Election prediction game!!!

It's not crap most news outlets are so biased crazy!

Zogby is push polling for Republicans, and still calls PA solidly blue. CNN is probably more critical of Obama than FOX, at least on issues that actually hold weight, they also have much more conservative poll numbers. VA was still a toss-up state on CNN long after most others, including FOX, placed it in Obama's column. Aside from MSNBC, which is the FOX News of the left, Conservative control News radio, and most major news outlets are rated as centrist, including the NYT and the WP (a reader poll found most of their readers voted independent of party lines). So yes, it is crap.

Also, commas are your friends.

Yeah bro, mad props to that wicked bias...

 

[ShadowBoxing]

The bias is dat fiya.

Oh Damn the map I was looking at showed it as undecided stil 42 / 58. OK I concede and will switch that one but it won't change the outcome.

Um, DC was decided 16 years ago as to which candidate it vote for in this election. In fact, I predict that in 20 years, it will vote for the Democrat, even if the Republican candidate has a 98% national approval rating.

 

[RAMORE]

Why?

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Why?

Because Government programs are typically expanded under Democrats, and there are a ton of black people in DC, a ton.

I think the Macdaddy will maverick his way to a win.

During my intense political scientific research John Sidney McCain III the winner of the 2008 presidential election.

So basically you're intense political research involved doing a "create your own map" on CNN.com, rather than, ya know, actual research. Gotcha.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

I seriously want a decent explanation on how two lock Democrat states still end up on McCain win scenarios.

 

[The Senator]

Why?

Because it has consistently voted for the Democratic Party by 85+% in every single election since it was given federal voting rights in 1964.

 

[RAMORE]

Really how utterly depressing and predictable.

I have decided to switch North Carolina from a McCain win to an Obama win.

As for RAMORE's predictions...I think your party loyalty is to be commended. That said, there is no way in he** that John McCain will win DC. I think you should revisit your predictions and think a little more logically.

At the rate this thread is going, we're going to have to move it to the Fan Fiction forum.

There is not a chance in hell Obama will lose PA. And I will pledge to never post on this board again if Obama loses DC.

As long as Pitts, Philly, etc. go to the polls.....There's been a lot of McCain activity lately.....I think O should've sent Biden and Hillary up 'har.

I'm not too stressed about it. At this point in 2004 Bush had a small lead, and Kerry still ended up winning. It probably wont be 8%, but I'd be shocked if it's below 3%.

I don't think I've typed this on here before, but I now think Obama may have a chance to win tomorrow. Here's how:

I'm going to say a popular vote count of:

65 million for Obama
63 million for McCain

 

[ShadowBoxing]

I still don't see Obama losing New Hampshire, not by a long shot, or Washington State...that is decided liberal.
