This thread is very specifically about who is going to get the larger popular vote and by what percentage. It is very different from this thread.
Obama: 50% McCain: 46% Other: 4% Obama about 290 clear, with at least one large bloc in dispute. Eventual total around 310 with that bloc.

Well, it seems a bit soon to call the percentages (the votes are still being counted), but let's review what's come in so far... ~String
It is too early to declare the winner (currently Barry leads by 3%) but we have a loser! The biggest loser is: SAM, with predicting a 5% McCain victory. Although I liked her maverick approach, going against the pre-election polls by 13%, it didn't pay off. Her prize is going to be the inability to bitch against the POTUS for the next 4 years!

The lead is about 4% right now, it will probably widen 1 more before the night is over. My 6% guess looks pretty close....
I have a hard time finding the spread for the popular vote. I think it is 5%... My guess of the pre-election Obama lead getting halfed were right on money... OK, FoxNews just flashed it, it is 52-46%, that is 6%, making ME the winner with a perfect prediction!!!! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
It's not "officially" a landslide, though it is telling. They say, "Let the best man win." Well, the best man won. ~String
