Can we have a thread that is only guesses about the results and absent of commentary? I doubt it.

I want to have each of us make a guess of the final outcome of the Electoral College for the 2012 presidential election. Guesses must be in before midnight on Monday November 5th. Winner gets choice of a six pack of Marshall's beer or a free lunch at choice of downtown restaurant.

My guess:
Obama 294
Romney 244

I am going out on a limb, and guessing that Obama takes Virginia.

Obama 303
Romney 235

I think the state level trends over the past few days are favorable to Obama, but I'm sticking with my earlier 290 forecast. I wouldn't be shocked to see 300-330, but I don't think it's likely Obama hold Virginia and flips Florida back, even given the numbers in the snap polls last night, which were very favorable among Hispanic voters and women.

While Romney still has an outside chance, I think his window of opportunity is closing fast. Opinion just seems very hard to shift lately, and present polling has Obama winning.

So:

Obama 290
Romney 248

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Only if Romney wins Ohio and Wisconsin.

I made guesses....two of them!  And I was serious about them.  (OMG!!...do you realize just how hard it is not to commentary?)
