Who do believe will win the 2010 Presidential Election?

Deb Witherspoon, senior- "The numbers are looking really close, but I hope Obama wins."

Paul Tran, senior - "I think Obama will win."

Ajai Thiara, senior -" It's a tough question. I don't know who will win because the swing state are undecided."

Elizabeth Miljas, Spanish teacher -" I think Romney is going to get it, even though I want Obama to win. I just think a lot of people aren't satisfied with what Obama did, even though he inherited a lot of problems in the presidency."

As a novelist, I am used to having complete control over the world on my computer screen. Life, death, sin, redemption: My characters' lives are in my hands. But last week, I got yet another reminder of my utter powerlessness once the book leaves home. Amazon.com took away my "buy" button.

I'm not the only author I know who obsessively checks her Amazon rankings. It's not that I have any real idea what they mean: how they translate into how many books have sold or what kind of royalties I can expect. Nevertheless, I compare my numbers with those of my friends and enemies, charting the ups and downs and drinking accordingly.
