Here’s a new site that I’ll post on the side as well.  It’s fivethirtyeight.com.  The site was founded by a baseball statistician.  With statistics, one tries to find the probabilities and possibilities of future events.  Baseball is loaded with statistics and they are (usually) reliable.  Well, what if we applied the same concepts, formulas, and ideas to this election?  Check it out.

The stats are updated frequently and statistics are just facts, meaning they are non-biased.  Of course, part of this comes from polls, but with statistics, you try to take out the bias by looking at the “house” projection.  It’s part of the statistic lingo but it’s an interesting site.  By the way, the site predicts Obama winning with a 392 electoral votes.  However, this is only an 89% chance of winning and the popular vote says that he’s at 51%.
