Election Prediction

Not by me, but by this guy, James Wolcott, who is an actual writer for some magazine or something. Here's his method:

But for shorthand what I did was take the Nickolodeon Poll for kids, which has correctly predicted the last four elections, and work from there.

The bright youngsters who took part in this poll, 400,000 strong, voted Kerry 57, Bush 43.

Since kids are naturally exuberant, until it's beaten out of them by the System, I shaved off two points from Kerry, gave those two to Bush.

Kerry 55, Bush 45, that's my lighter than air prediction.

So what does this mean? Nothing. So what are ya'll gonna be for Halloween? I ain't gotta costume yet.

UPDATE: Those little bastards at Nickolodeon were so wrong!
