News Obama vs. McCain: win $20!
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 5:14 PM
With a week to go until the presidential election, it's time for the sinful among us to bet money.
Leave your guess about the outcome of the popular vote and the Electoral College vote in the comments section.
The person who correctly guesses the winner and gets the closest to the final Electoral College total wins $10. The person who correctly guesses the winner and gets the closest to the final popular vote total wins another $10.
One guess per person, please. The betting window closes at 6PM Eastern time, November 3.
The money's coming out of my wallet, so everyone is eligible to participate. One guess per person, please.
My guess:
-Obama 355 Electoral College votes, 53% of the popular vote.
-McCain 183 Electoral College votes, 45% of the popular vote.

Obama 51.5%, McCain 47.1%, other 1.4% Obama 330, McCain 208 Extra credit - Dems finish with 58 senate seats (including Lieberman and Sanders), losing in Georgia and Kentucky but pulling a seat out in Mississippi. Extra extra credit - Georgia fails to go Obama by less than 1%.
Obama/Biden: 326 electoral votes McCain/Palin: 212 electoral votes Obama/Biden: 52 percent popular vote McCain/Palin: 47 percent popular vote Barr/McKinney/Nader/other: 1 percent popular vote
O - 375 - 53.1 M - 163 - 44.9 ALSO - Dems end with 60 and Jim Martin/Scuzzby Shambles in a runoff. Obama marches through Georgia like Sherman and its a rout. Lieberman gets to spend more quality time with his good friend John. OH...and Tech beats Georgia (too much?)
Mr. Nouraee's projection is looking pretty good, too. Just to be clear, though, I've taken myself out of the running. Although I could use $20.
