One small thing I noticed - When I tried updating my prediction, when I got to the review page, the paragraphs for the analysis are all bunched together and it does some funky things. For example:

Quote

Let\'s see which it is. Wink\r\n\r\nThis scenario is Romney vs. Obama. I discounted running mates because right now I really have no clue who Romney would choose. I\'d be shocked if this election weren\'t a toss-up, but I just don\'t see economic conditions improving enough for Obama to be reelected. The economy debate will be huge for Romney.\r\n\r\nThe state I think will change the most is New Hampshire. Romney is a great candidate for this state, and is already spending resources there.

Well, my prediction map is pretty easy to imagine, since I start with the 2004 results.  So here it is:

Give Obama all of the states won by Kerry in 2004, then subtract these six:  Oregon, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Maine.

That will give Obama 191 electoral votes; the other 347 will go to the Republican.

As far as I can see, that's the most optimistic (for the GOP) prediction at this site.

In his 2012 re-election bid, Obama wins all the Kerry 2004 states minus New Hampshire,Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Obama narrowly holds onto Oregon,Minnesota,Wisconsin,plus Iowa,Colorado,Nevada,and New Mexico. 232ev. To get to 270ev, Obama wins Michigan and Pennsylvania-narrowly plus either Virginia,Ohio,or North Carolina.

My prediction, which is on here somewhere (I can't find it) also uses Kerry's 2004 performance:  Obama wins all of Kerry's states but six:  Oregon, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Maine.  Result:  Obama gets 191 EV.

What evidence do you have that Romney will win OR, MN, and/or ME? I can see NH, PA, and maybe WI, but unless Europe collapses, Romney won't win in a landslide (or at all).

I think I'll start doing my commentary on which forum predictions are most susceptible to change again.

As of 8 June these states are most susceptible to being changed as they would require only 24 or fewer changed predictions (5% of the total predictions) to change.

Alphabetical Order:
Colorado: 11 changes to go from Tossup D to Lean D
Florida: 5 changes to go from 40% R to 50% R
Missouri: 18 changes to go from 50% R to 40% R
New Hampshire: 7 changes to go from 50% D to 40% D
New Mexico: 17 changes to go from Strong D to Lean D
Nevada: 10 changes to go from Tossup D to Lean D
North Dakota: 3 changes to go from Strong R to Lean R
Ohio: 15 changes to go from 40% D to 50% D
South Carolina: 11 changes to go from Lean R to Strong R
Virginia: 8 changes to go from 40% D to 50% D

Size Order:
North Dakota: 3 changes to go from Strong R to Lean R
Florida: 5 changes to go from 40% R to 50% R

Nevada: 10 changes to go from Tossup D to Lean D
