It seems that New York is going to be a pretty wild place to be this week. Protesters are already causing a ruckus, wanting to demonstrate, protest, and otherwise disrupt the Republican convention. As I remember, the republicans generally left the Democratic convention alone, respecting their right to choose and rally behind their candidate. Not so the other way around.
I predict that President Bush will win the election with a narrow but comfortable margin. I think that many democrats actually believe that too, and so they are resorting to name-calling, grand-standing, and hate-mongering to try to work the public and the press in to a tizzy. It's not going to work.
