Prediction ThreadAn electoral college map is here to help keep you in your prognostication. Larry Sabato's own map and current prediction. Make your predictions: House GOP Gains or Losses. Currently 227-207 with 1 independent. Sabato predicts the outcome will be something like 232-235 R to 200-203 D. Note how many seats you think the GOP will pick-up or lose (+5, -3, etc.) Senate GOP Gains or Losses. Currently 51-48+a Vermont douchebag. Recent predictions seem to call for about 3 net GOP gains in the Senate. Again, call the pick-up or loss (+2, -3). Presidential Election: Popular vote share. Call the percent of the popular vote that Bush will receive to the nearest half-percent. Presidential Election: Electoral Share. Call the number of electors you think Bush will win. Presidential Election: Time of Declaration. Call the time you think that the first of the major broadcast and cable news networks (CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC (sorta) and Fox) declare an overall winner in the contest. Be aware-- they're not going to do so very quickly this time around. Presidential Election: Swing States! Call who will win the following states: OH, FL, MI, MN, IA, WI, PA, CO, NJ, HI, NM, NH. Presidential Election: Tiebreaking Uncategorizable Prediction! Make your bold call of an interesting happening that will occur on Election Night. Will James Carville put another trash can on his head? Will Peter Jennings announce that "Tonight the nation had a temper-tantrum"? Will Dan Rather break down and demand, "What the fuck are you people-- morons?" Humorous and serious predictions welcome. Overall winner decided by me. Prize? You get to lead the line when we do a mass "Victory Lap" through the comments of the blogosphere. Plus the usual dumb non-prizes. Clarification: Cedarford reminds me that Louisiana probably isn't electing a Senator on Nov. 2; it's probably just forwarding two men to a runoff to take place in December. This sort of screws everything up, because, of course, I want to judge a winner shortly after the election, if not that night. So, because the Republican in LA is favored to win, I'm going to assume that Vitter will win so long as he makes it at least to the run-off (which he will). This is a sorta goofy workaround, since the person who predicts "right" by my rule may turn out to be wrong, but I don't know how else to handle it, given that people have already made predictions, and I don't want everyone to modify their predictions based on this wrinkle. So I guess we'll just take Vitter as an in-the-bag pick-up for the Republicans, at least as far as these predictions, even though he's really not. Another clarification: When picking the time of declaration, include a time zone, or else I'll just assume you mean Eastern time. Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight, whatever the hell we'll be in on Nov. 2. I can never keep that straight. Yes, very presumptuous of me and all. Very East-Coast-Centric. But we need a default. We can't have this prediction contest descending into a two-week disputed affair with the threat of outright political violence. Help a Blogger Out: Try to respond to the questions specifically posed, or else it's going to be difficult for me to include you as a candidate for the actual winner. Like, don't just tell me which states Kerry will win. Tell me which of the states I asked about he'll win. And yeah-- I should have asked about Oregon. It slipped my mind. posted by Ace at 08:19 PM
CommentsI think the prize should be a free blogad for a week on your site. :-) And, I'm not saying that 'cause I want one, anyone that knows me knows I'm not making a prediction. Posted by: Karol on October 30, 2004 09:01 PM
House GOP Gains or Losses: Big win for the Right GOP+6 so 233-201 Senate GOP Gains or Losses: Net GOP +1 Fortunately, it still requires the Dems to pick a new minority leader. Presidential Election: Popular vote share: Bush 52% (although because of election night shenanigans it will never be proven.
Presidential Election: Time of Declaration: Jan 15th Unless you mean declaring themselves winners as well as smarter than the rest of us. They have each already done that. Presidential Election: Swing States! Call who will win the following states: MI(D), MN(D),IA(R), WI(R), CO(R), NJ(D), HI(D), NM(R), NH(R). Presidential Election: Tiebreaking Uncategorizable Prediction: Before the polls even close, an avalanche of lawsuits are filed in Florida, Ohio and PA. This continues for the next several days. Mired in a web of both real and completely bogus claims, the court system is tied up to the point that at least 2 of these states are compromised beyond determination. Vicious rhetoric sullies the system through the soft December 15th deadline, and up to the hard Jan 3rd one.

