Well, folks, Wisconsin's two and a half year-long election cycle nightmare is almost over. Here are The Chief's Official Entirely Unscientific and Otherwise Useless Election 2012® predictions:

• Obama wins the national popular vote: 51.5-48.5%

• Obama wins the electoral college: 303-235

Obama losses the swing states of North Carolina and Florida; but wins Virginia, New Hampshire, Ohio, Iowa, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada and ...

• Obama wins Wisconsin: 52-48%

• Tammy Baldwin is your next Senator from Wisconsin: 50.5-49.5%

We'll provide a quick round-up of preliminary thoughts and some of the things we'll be discussing in the weeks ahead on either Tuesday night or, more likely, Wednesday morning. Feel free to make any suggestions in the comments sections. We'll see what we can do.
