I am revising my prediction up from Balderson +2 a few weeks ago to O’Connor +1. Balderson is behaving like someone who feels he’s losing.

You think he's holding some internals close to his chest?

Well, both campaigns have internals for sure and he hasn’t released any. Reading on Twitter, reporters are saying he has kept a low profile and is avoiding the media. The event yesterday where he made the comment about Franklin County was actually closed to the media. I don’t know of politicians who run tight races where they keep a low profile who are confident about how they are doing.

For me, this race has looked like an absolute toss-up in the last several days.  So I guess that means I should just pick a candidate to win by less than 1%.  But I'm more bullish than most here on what the early vote will translate to, as well as O'Connor's ability to keep it somewhat competitive on the election day vote.

So I'll go O'Connor +2.4%  

O'Connor  50.5%
Balderson  48.1%
Manchik  1.4%

Over and under on power bottoms turnout? Just kidding.

In all seriousness Balderson not acting like a happy warrior. I also think Green candidate gets a marginal share of the vote. Maybe 0.2%.

I previously said Balderson by 5. I'm going to stick by it even though I am almost certain that I'll be wrong.

I'm going to make a depressing prediction and say Balderson wins, but by a smaller margin than what the Green candidate gets.

Almost...could still happen depending on provisionals.

I at least feel good making the Balderson by 0.5% call.

Balderson by a very slim margin. And then the orange clown will pretend it is his great victory. Hope I'm wrong though.

You weren't wrong.

Sorry LOL
