Presidential Election 2012 Predictions
The Buzz Bissinger Show, with Steve Martorano spent the past couple of days polling the most intelligent political minds locally and nationally to see where they thought the Presidential Election might land on Wednesday morning. We asked them to put their affiliations and ideologies aside, and to give us an honest, intelligent answer - or just guess - but at least make it a smart, educated guess. What we ended up with was a cross-section of great political minds that ran the gamut of answer that impressed and depressed us.
