    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.

    Thank you, sir - you are a benevolent leader.

    My prediction:

    Obama: 52%
    McCain: 45%
    Other: 3%

    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...

    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!!!!

    It's not "officially" a landslide, though it is telling.

    They say, "Let the best man win." Well, the best man won.

    What's officially a landslide ? I think Obama got about twice as many electoral votes as McCain did.
