Electoral-vote.com predicts Kerry win: K-311, B-227
http://www.electoral-vote.com/pred/

This predictive map was made using the following assumptions.

- Voters who already have made a choice will stick to it
- The undecideds will break 2:1 for the challenger (Kerry)
- If Nader is on the ballot, he will get 1%; otherwise 0% (was 2.74% nationally in 2000)
- The minor candidates such as Badnarik, Cobb, etc. will get 1% of the vote (was 1.01% in 2000)

3. predictions
as we are throwing up numbers randomly, I'll say Kerry 320

I think *Bush will steal Wisconsin but lose Arizona and Tennesee.

4. Subtract Florida
That's what I so when I look at these things. Jeb will do anything to fix it for his big brother.

6. New Mexico went to Strong Kerry all of a sudden,
And a lot of states switched in the last polls, seemingly. The pendulum swings towards Kerry again, just like it did toward Bush a week or two ago.

12. How can you be sure sure when crooked Jeb Bush
Edited on Wed Oct-20-04 11:41 AM by babyreblin
is governor? What safe guards are in place to prevent the theft of Florida's electoral votes for a second time? Would our supreme court vote W in for a second time if given the chance? I'm really unsure about Florida.

This was meant as a reply to post number 5, sorry.

7. I agree, for two reasons . . .
first, they will do everything in their power to suppress Democratic votes (they're already doing it); and

second, no matter what the actual vote is, the BushCo touchscreen voting machines will report a win for Jebbie's brother . . .

the good news, of course, is that subtracting Florida still equals a Kerry win . . . unless they're equally successful in committing election fraud in other states . . .

11. Seems they like the Election Model assumptions:
Iv'e been saying it for months: Kerry wins the undecided.

Check out what happens if he gets 50%,55%,60% (base case), 67%, 75%

13. Well...
It's common knowledge that undecideds tend to break for the challenger in elections.

14. Nader Support Reconfigured For Penitent Greens
From getting nearly 3% last time around, he's down to 1%. If you look, though, this guy had Nader drawing 2% yesterday. Don't know what difference that makes electorally.
