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.
