10 weeks ago, some brave MacRumors souls answered my request (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=86095) for a popular vote prediction to the 2004 U.S. presidential election. Well, the day is upon us, and here are the people that responded with one actual percentage point, in order of most awesome prediction to least awesome. (I've also included blackfox's prediction, the only person to predict that bush would lose the popular vote, but win the electoral college, so I've included it, and put 1%.)
The winner of this contest will get a copy of Jon Stewart's "America, The Book" courtesy of Lee Tom.
If you win and already have a copy, you can choose a mystery gift, which will be equally as cool.
This is a closed contest, no more entries, but feel free to leave your comments!
Your Predictions
MattG Kerry +10% (at least)
sorryiwasdreami Kerry +10%
Lee Tom Kerry +9%
jefhatfield Kerry +5%
Macmaniac Kerry +2%
Neserk Kerry +1%
blackfox Bush -1% (loses popular, wins electoral)
relimw Bush +3%
stubeeef Bush +3.17%
Winner Decision Details
I will decide solely upon how close the percentage is (meaning you can be over or under), with these exceptions:
If Bush loses popular, but wins electoral, blackfox wins.
If Kerry loses popular, but wins electoral, Neserk wins.
If it is exactly between two people, I will do a coin toss (for example, if Bush wins with 3.085% of the popular vote, it will be a coin toss between relimw and stubeef).
