Post your predicted scenario here. Winner gets bragging rights. We'll do it like this: for simplicity's sake, just post which states (if any) you think will change in the Electoral College, and post the resulting EV total for the candidates.
To refresh your memories, here is how 2004 turned out:
BUSH: Alabama-9, Alaska-3, Arizona-10, Arkansas-6, Colorado-9, Florida-27, Georgia-15, Idaho-4, Indiana-11, Iowa-7, Kansas-6, Kentucky-8, Louisiana-9, Mississippi-6, Missouri-11, Montana-3, Nebraska-5, Nevada-5, New Mexico-5, North Carolina-15, North Dakota-3, Ohio-20, Oklahoma-7, South Carolina-8, South Dakota-3, Tennessee-11, Texas-34, Utah-5, Virginia-13, West Virginia-5, Wyoming-3. TOTAL = 286
KERRY: California-55, Connecticut-7, Delaware-3, District of Columbia-3, Hawai'i-4, Illinois-21, Maine-4, Maryland-10, Massachusettes-12, Michigan-17, Minnesota-10, New Hampshire-4, New Jersey-15, New York-31, Oregon-7, Pennsylvania-21, Rhode Island-4, Vermont-3, Washington-11, Wisconsin-10. TOTAL = 252
My prediction is that McCain will pick up Michigan, and Obama will pick up Iowa and New Mexico.
Final score: McCain 291, Obama 247.
