How 'bout we get started on the predictions? We need fodder to mock and taunt each other's wildly inaccurate posting for the next 4 years.

Rules of the game, which are non-binding but whateva: Today is july 12th. You're allowed to modify your map no more that once a month.

Suggestion: go to this link to RCP's map, then print screen and upload to imgur or any other img hosting site, and share.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I don't know enough of US internal politics to play with that map.  I'll just say I predict and hope that Biden wins.

You think Biden will be more of an authoritarian than Trump has (attempted to) ?  :hmm:

Politicians are supposed to be smart, selfless, hardworking, patriotic, virtuous, and hold themselves to the highest possible standards.  Trump falls short and gives politicians a bad name.

Ohio to Biden... Ambitious.

Btw how do you make sure your img is not huge? You shrink it before uploading?

Trump 279 to 259.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I predict Wyoming will remain solidly behind Trump.

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I basically got Zoupa's map, hoping it's a worst case scenario.

I would think Arizona would certainly flip before Ohio would.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Nah. Remember 2004, when we weren't sure who won til the next morning because Ohio was too close.

I'm clearly an idiot as I can't get the pic to show, but my predictions are here: https://flic.kr/p/2jkU7YR

Figured it out! :D

I met a man who wasn't there
