Winners and Losers 2010

No need to vote today, the results are already in!

Just thank North Carolina's new "self" voting machines, they are so easy to operate even a cave man can do it.

No lie Kidos, the government knows best and now these high-tech machines vote for you.

We've looked at the tea leaves, studied the Ouija board, ran the numbers through our analytical quantum qualitative process, tossed out the high and low averages and double checked the trend lines.

So lets run through our winners and how we got there.
