Yes I Can

And now for some selfish bragging:

My electoral prediction - as per my comments on Derek's blog - was 365-173. Here's Nate Silver, statistician extraordinaire, from FiveThirtyEight.com weighing in on the final tally:

The Omaha World-Herald and several other news organizations have called Nebraska's Second Congressional District, which incorporates Omaha and some of its suburbs and exurbs, for President-Elect Barack Obama...

...This brings Obama's haul from Tuesday evening to 365 electoral votes...



In the interest of full disclosure, I guessed Missouri and Indiana wrong. Thought MO would be blue and IN red. Providentially, each state garners eleven electoral votes, meaning my overall call was still spot-on.
