Ok, here’s my prediction of how the election goes on Tuesday:
Kerry 279-259
Factcheck.org has an article on the NRA’s assault (ha!) on Kerry’s gun rights record. One of the things they say is that legislation he supported would have banned some pump action shotguns. This isn’t true; Factcheck lists some shotguns that would have been banned, complete with links to pictures. I like this one:

Completely outrageous. How can we keep this man in the White House?
Last night, Tough Crowd had a discussion about the missing explosives that was more accurate than the discussion on The O’Reilly Factor.
Well, maybe Fox gets an out on the mainstream media label, and The O’Reilly Factor normally only has a slight resemblance with actual events.
Yeah, that’s what Dick Morris just said on O’Reilly. This guy is completely crazy. He also thought the wolves ad was very very powerful. It was really frightening to watch. They discussed the missing weapons story a bit. O’Reilly avoided saying anything completely false, but that didn’t stop any of his guests. Josh Marshall has […]
Eminem goes off on Bush in his new video.
It’s quite embarrassing.
