2012 Electoral College Predictions

[remirol]

I shortarmed it

 

[EventHorizon]

Looks like someone toward the top of the list is winning this one. It wasn't as close as most of us thought.

 

[Meadmaker]

Should I predict with my head, or my heart?

I will give up on both organs, and go with my gut.

Romney 287
Obama 251

It appears that Barack Obama and I both get to keep our day jobs.


Congratulations, Mr. Obama. Glad to be wrong this time.



Now......about that fiscal cliff......

That was the map I made. 327-211. With one Nebraska vote because I was bored. I thought I was being overenthusiastic with it... but it looks like he'll beat that by 5.

 

[NotJesus]

It looks like Florida will go for Obama, so...

Congrats to Puppycow!

 

[Puppycow]

Thanks!

(Assuming the lead holds up. CNN wasn't ready to call FL yet last time I checked.)

Looks like I was a little too optimistic on the pop. vote, so I'm glad it didn't come down to a tiebreaker.

 

[Tricky]

Dammit! Who sneaked in and reskewed the polls!

 

[remirol]

"Polls appear to be slightly skewed towards Mr. Romney, as it turns out."

 

[Baylor]
