It's brave to make predictions, but I'd like it if you did a follow up showing how close or how cockamamie these predictions were. If the electoral vote is real close, as most predict, I'd like you to make a vow not to use wild predictors like this guy in the future.

It doesn't take a stat course to figure out that the time MONEY and energy invested in these predictions is ridiculous. The stats never provide a true depiction of registered voters. It is said the polls are conducted with the MOST likely voters! The persona of the most likely voter has changed drasticly and it is my hope that this elections as each election before has done proves that these polls are purely a BIG waste.
