Theres the Doonesbury strip for publication after the election - Doonesbury (Garry Trudeau, that is) has called the US presidential elections already. Some newspapers are reluctant to take a chance and schedule the strip, in case its prediction is wrong. Here’s how Trudeau supposedly responded:
Newspapers should run the strip because “Nate Silver at Fivethirtyeight.com is now giving McCain a 3.7% chance of winning -- pretty comfortable odds. ... Here's the way I look at it: If Obama wins, I'm in the flow and commenting on a phenomenon. If he loses, it'll be a massive upset, and the goofy misprediction of a comic strip will be pretty much lost in the uproar. I figure I can survive a little egg on my face. There’s a greater risk that their presses will break down on election day. So I’ve been encouraging editors to choose hope over fear. And reminding them that if I’m wrong, it’ll be my face that’ll be covered with egg, not theirs.”

>> Heres " India's all important Obama Endorsement "
>> A photo of the incumbent first family. Its kind of powerful, this image - an all black First family of the US of A. Its probably as big a historical milestone as the bringing down of the berlin wall or September 11.
Gd luck obama!
