Let's have a little competition here. Give your one and only final guess at who wins and the electoral score. Rules are simple. Play in by 1159 pm west coast Sunday night. 270 to win a good site for forecasting election. Use there map as a resource if you want. Winner gets the nod as covers political guru. I'll start because I don't think the polls are really giving you new insights at this point. Good luck.

Clinton 274-264

Great idea. I fully support this. Wall and I will give bragging rights to the winner or whose closest 

(Wall, maybe let the winner run the forum for a day or two...what do you think  )

I'll post mine this weekend.

i'm bumping this thread, one of the few worthwhile threads in this forum.  everyone has an opinion but only three people have predictions?  we can do better than that.  and now you guys have the benefit of more polling and the new comey letter calling this new email evidence bullshit (although i already told you that so it shouldn't be a surprise).  anyway, let's see what you got

301-237

(thought I'd jump in and kindly point out to everyone...there are 538 total electoral votes.  It is probably a good idea that your predictions for each candidate totals 538...)

keep in mind one or two of these fool said they weren't going to vote so i think that's why dj's numbers don't add up to 538.

True dat. It looks like my interactive electoral map didn't award trump the one vote that I believe he will get in Maine. So add one vote for Trump score from mine.

Clinton Wins

307 - 230

Side note:  Since Nebraska and Maine are not winner take all electoral votes ... i still give all 5 of Nebraska to Trump and the Maine votes are split equally at 2 for Clinton ... 2 for Trump.  North Carolina being the closest of all contests ... me giving Trump the win there as the black vote does not turn out like 2008 and/or 2012.
