Electoral Count: How did everyone do?

[olshak]

With North Carolina finally declared for Obama, the total is 364 to 174.

So how did everyone do in their predictions.

I got the number exactly right... 364 to 174 (http://onelittlevictoryblog.com/2008/11/03/how-election-night-will-unfold/)... the only thing I got wrong was calling Indiana and Missouri (both 11 EV) in the opposite directions than they went. Did anyone here get it exact?

1. I missed NC, and like you, flipped MO and IN. (nt)

[featherman]

2. I had Missouri added in for 375. Otherwise exactly correct

I did pick Indiana and North Carolina. (Can't believe we missed Missouri by a couple thousand votes...ouch)

[CitizenLeft]

3. so did I. I thought 375,

MO came awfully close, though!

[VWolf]

21. Same here - I predicted

between 350 & 375, with a good chance of exactly 375.

4. Missouri is probably gone, there are still outstanding provisional ballots.

Being from MO, working phone banks, knocking on doors, I have remote hope.

[featherman]

8. According to an article in the Post-Dispatch there don't seem to be enough

outstanding, uncounted votes (mostly provisional) to make up the difference. But I still have hope... maybe something somewhere will be enough.

11. Personally, I feel a little guilty

I spent all weekend and all Monday doing GOTV work. However, I decided the weekend before that I badly wanted to be in Chicago the big night, so I didn't sign up for any election day work and instead took the bus to Chicago. (I did phonebank from Chicago, but they me us call Indiana and Pennsylvania.)

Maybe I could have made a small difference in Missouri? I have to admit, being in Chicago that night was awesome.

5. I was the exact same as you

Luckily I sent out the email to my rightie friends on October 1st!

Question, did the one district in Nebraska go to McCain?

[olshak]

27. Yeah, they all went to McCain in NE n/t

[Jennifer C]

6. Yes!

I predicted 364 to 174, with the states exactly correct.

I'm quite impressed with myself.

[olshak]

23. Nice job n/t

[onehandle]

7. I missed NC and Indiana for us. And MO for them. But I knew they would be close. nt

[bushisanidiot]

9. 364 was the number I picked on Tuesday when my kids and I were waiting

for the first polls to close. I knew it was wishful thinking, but I also knew Barack had a good chance on it based on the polls.

woo hoo!!

10. I missed Montana only

So, I guess I did pretty well...

[Occam Bandage]

12. I missed IN. That's all, I think.

[liberalpragmatist]

13. I thought the same as you

364-174, but I too thought that he'd win Missouri but not Indiana.

[kwolf68]

14. Not bad..

Though I wasnt as faithful

I missed North Carolina and Indiana...I called Mizzou for McCain if that does indeed hold up.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

15. Call Skittles to kick my ass.

I predicted a measly 298 for Obama. :yoiks:

But I DID call New Mexico!

[scheming daemons]

16. I called it 364 to 174 also.... and I also called 52.5 to 45.5 in pop vote

What do I win?

[SweetieD]

17. I had all the states but MO.

[trayfoot]

18. I had 338 - I missed NC and Indiana going for Obama.

[SoonerPride]

19. I had 378. Missed Missouri and Montana. Bought too much into MO being a bellweather

I knew the country would be Obama, so I figure MO had to be.

I also thought Montana would flip after seeing the go on with Rachel.

No free DU stuff for me.

[Jersey Devil]

25. Same here, also had 378 with MO and MT

MT was always a stretch but it really surprised me when Obama took Indiana but not Missouri.

[Patsy Stone]

20. Still waiting for MO

But other than that, spot on.

[Alter Ego]

22. I predicted 311-227.

Obama won Nevada, Virginia, Colorado, Iowa, New Mexico, and Ohio, but McCain kept North Carolina, Florida, and Indiana.

I guess that's what I get for being pessimistic. :D

[RFKHumphreyObama]

24. Missed it by 3

I mistakenly thought Montana would go for Obama. I had Obama on 367

[mnhtnbb]

26. I had 344 to 194. Got NC right, called MO for Obama, Indiana for McCain.
