How did you expect things to go on November 4th? Discuss with maps.


My final map was this:


Obama - 311 EV
McCain -227 EV

I had Indiana going for McCain all the way through the campaign and nearly every polls had it at about McCain +4. I'd had North Carolina flipping all the way through the campaign, but I thought it would go narrowly to McCain in the end as I thought he had the momentum there in the last week. The same story with Florida.

You can still see many people's final predictions in the relevant section of the site. Or even in the little icons on the left.

Here's mine - the confidence map, of which I've more reason to be proud than the percentages/winners one.

Not bad, but not great. My percentages map did a lot worse. (I predicted both Ohio and North Carolina to go Republican.)

Missed all three of the closest (MO, IN, NC)

Percentages were great tho, I only missed KY (which I thought would be McCain >60%) and Oklahoma (thought would be McCain >70%)

I'll easily admit, I thought McCain was going to win, even on Election Day.

McCain-277
Obama-261
I missed Colorado, NE2, Pennyslvania, Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina, and Florida.

What I got wrong: NE2, Montana (that was my prediction for a big upset of the night, too bad I didn't go with IN), Indiana and Missouri.

My EV total was off by 4. On the bright side of things I only got 6 percentages wrong including the 4 mistakes mentioned earlier. The two in addition I got wrong: Alabama and Idaho.

Clearly the solution is to privatize presidential elections.

So, in less than four years, get excited for the 2016 MetLife Financial U Pick The Prez Extravaganza. If you tweet a picture of your completed ballot with the hashtag #ivoted, you could win a trip for two to the inauguration or an iTunes gift card.

Obama was doing really well in VA and McCain was campaigning in PA practically everyday.

I thought that Montana would go for Obama, and switched Missouri and North Carolina. I got NE-02 and Indiana right, and thought that Florida, Georgia, and Ohio would be closer than they were.

I knew that Obama had the election won once McCain made his quixotic effort to win over Pennsylvania after seeing similar efforts prove counterproductive in Michigan (which is much like Pennsylvania in its politics), Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

In any event McCain was close to winning until the real estate and financial bubbles imploded on his campaign.

I thought it was going to be a blowout:



Dem: 405
Rep: 133

I kind of expected all of the GOP's negative campaigning to backfire on them. I was kind of right but sort of wrong at the same time.
