Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago School economists and fellow travelers.
The race does not always go to the swift. Democracy is really bad at picking good leaders. However, it is better than all the alternatives (including have Madonna pick the next President).
I checked oddscheckers, which reports on London betting oddsmakers.
It’s R&R by 3 to 1. Obama always less among some 19 oddsmakers.

What’s proved depressing to me as R&R momentum has changed (seen either in the last two Rasmussen tracking polls or because of the ex-hurricane Sandy and the Rally Round the Flag effect, ie, the President), I see no way for the Republicans to take over the Senate, needed to reverse ObamaCare fascism.
Therefore I am now a Christian Scientist because ObamaCare’s requirements offend my religious beliefs.
Michael Barone is predicting a narrow R&R victory (about two states) but with decisive Electoral College totals.

Personally, I am seriously considering an interpersonal policy of punching every admitted Obama voter I meet in order to share my rejection of their assault on my natural right to be left alone, free of the fascist assault on my body they’ve inflicted on me. Let them “feel” my pain and experience some of the cost of their evildoing.
In fact, I think this protest “gesture” deserves to be promoted, since no poll has ever a found a majority of US citizen approving of Obamunist Takeover of Health “Care.”
