The SG Premium Membership Electoral College Wager

Brk · Post by **Brk** » Mon Nov 03, 2008 12:50 pm

ABC News has an interactive map you can use to create your own final electoral college tally.

http://www.abcnews.go.com/politics/vote2008

My total came out to:

Obama 387
McCain 151

Use this tool and select your states, then post here with your totals. Whomever is closest to the actual total gets a ONE YEAR premium subscription to SG, on my dime. Naturally, if I'm closest, ya'll get zip.

Partisans, engage.

Obama - 273

I think that Ohio goes to Obama and gives him the win.

Texas is absolutely a red state. Not sure what made Sava think it would go to Obama?

jjrs · Post by **jjrs** » Mon Nov 03, 2008 8:12 pm

official bid-

Obama- 311
McCain- 227

(McCain gets florida, keeps missouri and NC. Obama squeaks by in Ohio, gets virginia and pennsylvania).

What I hope will happen and think is the best case scenario for obama (not my bet)
Obama- 346
McCain- 191

David · Post by **David** » Mon Nov 03, 2008 11:18 pm

I believe Missouri has picked the winner in all but one election in the previous one hundred years.

I hope it becomes twice.

Here's my guess... Just for kicks and giggles.

Obama 329
MxCain 209

Kerry won Massachusetts. Do you mean Gore?

Yes, Gore lost TN, his own state... IMHO, what the voters vote in the candidates home state says a lot...

I assume you're talking about Obama? I'm sure he will. There were polls last week that indicated that McCain might be in trouble in Arizona but I'm sure he'll pick that one up fairly easily.

Roody · Post by **Roody** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 2:17 pm

Yeah Obama should easily win Illinois. I think McCain will win Arizona ultimately also, but that one appears more in play.

No fear. Obama leads in Illinois by 20-30 points.
