[True Democrat]

Ernest v. True Democrat

True Democrat (D-PA): 63,427,552, 50%, 272 EV
Ernest Bunbury (R-SC): 60,226,894, 48%, 266 EV



[9] Ernest 1-1-1
v.
[2] True Democrat 1-1-1

I believe I'm now 2-1-1.  I won that one where I lost the PV.

Yeah, that was a relic of the thing I was quoting, which I forgot to delete.

Set 5:

josh22 v. Ilikeverin

Josh Craddock (R-PA): 63,388,911, 50%, 265 EV
Chris Ilikeverin (D-IN): 59,975,821, 48%, 273 EV



In a stunning upset, Craddock is eliminated, and Ilikeverin (presumably) advances to the next round.

Keystone Phil v. Hughento

The seventh and (presumably) final game between these two titans...only one can win this set and have a chance of advancing to the next round.

Contrary to all expectations, things did not look good for Phil on election day.  He had a shot, but everything had to go his way.  No room for error.

And Phil lost Virginia.

Hugh Bartlett [D-OR]:  63,395,740, 50%, 295 EV
Keystone Phil [R-PA]: 60,531,728, 48%, 243 EV



Yet another Republican falls prey to The Curse of Texas.

Keystone Phil is eliminated, and hughento (presumably) eliminates.

[Erc]

Jake v. Alcon

This game started off with the most tossup states I'd seen in this tournament.

It looked as if Jake would probably tie it...but he ended up losing two states he should have won (AR, and, you guessed it, OK), and the election.

Alcon San Croix (D-WA): 63,597,907, 51%, 282 EV
Jake Nichols (R-PA): 60,296,584, 48%, 256 EV



Alcon (presumably) advances, and Jake, is, unfortunately, booted off the island.

Colin Wixted v. nini2287

Michael Holler (D-PA): 63,665,452, 51%, 282 EV
Colin Wixted (R-AK): 60,000,339, 48%, 257 EV



Colin...you came ever so close, but just couldn't pull it off.  You certainly exceeded my (and I think your own) expectations here, and you did much better than I thought any Senator from Alaska could do.

Wixted is eliminated, and nini2287 advances to the tiebreaker.

[Erc]

Ernest v. True Democrat

Yet another election coming down to California...

And Ernest wins it.


Ernest Bunbury [R-SC]: 63,949,837, 51%, 302 EV
True Democrat [D-PA]: 60,051,933, 48%, 236 EV



And this goes onto Game 6...

[Erc]

Set 6:

Ernest v. True Democrat

True Democrat just couldn't break into Ernest's lead here...it came very close in the last week, but it just wasn't enough.

Ernest Bunbury (R-SC): 63,218,267, 50%, 315 EV
True Democrat (D-PA): 60,181,985, 48%, 223 EV



Ernest advances to the tiebreakers (although he'll face a tough time there), and True Democrat is eliminated.

All of these predictions were correct in picking the winner (although not necessarily the time it took), except in the Jake/Alcon race, as it turned out.

[Akno21]

I win Kansas but not California, no wonder I lost

Set 4:

josh22 v. Ilikeverin

Things didn't look good for Ilikeverin. Power 11 scandals on October 25th generally aren't good.

But then he pulled off the unthinkable...winning Indiana.


Josh Craddock (R-NC): 63,640,314, 51%, 267 EV
Chris Ilikeverin (D-IN): 59,541,231, 47%, 271 EV

Set 5:

Josh Craddock (R-PA): 63,388,911, 50%, 265 EV

In a stunning upset, Craddock is eliminated, and Ilikeverin (presumably) advances to the next round.

*seizures of happiness, especially at winning INDIANA *

Hmmm... I thought this was a best of three, not five.  Well, I'm glad that I have such great power of prediction.

Colin Wixted v. nini2287

Michael Holler (D-PA): 63,665,452, 51%, 282 EV
Colin Wixted (R-AK): 60,000,339, 48%, 257 EV



Colin...you came ever so close, but just couldn't pull it off.  You certainly exceeded my (and I think your own) expectations here, and you did much better than I thought any Senator from Alaska could do.

Wixted is eliminated, and nini2287 advances to the tiebreaker.

Great race Colin, you had me really scared and I don't think I would have won without the home state advantage.

BTW, my name is Nick (Nicholas) not Michael.

[Keystone Phil]

Ah, you win some, you lose some. It was fun to watch. I just can't stand looking at Texas, Virginia and Arkansas and seeing that I somehow lost.

Same to you Nick. Even if I did put that I was R-PA you probably would have won PA, a mix of me not being a Democrat and my libertarian policies. Well anyway it was a good race and I did better than I thought.

Apparently, a Canadian libertarian-leaning liberal has more Southern appeal than a populist Southerner.

[Sam Spade]

Apparently, a Canadian libertarian-leaning liberal has more Southern appeal than a populist Southerner.

If this is true, what I can't figure out is that a Southern libertarian-leaning centrist has less Southern appeal than a Canadian libertarian-leaning liberal.

Come to think of it, that's a very good question.
