As I recall, you were really close in 2000, but to refresh my memory, what was your final estimate?

Settle down! We have a long way to go and these are only five states!

Alabama has nine electoral votes, not the mere three you've tabulated.

Yep. Now I think you were being funny, and I didn't catch on. Sometimes I am a bit too quick on the trigger.

I like seeing the individual states because that is how you have to plan the campaign...not on total nationwide vote.

Check your table. You have the wrong number of electoral votes for AL.

While I recorded things all the way down to the states that were essentially tossups, in the titles I put the sum of the states that were not essentially too close to make any sort of prediction.

In the last of those, posted 11/6, I had it as 227 electoral votes for Bush, with 178 for Gore and the rest tossups. When I factored in the tossups, I had Bush getting 276 electoral votes, Gore getting 239, with 23 electoral votes unassigned. In the one before that, posted 11/3, I had it as 209 apiece, with when I factored in the tossups it being 265 for Gore, 262 for Bush, with 11 completely unassigned.

Thanks for doing this analysis again. I really appreciated all that you did in 2000. It's a lot of work, no doubt.

Seriesly, though, Maine is a weird-ass state. I grew up there and I still don't understand the politics. IIRC, GHWB came in 3rd in '92 in Maine. It's probably the most NASCAR of the New England states, yet the "private" Yankee view of religion predominates. There's a weird love-hate thing with the Bus(c)h series (get it?). The state GOP is piss poor in many respects but still does okay somehow, and whatsisname came from way back to finish respectably against Baldacci. There's no great love for Massachusetts in the Real Maine, but southern Maine IS Massachusetts, they're just not willing to admit it.

Good work!

This is going to be a nail biter!

The electors will make the difference again.

Yes, by 316 votes, he came in behind Perot.

Hi TomB. I am sorry, but I am not planning on doing a ping list this time. Too much to keep up with and I have less time now than ever before.

I'll create a ping list and ping folks to your installments if you wish.
