No matter who comes out on top after the election is all over, we know who the real winner of Insanity 2004 is: the bloggers. And given that most blogs are the bastard progeny of political punditry and partisan hysteria, we figured, who better to predict the outcome of it all? So we searched around and found the predictions of a few blogger elite who were brave enough to put their money where their mouths are.

>> Andrew Sullivan: I’ve been asked to make a prediction. It’s so close you’d be a fool to do so now. So I’ll stick with my hunch back last March and say Kerry is going to win. I say that simply because Bush’s record is too poor to merit re-election. And I trust the American people to realize that. As soon as Kerry proved he was a viable alternative in the debates, he won.

>> Matthew Yglesias (left): Based on my analysis of the nationwide tracking polls it’s clear to me that either John Kerry or George Bush is going to win this election. Badnarik fans, Nader fans, sorry, but this just isn’t your day. Maybe next time….
