Predictions ...

Not sure how picking college football consensus All-Americans does not lead to more fist-fights, but LWJ and I have agreed on an electoral map of what will happen tomorrow.



We predict the final vote will be approximately 47 percent and change for McCain and 51 percent and change for Obama, or as LWJ predicted around a 3.5 % margin of victory in the popular vote.

LWJ is busy studying, I think, or canvassing, and he will be on in a bit to update the final projections and calls. The key to the map above is: Solid states are a greater than 5% margin of victory for the winning candidate; Lean states are predicted to be less than 5% margin of victory for the winning candidate.