Okay... what the hell... House- R+6 233-201 Random: Kerry concedes, then calls Bush back to say he didn't- oh wait, that was Gore... Dan Rather will use the words "Dog" and "Hunt" in a sentence... Peter Jennings will raise an eyebrow and ask "what does this mean?"... Tom Brokaw will blame the bloggers... Michael Moore will call the American People "stupid"...Terry McAwful will, at 0700 Wednesday, say "we're keeping our options open as far as the Presidency, but overall a great night for the democrats!" Posted by: Jack Grey on October 31, 2004 02:56 AM
Presidential Election: Electoral Share: Bush 253 Kerry 238 What happened to the rest of the states? Did Nader get 'em? As long as no one is saying 'the campaign continues' on Wed. (like a Gore advisor did last time), that's all I need out of this election. Posted by: Karol on October 31, 2004 03:04 AM
Okey Dokey: House GOP gains only three. Oddball prediction: Major voting fraud and lawsuits, but little actual polling-place anarchy. More than one major anchor will insinuate what Cronkite came out and said--that Osama's tape is helping Bush and isn't that conveeeenient? Dan rather will announce his retirement.

House: +4 Posted by: Scout on October 31, 2004 08:26 AM
That electoral map is a blast to play with! Here are my predictions: HOUSE - GOP +5 POPULAR VOTE - Bush 51%, Kerry 47%, Nader 2% SWING STATES - OH (K), FL (B), MIN (B), IA (B), WIS (B), PA (K), CO (B), NJ (B), HI (K), NM (K), NH (K) The numbers all work out. Winning "shocking" states like NJ and MIN put W. over the top and compensate for the losses of OH and PA. THE BIG CONTROVERSEY - There are more votes counted in New Mexico than there are actual residents of the state (!). Posted by: TSL on October 31, 2004 08:30 AM
Also, I think the election will be decided Tuesday night. Bush will have gained enough electoral votes that litigation would be (a) unnecessary, and (b) would only serve to backfire on the Dems by making them look like Sore Losermen. Kerry will concede Tuesday night sometime before midnight. He will be wearing a blue blazer when he does so. Terezza will be laoded on a combination of tranq's and booze, and will say something nonsensical, followed by a teary speech about how much she misses her first husband. Posted by: Scout on October 31, 2004 08:31 AM
I had posted something thought provoking and pithy then your comments script ate it and said it was not currently working. The moment is gone and I find myself unable to remember my previous brilliance. Bush wins unless the MSM goes scorched earth and outright lies and ends what little credibility they have left. Kerry will not contest it if it is more than a 2% margin. I do not forsee a tie, just because the odds are so freakin' off the chart and absurd. Though I do not mind because W would be installed. I think Thune might just surprise us all and win. I think NJ will go to Kerry though not by nearly the margin they anticipate. I think Bush carries Florida soundly, but I am an optimist. Ohio I am concerned with. I think if PA goes for bush Kerry can just go home. Also, I think that the one sleeper issue this election is same sex marriage on 11 state ballots and that will help Bush. Either way, we wake up the next morning with a President, god willing. If it is Kerry, I will suck it up and pray he pulls his head out of his ass and fires every single Clintonite around him. Though i think it is going to be a repeat of the Clinton years as far as foreign policy goes. You never know though, he might wake up and smell the RDX, but I doubt it. Ok, that was much less elequent but the same basic idea. Posted by: Jennifer on October 31, 2004 09:06 AM
House GOP gain: +4 Posted by: Joe R. the Unabrewer on October 31, 2004 09:07 AM
HOUSE - GOP +5 POPULAR VOTE - Bush 49.1%, Kerry 48.4%, Nader 1% SWING STATES - MI(K) 285,000 jobs lost, OH (K)265,000 jobs lost, PA (K) 168,000 jobs lost, FL (B), MIN (B), IA (B), WIS (B), CO (B), NJ (K), HI (K), NM (K), NH (K) General Prediction - Civil War breaks out in both parties no matter who wins. Democrat Centrists vs. the Deaniacs on national security and the hate America culture taking residence in the Democratic Party. Traditional Republicans vs. the powerful but small cabal of neocons that led Bush into Adventurism, Hyperpower arrogance, incompetant Iraq postwar actions, and fiscal recklessness. End result? Bush because the power of his special interests will triumph over the mobilized Dem groups. Hillary is delighted and ready to be the healer of the nation if Bush has another inept 4 years and stubbornly fails to change a single policy. In 2006, Bush admits that he won't - because Jesus speaks to him and tells him what to do through the vessels of Richard Perle, Grover Norquist, Texas Oilmen, and Dick Cheney.
Posted by: Cedarford on October 31, 2004 10:22 AM
Might as well throw my hat in the ring. I'm very worried this election...take the close stats in the few battleground states, combine with the usual shady tactics of the left multiplied by their crazed state today.....ugh. Not following the congressional stuff as closely, but: House GOP Gains or Losses. +4 seats for the GOP Senate GOP Gains or Losses. +2 seats GOP Presidential Election: 50.5% Bush, 48% Kerry Presidential Election: Electoral Share. Presidential Election: Time of Declaration. This is impossible to judge, of course.....they'll be all sorts of statements that one or the other wins that won't be "official", but I'd guess around 3AM CET Wednesday Bush will concede. Bush will have the honor not to drag this thing out, although I think it may be so close that Hawaii becomes crucial, which kicks the time back a bit longer than it would normally. Presidential Election: Swing States! OH K Which brings it all down to HI, which, despite the polls, I can't believe would actually end up voting for Bush. Presidential Election: Tiebreaking Uncategorizable Prediction! Hmmm. What could possibly be crazy...the Dems will win, while losing the popular vote, so the MSM will be happy and the Dems will say the normal crazy stuff.....great moment for democracy, we still have a mandate from the people, hope for our troops, blah blah blah. There's my take. I don't want to win. Posted by: James G. on October 31, 2004 10:34 AM
I don't think I can edit my comments, so I'll just change my wild prediction here: All of my above statements turn out true, except bush wins Hawaii, giving him 270 electoral votes, except the faithless WV voter doesn't vote Bush, thereby depriving both candidates of the required votes in the electoral college. Kerry will hang on and fight "for the people" until the end result is decided, ultimately for Bush. Posted by: James G. on October 31, 2004 10:41 AM

