Oh yeah, any way about it. They will have more that one reason tomorrow to ask "What happened last night?"
 
I keep second guessing and I finally settled on ...

Obama 294
Romney 244

That is also the most likely result per Dr. Wang at PEC, so a pretty safe bet.

Obama will get 303 or 332, depending which way Florida falls.

If it goes 332 I think we will have to give this year's prognostication award to Votamatic.org which predicted 332 ... in JUNE. And his prediction has hardly waivered since.
 
I do hope there's some kind of prize or recognition for the person who gets it most disastrously wrong. It would be a shame not to get the chance to laugh uproariously at the most stupid and/or partisan poster, wouldn't it?
 
With much regret I think the results will be:

Obama: 275
Romney: 263

I just realized that me and Fiddy have the same prediction (I had not read everyone else's yet).

So, in case of Romney defeat, poster(s). I think we should also recognize those that greatly overestimated Obama's victory.

Not necessary, Adam already has a Obama t-shirt.
 
Just to let everyone know, once Florida is decided, I'll declare the winner(s). Of course, it's Florida and this could take a while. ;)
 
Well, the election was not as close as many predicted. Obama (unfortunately :)) won by a significant margin (332-206).

And the winners are:

Objective-J
Kandahar
danarhea
molten_dragon
AdamT

These posters have won 6-month Silver Donation memberships to DP. Congrats!
