I won one steak dinner bet that Bush would beat Kerry and I will have to wait until the end of the month for the absolute final numbers from the States to see if Bush can move his popular total (meaningless) of the vote above 52% (I favor the EV system for the same reason I would not call for a change in the Senate rules on the 60 vote filibuster rule) to see if another steak dinner bet will pay off.
Last numbers I saw this morning were
58,787,327  51.56%

55,225,764  48.43%

But as always we will have underestimated him and he will beat our french-looking candidate with a much bigger than expected margin. You read it here first.
