My final prediction: Obama: 303 Electoral Votes Romney: 235 Obama carries the following swing states: New Mexico Wisconsin Pennsylvania Michigan Nevada Colorado New Hampshire Iowa Ohio Virginia Romney carries these swing states: North Carolina Florida Additionally, the Democrats will hold the Senate. Democrats will win the following close races in the senate: Elizabeth Warren defeats Scott Brown in Massachusetts Tim Kaine defeats George Allen in Virginia Joe Donnelly defeats Richard Mourdock in Indiana Independent Angus King wins Maine race over both the Democrat and Republican in the race to replace Olympia Snowe and caucuses with the Democrats Claire McCaskill defeats Todd Akin in Missouri Tammy Baldwin defeats Tommy Thompson in Wisconsin Chris Murphy defeats Linda McMahan in Connecticut Martin Heinrich defeats Heather Wilson in New Mexico Republicans will win the following close Senate races: Denny Rehberg defeats Jon Tester in Montana Dean Heller defeats Shelley Berkeley in Nevada Rick Berg defeats Heidi Keitkamp in North Dakota Jeff Flake defeats Richard Carmona in Arizonanocoolnamejim

Sherrod Brown the Democratic Senator here in Ohio is probably going to retain his seat against Josh Mandel as well, been a close race.

I agree. I didn't mention that race because, at the end of the day, I expect Brown to win relatively comfortably. Mid to high single digit margin.

[QUOTE="whipassmt"]

Romney's better, he actually is Running for president, unlike Obama who's just meandering.

-Karmum-

Except that video is like 5 years old, you already know he's changed his position like seven times since that video.

Just gonna plant these numbers here and walk away. Let's see how close I can predict this thing for absolutely no reason at all.

Obama 290

Romney 248

Popular vote:

Obama - 51%

Romney - 49%

Maniacc1

I forsee at least one third party candidate getting at least 1% of the popular vote.

Ah, excellent point. I was overshadowing Johnson. I think he'll actually win about 4%. Obama 50% Romney 46% Johnson 4%

I'll laugh immensely. I expect "Gary Johnson" to soar in google searches if that is the result.

If Romney wins change your sig to "Storm_Marine is the lord and paramount leader of Off Topic"

I'm going to leave OT if Obama wins, so I cant raise my own stakes any higher.

Don't discount it. There's a very good chance he won't win by that margin but it's very possible that he does. It all comes down to how Florida is decided.

538 seems to consider that to be the most likely electoral combination.

Yes, but barely. It's projecting 313 electoral votes for Obama (which is an impossible combination), because it has Florida as a toss up at this point.

I suppose that the electoral vote forecast is basically just the sum of the products of victory probabilities and electoral votes, and thus roughly half of Florida's votes are subtracted away from it?

I would add that if you are going to vote, google whether or not your state requires the modern day poll tax aka voter id.

Also, people are being warned about taking pictures or Instagraming their ballots in the following states, where it is illegal. Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Nevada, Texas and Wisconsin.

Just wondering, is there a good reason this is illegal? Seems like as long as you're taking a picture of your own ballot and nobody else's then there's no harm done

It has to do with privacy and influencing votes per those state's election laws. Stupid I know, but it won't lead to any spoiled ballots or anything.

It can be construed as election fraud, which is a felony. I guess it is similar to candidates campaigning in front of polling places.

State Law: Documenting Your Vote documents what is allowed in your state as far as photographing or making a video of your ballot and polling place.

not sure if srs.

To be honest tried as i have i really can't name anything significant he's done in 4 years i haven't met a person who thinks Obamacare is a good idea and i'm not sure his plan is the right plan.