If the difference between the polls and the actual vote runs something like it did in Australia, then I expect it to come in very close to what Iowahawk said. Bush 52-53, Kerry 45-46, miscellaneous 1-2. Bush 280-300 in the electoral college (bit harder to pick that one). Law suits filed in at least 10 states.

zetetic - with each year, more Muslims come into America, thanks to the 1965 Immigration Act. The Jooooos as you like to say, are no longer the players they once were, due to demography. Down to 2% of the vote, also neutralized somewhat by being hoisted on their own petard of open immigration by the new Muslim vote. Muslims already outnumber Jews in France, the UK, Canada, and are close in S Africa. They will surpass Jews in voting strength in the USA in about 5-7 years. And Kerry will still get 80% of the Jewish vote and campaign contributions - as he gets 80% of the Muslim vote. Even if Kerry sends Jimmuh Carter in to be his Peace Broker later. Jews still have a large "money lead" over Muslims to influence US politician's to tilt to Israel, but that too may be neutralized in another 10-15 years. Besides, after 30 years of trying to woo Jews with pro-Israel policies and learning that 80% will stick with the Dems no matter what, Reps are frustrated, and both sides can easily make the Jewish groups a lower priority, take their voting preferences, like blacks, as a given - and spend more time on the Hispanic and Asian voters in play. Sounds like you may be crying "Joooooos" more frequently in the future, zetetic! Posted by: Cedarford on October 31, 2004 05:13 PM
House: GOP +4 Uncategorizable, unpredictable predictions: 1. Black turnout will be the lowest in decades and GWB's share will more than double 2000. 2. The GOP will easily win the GOTV contest after it becomes apparent they did a better job than the rat 527s in registering living humans.

