Obama's Projections Becomes Reality

[aaroh]

Remember a few months back an Obama projection spreadsheet was leaked to Bloomberg News showing their projections for each primary results. Well I looked at the actual results so far and compared it to the spreadsheet and guess what? Each prediction of a win or loss came true! Except for New Mexico where Hillary won by a narrow margin.



Actual Results: http://origin.barackobama.com/resultscenter/

Take a look at the next 3 primaries (Guam,NC,Indiana), they have projected a clean sweep. The margin predictions have been close too. So if this spreadsheet is any indication of the upcoming contests, Obama is well on his way to take out Indiana too where Hillary is favored to win.

Full spreadsheet can be downloaded here: http://ia341038.us.archive.org/1/items/Obamaexcel/obamacampaignexcel.xls

They're doing better than expected:
Predicted pledged delegates gained (from Iowa to Pa): 1439
Actual pledged delegates gained (from Iowa to Pa) : 1494
underestimated by : 55

1. Huge underestimation on Hawaii.

I didn't realize...wow.

2. They were being conservative

[aaroh]

6. they didn't project a virtually uncontested effort from Hillary after super Tuesday

3. Those were definitely conservative estimates in some states

I think in North Carolina Obama will win by more then then think, West Virginia and Kentucky are going to be blowouts for Clinton just because of demographics. Indiana and Oregon are going to be the ones to watch. If he wins both of those it's over.

5. Given that they overestimated the popular vote in PA

..they might also be shooting a little over the target on IN.

7. Yes, I think so as well

Indiana will be a heck of a lot closer then that. I'm hoping he takes both of the May 6th states and ends this.

4. Hope they are right about Indiana and North Carolina too.

8. he won Maine too.

He has it for Hillary.

11. Which is kind of funny because it was a blowout win for him... 63% of the vote

:)

9. The totals look like Clinton will win

The bottom line says Clinton will win the delegate race 1093-1067. How is that optimistic?
