Thanks to the soothsayers at the New Jersey Pest Management Association, we now know who will be the next president of the United States of America – John McCain.

The Associated Press reports:

This presidential race was no contest: John McCain sped to the finish while Barack Obama was reluctant to leave the starting point…

 

The roach race Thursday was part of the New Jersey Pest Management Association's annual clinic and trade show.

 

Organizers liken the race's prediction success to that of Punxsutawney Phil on Groundhog Day.

For the uninitiated, Punxsutawney Phil is the Pennsylvania groundhog that residents say can predict the earlier arrival of spring based on whether or not he sees his shadow.

As we all know, he is never, ever wrong.

Better start prepping your concession speech, Obama.
