Ok, I'm finally starting to feel good about this thing.
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 03:02 AM by progressoid
Since I can't seem to sleep, I decided to compare electoralvote's polling numbers from the day before the election in 2004: http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2004/Pres/Maps/Nov08.html
with the actual results: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/

Other than a couple minor differences, his numbers were quite accurate.
So I am finally, dare I say it, optimistic about the predictions for Tuesday.

Now my only concern is that the polls will be so overwhelmed that people won't be able to vote. Let's just hope for the best.

Maybe I'll be drinking in celebration tomorrow night and not to drown my sorrows. :toast: :beer:



ETA: I suppose it should be WE will be drinking in celebration. :)

2. Go to "FiveThirtyEight.com" for the best in electoral projections...
"Nate", the guy who runs it is a god in statistics and projection modeling - he's the best in Baseball statistics.
