Official Predictions Here: Don't be afraid and leave yours, for the record!
Let's do it and we will kick this thread up on Election Day who see who was right and who wasn't. My predictions are:

Popular Vote: Obama 51.1%, McCain 46.9%, Others 2%

Electoral Votes: Obama- 344 , McCain- 194

States won by Obama:
Florida
North Carolina
Viriginia
Maryland
D.C.
Delaware
New Jersey
Pennsylvania
New York
Connecticut
Massachusetts
New Hampshire
Maine
Indiana
Michigan
Illinois
Wisconsin
Iowa
Minnesota
New Mexico
Colorado
Nevada
California
Oregon
Washington
Hawaii

States won by McCain:
Alaska
Idaho
Montana
North Dakota
South Dakota
Wyoming
Nebraska
Utah
Arizona
Kansas
Oklahoma
Texas
Missouri
Ohio
Arkansas
Louisiana
Mississippi
Alabama
Georgia
Tennessee
Kentucky
West Virginia
South Carolina

Observations: Based on my predictions, McCain can technically grab Florida, PA and Virginia away from Obama and the latter would still win in the electoral college 283 to 255. In other words, Obama is the big favorite to win... and most probably he will. GOBAMA!

5. I suck at predictions, so I'm going with my best case scenario...
Obama with 403 Electoral votes
McCain with 132
3 tied

Obama with 56.7%-57.4% of the vote
McCain with 38.9-40.2%

Dems end up with a total of 62 in the Senate (Buh-bye Lieberman!)
House gains 27-35 Dem seats

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

17. McCain wins maybe 5 states, not PA. Obama by huge majority,
Dems take Senate as well, plus many locals. GOP efectively grinds to a halt after a period of blame and more filthy lies.

19. Obama with 289 EVs. Too many racist white people to give Obama a landslide.
Obama takes CA, CO, CT, DE, DC, HI, IL, IN, IA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OR, PA, RI, VT, WA, WI.

Obama wins popular vote 48.2% vs. 46.4% for McCain.
