Backdoor bragging

My Prediction: Obama 52%, McCain 47%.
Actual Result: Obama 52%, McCain 47%

My Prediction: Obama wins PA, Ohio, Indiana, Florida, Virginia, and Missouri.
Actual Result: Obama won PA, Ohio, Indiana, Florida, and Virginia, with Missouri too close to call

My Prediction in the Electoral College:
Obama 360
McCain 178

Actual Result in the Electoral College:
Obama 349 (could be 360 if he wins Missouri as I predicted)
McCain 163 (could be 178 if he wins NC as I predicted)

I have to say I'm happy I made that prediction post! It's gratifying after all the hours I've put into following the election, I just about nailed it with my predictions.

    Next time around, there's no need to spend all this money on an election - they should just call you up and you can tell them who would win if there were an election.

    Damn dude. You certainly hit the nail on the head. Fair play.

    Good call! Is it too early to predict the second term? They might call you for advice.

    technically you should say, "I learn a lot more when I am wrong about things like this election prediction" for it to be labeled backdoor bragging.
