What time will John McCain concede?

What will the final electoral vote count be?

What will the voter turnout be?

Tie breaker:

What will the Popular vote be?

Up to 5 winners will get a TalkLeft 4th Amendment Tote. My prediction yesterday: Obama either wins 383 to 155 or 356 to 182

    John McCain... (5.00 / 0) (#2)
    by Ellis on Tue Nov 04, 2008 at 07:56:44 PM EST
    ...will concede when Hell freezes over. He's a man and an American and they don't give up. They never quit, never yield, never face reality. He'll still be fighting long after they've put padlocks on his straightjacket.

    My quick answers: (none / 0) (#1)

    What time will John McCain concede?

    Just after California is called, say 11:30 EST.

    What will the final electoral vote count be?

    381 Obama, 157 McCain

    What will the voter turnout be?

    2004 +15-20%

    Tie breaker:

    What will the Popular vote be?

    Obama gets about 70M votes McCain gets about 62M.

    My preductions. (none / 0) (#3)

    McCain concedes: never

    Electoral votes:  Obama wins 312.  What remains goes to McCain.

    Voter turnout:  Breaks all records.  Let's say 18% above 2004 numbers.

    What will popular vote be?  No idea.  Wild guess:  Obama 68 mil to McCain 62 mil

    Guess (none / 0) (#4)

    Obama is catching up fast in votes as the Dem areas come in. Apparently he's outperforming Webb in the precincts that are in.

    I remember that Webb only passed Allen in the last 10% of precincts in counting there..

    Gotta try and win a TL Tote (none / 0) (#6)

    My college age daughter could always use a Talk Left tote :)

    Concedes at 12:02 ET (letting most of Alaska polls close)

    Final electoral vote 354-184

    Voter turnout 78%

    Pop Vote Obama 53.6%
                 McCain 47.0%
                 and a few strange ones for the rest
