Like so many others I have become a slave to the IKEA nesting instinct. I ask myself, what kind of dining set defines me as a person?

TOMS shoes...

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:38:00 -0500

I got these new shoes like a week and a half ago. They are very comfortable. The reson I felt the need to share about my new shoes is because the company has a great social justice business model. Stamped into the bottom of each shoes explains thier model, “For every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair to a child in need.” To date, TOMS shoes has given away 85,000 shoes to children in need.

I do, however, recomend buying a them a half of size big. I had to return my first pair because they were too small in my normal size.

Here is an article about the company.

2008 election predictions...

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:43:00 -0500

With only 8 days to go in the 2008 elections, I figured I would lay out some predictions.

White House: Obama (346-192)

The national polls have McCain down by 7.5 points which actually disguises how bad of shape he really is in. When you break it down, read the polls, and do electoral math, McCain only has 127 solid electoral votes and 30 leaning his way. Which means that McCain would have to pick up all of those votes, all of the 75 swing electoral votes, and then successfully steal 38 electoral votes currently leaning Obama. Not very plausible.

Senate: Democrats pick up 7 seats. (56-42-2)

It looks like it may be fairly safe to assume that the Democrats are going to pick up seats in Virginia, Alaska (sorry, Ted), Colorado, and New Mexico. All previously held Republicans seats. They also will probably pick up about half of the half dozen toss-up seats; Georgia, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Oregon.

House: Democrats pick up 18 seats. (249-185-1)

I guess nobody likes going from the majority party to the minority, droves of Republicans decided to vacate their seats following the 2006 power shift. Twenty-three Republicans decided not to run for re-elections in this elections compared with only 3 Democrats. This Republican retreat has led to more vulnerable seats in districts that shouldn’t be.

For the past few months, I have been watching Kathy Dahlkemper (PA-3), a pro-life Democrat, who has pulled ahead of 7-term Republican incumbent Phil English in recent polls. I have been interested in her candidacy for several reasons; she’s a mother and business-woman turned political newcomer with similar political views as myself and has run very successful campaign against an incumbent who had never seen a difficult re-election.

I’m keeping my eyes peeled.

More than likely this election will be the largest Democratic tilt in power since the 1964 election when LBJ won with 61% of the vote and the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress, 68-32 in the Senate and 295-140 in the House.

Comments welcomed.
