— Chris Smith (@smitty_one_each) November 5, 2012
Smitty tweeted to add the 8 unassigned electoral votes to Romney, awarding him a whopping 362 to Obama’s 176. And his post at TheOtherMcCain.com was updated to include his popular vote estimate of:
- Romney: 59%
- Obama: 39%
- Other: 2%
[Thanks for the post, Smitty!]
And @SissyWillis of Sisu decided to piggyback on Smitty’s entry. So if Smitty wins, Sissy will have to read the book prize of his choice over his shoulder.

That concludes all of the *prize-eligible* entries. We had 88 in total. After I vote, I will a few people that missed the deadline but wished to be included.
UPDATE: I forgot to move my own map over here!
My prediction was Obama getting 225 electoral votes and Romney 313, the popular vote being 47.57% for Obama and 52.16% for Romney.
My great thanks to those that did a write-up of the contest at their sites:
Dan Riehl of RiehlWorldView.com
Smitty of TheOtherMcCain.com
RD Brewer of AceOfSpadesHQ
And the linkage was much appreciated from:
Stacy McCain of the eponymous TheOtherMcCain writing at the AmericanSpectator and, of course, TheOtherMcCain.
Jammie at JammieWearingFools
Thanks for sending your readers my way for the contest.














































Can’t wait to see all the entries (including mine lol) It’s going to get interesting!!! Thanks again for doing this Pru!
My thanks go to all of you for entering the contest and making it such a success! The enthusiasm to take back the White House is so evident from these maps.
