The BAT Challenge: Predict the Vote!

My location has not yet been ascertained to my satisfaction, but there's still time for players David, Deborah, and Ellen to guess!

In the meantime, here's an challenge to bring some excitement to Election Day.

First, predict the popular vote balance by percentage between John McCain and Barack Obama. Politico currently puts it at 52 Obama/41 McCain.

Second, predict the electoral vote. Right now Politico predicts a 353-185 Obama victory.

Third, predict the time and date of the concession speech.

Best guess gets a point. Anyone who does better than I do gets a point. Your deadline for guessing is 11:59pm EST on Monday, November 3, 2008. As usual, anyone can play. Just make sure you use a distinctive moniker so that you are not confused with the other players.
