Electoral Sweepstakes

Hear we are, just prior to the first presidential debate, and it looks like a landslide in the Electoral College. I took note after the Republican Convention of the tally that seemed most likely in that august institution, one whose value I had questioned until the Democrats so dishonorably sowed the seeds of distrust in 2000. I have added some states (like MO, OH) that are still showing as Undecided, even though they are clearly trending toward Bush (i.e., coming to their senses).

Let's look at the Electoral Sweepstakes tallies:

09/05/2004 -- Bush 185 Kerry 190 Undecided 159

09/30/2004 -- Bush 299 Kerry 171 Undecided 64

And from the Electoral Vote Predictor (see http://www.electoral-vote.com/)
As of:
09/30/2004 -- Bush 280 Kerry 254
Final Prediction from Electoral Vote Predictor
11/02/2004 -- Bush 350 Kerry 178

Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets!
