Doug Schoen (pseudoliberal pollster) and his pre-election predictions

Doug Schoen goes around participating in conservative news outlets, where they pretend that because he was once a Clinton pollster he will always be a "liberal." Anyway, here were his pre-election predictions regarding the Presidential elections:

1) He would be "surprised" if Obama won each of "Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania".
Obama went on to win those by 7%, 9%, 8% and 5%. Dumbass.

2) There would be a recount in at least 1 of the battleground states (there was none).

3) PA was within 3% (it was not).

4) The General Election would be within half a percent (it was not).
