[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1045690, member: 2189"] The Bickers and Berry electoral model has been 100% accurate the last 30 years but both men admit there are factors they don't measure which could swing a vote counter to their modeling prediction. I'm watching gas prices drop like a rock where I live and where the price per gallon has dropped 20 cents or more in a matter of a couple of weeks. This trend appears it will continue for the next 10 days too. If on election day the voter is paying 40 or 50 cents less per gallon than a month or 2 ago, how that economic reality effects the independent voter could be the deciding factor either way. Even on the local news I heard on the radio that Christmas hiring is up and many companies expect to keep a lot of seasonal hires on after the holiday season in full time employment. Voters can be funny and can turn on a dime. Next 10 days are going to be fun to watch, no doubt about it. [/QUOTE]
