On Tuesday, I predict that the nation, suffering from George W. Bush fatigue, will reject a third Bush term and vote for a change.
Yes, that's right, Americans will renounce the "failed economic philosophy of the Bush administration" and seize upon the opportunity to reform our government.
Dispatched to that of a footnote in history will be the career politician who spent his time in public office supporting Bush's demand-side, domestic gambits.
Gone will be the candidate who reviewed Bush's half-baked 2002 intervention into public education with his No Child Left Behind federal cookie-cutter and saw only the need for more money to sweeten the federal force-feeding.
Gone will be the candidate who argued that the problem with Bush's 2003 Medicare Part-D prescription drug benefit disaster is that it didn't have enough federal entanglements and that federal price controls were needed to compliment the new entitlement.
Rejected will be the candidate who talks about green energy, but who voted for Bush's pork-laden energy bill that did nothing to move the needle towards energy independence, the one with all those tax breaks for Big Oil.
Cast aside will be the candidate who speaks of the "middle class" but is so tethered to Bush that he voted for the $700 billion bailout of Wall Street vultures and federal dimwits advanced by Bush's economic overlord.
Forget the rhetoric of both Bush and his corporate welfare-big government apostle; neither is who they say they are or who they have been portrayed to be.
Voters have figured out that Bush is no free market conservative and that there is a candidate in this race for President who is not who he claims to be either.
That is why I boldly predict that my fellow Americans in Ohio, Virginia, Colorado and Nevada will vote for change, they will vote for reform and they will make John McCain the 44th President of the United States.
Obama is no agent of change from the last 8 years. Like Bush, Obama is a political alchemist who views the federal government as the sovereign remedy for anything and everything that ails the world.
When it comes to matters economic, Barack Obama is to George W. Bush what V.I. Lenin was to John Maynard Keynes. In other words, Obama is a socialist in a hurry. Same failed philosophy, different pace.
While John McCain has not distinguished himself as a visionary on these matters, his more modest plans are likely to mean less social engineering from the Presidency. That alone would be welcome change.
I think a lot of common-sense, play-by-the-rules Americans have begun to sense this difference as the Presidential campaign drama has moved towards its resolution in the last few weeks. And I believe those Americans will deliver an electoral victory of 275-263 for John McCain.
If I'm wrong, I don't want to be right.