Ace, First off, you're aces. OK, enough of that. Here goes. By the way, I am never right about this stuff, and I have given John Forbes Kerry a few states "just in case" (barring the apocalypse of a Kerry win). House: GOP + 5 Outrage: Decidedly false and outlandish claims of voter disenfranchisement will be made before the polls close in the East and Midwest, depsite the fact that even if true, would not change the election's outcome (e.g. W ahead by 5% in FL). Also, Maine will be contested for it's partial EC vote and HI will be too close to call. NB: I really think W will win WI and PA but am too chickenshit to call it because I can barely handle the anticipatory anxiety as it is. Posted by: MeTooThen on October 31, 2004 11:53 PM
House: GOP +6 Bush: 51.9% Kerry: 47% Who cares: 1.1% Called at: 12:05 EST OH: R, FL: R, MI: D, MN: R, IA: R, WI: R, PA: D, CO: R, NJ: D (but closer than expected, within 2-4%), HI: R, NM: R, NH: D, OR: D, Maine's other electoral vote: R (I have no idea if that adds up to the above numbers, but frankly I don't care enough to go look.) Of course, the Democrats will be screaming disenfranchisement by noon tomorrow, that is not a prediction. That is, as Ace would say, like saying Oliver is going to eat tomorrow.

Okay, here's my $0.02 worth: House GOP Gains or Losses. GOP +4 seats Senate GOP Gains or Losses. GOP +3 seats Presidential Election: Popular vote share. Bush will win 49.5% of the popular vote, making it the 4th consecutive election without someone garnering 50+% of the vote. Presidential Election: Electoral Share. Bush will win 283 electoral votes. My count is only valid before the Democrats ask the courts to change some results. Presidential Election: Time of Declaration. If Minnesota and Iowa for Bush, the race will be over. I'm 10:45 p.m. Presidential Election: Swing States! OH: Kerry; FL: Bush; MI: Kerry; MN: Bush; IA: Bush; WI: Bush; PA: Kerry; CO: Bush; NJ: Kerry; HI: Bush; NM: Bush; NH: Kerry. Presidential Election: Tiebreaking Uncategorizable Prediction! 2) Chris Matthews will announce that Florida is still up for grabs when Bush has a 20 point early lead. In an unrelated announcement, Ohio will be called for Kerry at 6 p.m.. EST 3) Brit Hume will offer the most balanced analysis of the election results, regardless of who wins.

George W. Bush has bet on the pro-life people, the believers, and those who are for victory in the global war on terrorism to get out the vote for him. I'm not American, but that's my team x3. George W. Bush has not failed us. We're not going to fail him. Slate: One Nation Under Bush (link) "I want you to stand, raise your right hands," and recite "the Bush Pledge," said Florida state Sen. Ken Pruitt. The assembled mass of about 2,000 in this Treasure Coast town about an hour north of West Palm Beach dutifully rose, arms aloft, and repeated after Pruitt: "I care about freedom and liberty. I care about my family. I care about my country. Because I care, I promise to work hard to re-elect, re-elect George W. Bush as president of the United States." I say that's the winning team: people who care and are positively for George W. Bush. The force of those who love Bush will be greater than that of those that hate him. The humble and well-organised many will prove stronger than the billionaires of the Aspen meeting. I say George W. Bush will win with at least 55% of the popular vote and at least 300 Electoral College votes. The Republicans will gain in the legislature too, at least two seats in each house. John Thune will defeat Tom Daschle, the leader of the obstructionists. It will be a solid endorsement for Bush all along the line. It will be a win like John Howard's win, only more so. This is not an entry in a betting pool. I am unwilling to set any upper limit on success. Posted by: David Blue on November 1, 2004 08:48 PM
I predict 296 for Bush. That's every state he won in 2000 (except NH, which I think may be contrarian) plus the states that were extremely close: Iowa, New Mexico, and Wisconsin. Key factors: voters don't trust Kerry on foreign policy, and GOP GOTV. Details and 2000 data at pajamasphere.com/election2004/prediction.html For those who are predicting a major swing to Bush: add NH plus the remaining 3 swing states (MI, MN, PA). That's 348. Which one first? The Horserace Blog's custom poll aggregate (after throwing out polls whose methodology he rejects) has Bush ahead in PA, 47.53% to 46.87% with +/- 1.7% margin of error. Popular Vote: Bush 50, Kerry 48, Nader+Other 2 Senate +2, House +5 Posted by: Pajamasphere on November 2, 2004 10:47 AM
