Another week, another (FILL IN YOUR CURRENCY HERE)

I voted.

I reveal nothing about how I voted save one thing - I am ALL about leaving the phrase "idiots and insane people" in the state constitution.

I'm guessing Obama wins about 350 EV. The Senate is going to end up 58 or 59 for the Dems (my wiggle room being whether or not Ol' Joementum ends up caucusing with the Democrats) and the House will be a pickup of 20-25 seats for the Democrats.

They'd better do something with it, or 2 years from now we'll be discussing record gains for the Republicans - assuming they aren't still at war with themselves come 2010. The struggle between the moderate and conservative wings could get real ugly depending on the breaks.

On to more pressing issues - this week's RHS FBS Poll...

1. Alabama (9-0, 2)
2. Texas Tech (9-0, 3)
3. Utah (9-0, 6)
4. Penn State (9-0, 4)
5. Texas (8-1, 1)
6. Boise State (8-0, 5)
7. Florida (7-1, 9)
8. Oklahoma (8-1, 8)
9. Ball State (8-0, 10)
10. Oklahoma State (8-1, 13)
11. TCU (9-1, 15)
12. USC (7-1, t13)
13. Georgia (7-2, 7)
14. Ohio State (7-2, 16)
15. BYU (8-1, 18)
16. Michigan State (8-2, 19)
17. Missouri (7-2, 21)
18. North Carolina (6-2, 20)
19. Tulsa (8-1, 11)
20. Central Michigan (7-2, 23)
21. Cal (6-2, NR)
22. Northwestern (7-2, 25)
23. Pitt (6-2, NR)
24. Georgia Tech (7-2, 24)
25. Minnesota (7-2, 12)

Dropped out - Florida State (6-2, 17), Connecticut (6-3, 22)

Other teams of note...
46. Nebraska (5-4, 34)
56. Iowa (5-4, 50)
85. UTEP (3-5, 74)
111. Iowa State (2-7, t106)
120. Washington (0-8, 119)

That's right. North Texas went R. Lee Ermey on Western Kentucky and miracled their ass to a win, leaving the poor Washington Huskies at #120. North Texas jumped all the way to #119 with their win.

The Apple Cup (#120 Washington vs #116 Washington State) is shaping up to be one of the great pillow fights of all time - what drama!

I think it's more about whether the Democrats will caucus with "Ol' Joementum" rather than the other way around.

I was trying to be nice.

Plus I can't resist the chance to use the word "Joementum."
