US Election Day!

So the day is here and 'X'marks the box time start. But who'll actually win? Well the BBC have ran a 'I Called It' page where you predict the outcome of the election in those battleground states.

So what did you get?

I managed:

This will be a close election.
I beleive Romney will win the polular vote 55% to Obummers 43%

That's a huge margin - is there any polling data to support such a huge margin of victory??

No
BUT
There is this news article
http://godfatherpolitics.com/7936/msnbc-ca...ore-polls-open/

So an irrelevant article and no polls to back up your numbers gotcha.

Gee...
I thought EVERYONE HERE was simply pulling numbers out of their back sides :lol:

Polls are something at least.

Ok then

Fifty-two percent (52%) believe the president will be reelected, while 38% think Romney will win

(But don't tell Cerian. It is much more amusing letting him assume that I don't know how to use poll information or that I am unable to reconcile facts with reality) ^_^

I am pleasently surprised.

Congratulations! You now have a functioning brain.

Let's make sure it keeps working, shall we?

3 States already called?

Do you win a prize for being first or something?

Calling Indiana for Romney is a dummy call. A monkey could do it.

So they don't get a prize then?

Side note, is it just me or is every image of Ryan Paul him looking smug

Contray to the belief of the American Media, no, they don't get a prize

Ron Paul always looks smug

That's sad

I believe we usually give out some prize... probably a cuppa tea and a box of choc' for the oldies in the polling booths counting all those bits of paper

The last thing we need to encourage is the horse-race mentality

Same here. I remember coloring in a map of the 2000 election when I was eight years old, and it still has a green question mark because people thought Ralph Nader got electoral votes in Florida.

And I think it's just a temporary glitch.
