Last day to enter contest, election one week from today.

So far, I think Joey will win - but the winner with that electoral vote total will be Obama, not Romney (which means Joey still wins!)

See first post in thread for rules - just post the electoral college result of winner, without going over, you do not have to pick winner. Picking correct winner is tie-breaker.

Entries so far, the electoral vote total of winner 2012 Presidential:

311 Romney - joeydb
291 Obama - hi im god
288 Obama - Riot
287 Obama - Ocala Mike
269 tie to Romney - clipclop

I like where I'm sitting, strategically. If Obama wins a close one, it's all me!

The electoral count closest to the winner "wins" first - the correct Pres. pick only comes into play to break a tie.

If Ipsos-Reuter Obama electoral blowout occurs, Joey wins!

Reuters/Ipsos Poll
Quote:
With two weeks to go before Election Day, a new Reuters/Ipsos forecast released today predicts an Electoral College landslide for President Barack Obama over Republican rival Mitt Romney.

Obama leads Romney by a point in the Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll, 47-46. But results from Ipsos' tracking in key swing states leads to a projection of a much bigger Electoral College victory. The Ipsos projection has Obama winning the big three swing states of Florida, Ohio and Virginia.

Ipsos' final Electoral College score: Obama wins 332-206. Here's what the firm's projected map looks like:

Like I say, I like where I'm sitting, strategically (although I'm rooting for Joey)!
