My Predictions

Overall, I did pretty well. I underpredicted Obama's margin in the electoral college, he ended up with 364 electoral votes, 26 more than the 338 i predicted. I overpredicted the number of democratic seats in the house. I thought we'd see a 26 seat gain, when its all over it will be closer to 20 or 21, but being off by only 5 or 6 out of 435 seats isn't bad. I only got one senate seat, Alaska, wrong.

Heres all the races I got wrong

PRESIDENT
Indiana: Obama (D) beat McCain (R)
North Carolina: Obama (D) beat McCain (R)

SENATE
Alaska: Stevens (R) apparently beat Begich (D)

HOUSE
Alaska At-Large: Young (R) beat Berkowitz (D)
California 4th: McClintock (R) apparently beat Brown (D)
Florida 25th: Diaz-Balart (R) beat Garcia (D)

Indiana 3rd: Souder (R) beat Montagano (D)
Kansas 2nd: Jenkins (R) beat Boyda (D)
Minnesota 3rd: Paulsen (R) beat Madia (D)
Ohio 1st: Driehaus (D) beat Chabot (R)
Pennsylvania 11th: Kanjorski (D) beat Barletta (R)
Virginia 2nd: Nye (D) beat Drake (R)
Virginia 5th: Perriello (D) apparently beat Goode (R)

Govenor
