Excerpt:

For more than 230 years we have called ourselves the United States of America, but we are fast becoming the Divided States of America. In this incredibly tight election, there are a few things we know. Whatever the results are, they will show an incredibly polarized electorate. Nearly 95 percent of the partisan bases of each party will vote for their candidate. And because the election will be extremely close, the victor likely will have little mandate to govern and little cooperation from the opposite party in Congress. In addition to the partisan divide that exists in this country, there also has developed an unfortunate divide at other levels. The election results will further highlight this problem. The race divide is well documented and has increased.   Blacks and Latinos will give near-universal support to President Obama, while a majority of white voters will go for Mitt Romney.
