FYI: The OP's map is incorrect, its out of date and the votes per state have changed.

Yea, that was fairly optimistic.

Prize?

Prize?!

For what?

Because I can read the polls?

Look, I read the aggregate of polls in all 50 states. I went with every one, except Florida, because Romney's aggregate lead there was very narrow, and both the state and the national polls were trending towards Obama.

JESUS H. CHRIST IN A SIDECAR! I get a prize just because I wasn't one of those morons chugging Kool-Aid from the "SKEWED POLLS!" pitcher? I get a prize just because I can read some polls and see WHAT WAS GLARINGLY OBVIOUS??

That's it!

That's ALL I did!

538 got the exact same pattern right. So did Sam Wang at the Princeton consortium. So would anyone who just looked at the freakin' data!

Sorry, I'll pass. I want no part of a prize given out just because I can read and do very basis math.
