Predicted
Way back into March, my best friend Chris and I made our predictions for the presidential election. Since the election is now over (mostly), it's time to review have well we did:
| | Chris's Prediction | James's Prediction | Actual results |
| President | McCain | The democrat | Obama |
| States won by Democratic nominee | 14 | 20 | 27 |
| Senate seats won by Dems | 0 | +4 | +6 (maybe +9) |
| House of Representatives | -8 | +10 | +23 |
| Governors won by Dems | -2 | +2 | +1 |
So, in every category, I was closer, and except for governors, even I was too pessimistic.
