First to guess closest/correctly gets $5 from me via PayPal. (Mods please remove this if I'm not allowed to).

Last guess by 6pm EST (when the first polls close).

Feel free to add other predictions too (but I'm only paying out for EC)

Me:
Romney: 220
Obama: 318

(I voted Romney)

That's CO and VA going Obama.

Disclaimer: I might go drinking tomorrow, but feel free to point out the winner or whatever if I'm piss drunk by the time the results are in. I'll certainly figure it out Wednesday and pay out or something.

Edit: Extended to 6:55 pm EST. Apparently I was mistaken about the earliest poll closings. We'll leave a 5 minute buffer so no one has any projections to work with.

Closed early because results seem to be trickling in already, although polls aren't closed yet.

Obama 332 (I'm guessing that Obama wins Florida).
Romney 206

Obama wins 50.8% of popular vote.

Obama: 319
Romney: 219

I think it will actually be 303/235, but someone already called that, so here's a guess with Obama capturing Florida but losing Virginia.

Romney's people believe he will win.
Obama's people that he will win.
Which side will be the more gracious loser?

Republicans will be the more gracious losers if Romney loses...if Obama loses...I don't want to go into work cause I work in a Predominately black neighborhood that is strong with Obama support...

And no, I'm not a republican. I just know the neighborhood I work in.

Maybe the Republicans you know, but the Tea Party and secret racist and Kenyon Konspiracy folks? Hey, there have been mulitple instances of Obama being lynched in effigy and none of Romney. Do the math.

If that happens all of a sudden conservatives will favor getting rid of electoral college
