The Great Swing State Project Predictions Contest: 2008 Edition

Just as we did in 2006, the Swing State Project is having a downballot election prediction contest. We’ve handpicked fourteen hot House and Senate races (and one gubernatorial race) from all across the country for you to think hard about and submit your best guesses.

The rules are simple: Only one entry per person will be accepted (so if you post multiple revisions, we’re only going to look at your last post), submitted as a comment in this thread (e-mail submissions will be junked). Submissions will be accepted until midnight Eastern on Monday, November 3rd.

What we’re interested in is the final margin between the Democratic and Republican candidates (except for the tiebreaker), and the goal is to have the lowest score possible. So if you think that Debbie Cook will beat Dana Rohrabacher by a score of 55-45, what we care about is that you think it’s going to be D+10. If she wins 53-47, that’s D+6, so you get four “error points” added to your score. (Remember, fewer points = better.)

This also means that if Cook wins 50-40 (and third parties take the rest), you’ve still “nailed it” according to our system and get a perfect score of zero for the race. If, on the other hand, you call it D+10 and it winds up being R+10, you’ll get 20 points added to your score.

So let’s cut to the chase! Here are the races that we’ve selected:

WA-Gov: Gregoire (D) v. Rossi (R)

AK-Sen: Stevens (R) v. Begich (D)

MS-Sen-B: Wicker (R) v. Musgrove (D)

CA-46: Rohrabacher (R) v. Cook (D)

FL-25: M. Diaz-Balart (R) v. Garcia (D)

LA-01: Scalise (R) v. Harlan (D)

NE-02: Terry (R) v. Esch (D)

NH-01: Shea-Porter (D) v. Bradley (R)

NM-02: Tinsley (R) v. Teague (D)

NY-13: Straniere (R) v. McMahon (D)

OH-02: Schmidt (R) v. Wulsin (D)

PA-11: Kanjorski (D) v. Barletta (R)

TX-22: Lampson (D) v. Olson (R)

WY-AL: Lummis (R) v. Trauner (D)

And the tiebreaker:

MN-Sen: Coleman (R) v. Franken (D) v. Barkley (IP)

Ideally, your entries should look something like:

WA-Gov: D+6

AK-Sen: R+8

And so forth. However, for the tiebreaker (MN-SEN), please predict the EXACT FINAL SCORE for each candidate. You are free to predict final scores for the other races as well, but you’ll make our lives a lot easier if you list the expected margin first as shown above.

Once again, the deadline for your submissions is midnight Eastern on Monday — so get your predictions in soon. The top three finishers (ie, those with the lowest overall scores) will be treated to some of SSP’s favorite chocolate babka (as pictured here).

Have at it!

    MN-Sen: R+3 (with Coleman’s recent movement and Barkley’s decline).

    Very tough races, some standard bearers, but a lot of races that are under the rug, and hard to predict, upset races in other words.

    MS-Sen (special): D+2.

    I think I’m the only one here predicting a Musgrove win, so here’s my reasoning: The latest two polls showing Wicker up considerably both seem weird to me. Especially Ramussen has Obama doing better (!) than Musgrove. My guess is that Musgrove would be able to pull ~25% of the white vote, and win ~90% of African-Americans, to win in a squeaker. The lack of party ID on the ballots will definitely help him in a way the polls haven’t shown, too.

    I’m being fairly conservative here, although I’m also picking most of my numbers out of thin air. Definitely a hail mary effort.

  22. is something like Predict06.com for 2008.  Anybody know if there’s something like that out there again this cycle?  (I know Predict06 isn’t re-upping for this election.)

  29. I’m not good at this but there is one district that I am interested in so I’ll give it a try:

    IL-16: D+2?

    I think Obama could win this, the last of the moderately Republican north Illinois districts. But- will Don Manzullo’s Dem opponent score an upset victory?

  30. Note: These predictions are what I currently have on my blog. I will have updates tomorrow and next Monday, by 11:59 PM CST, and include races such as CA-46 and NE-02, which weren’t on my radar screen when I updated earlier this week. I will just put a guesstimate for those two, as well as AK-Sen, since I finished my updates just before I heard of Stevens’ conviction. The others (except for LA-01, which I haven’t kept track of at all) are based on formula predictions, and you are welcome to check them out on my blog. http://californianintexas.blog

  31. Every time I make a prediction, it goes HORRIBLY WRONG.

    No better way for us to LOSE all those races listed than for me to make a prediction on any of them.

    1. Maybe have a large chart with slots for each contest you guys just keep updating, and you put the percent reporting in parenthesis.  I think the best thing is one big thing with every piece of info possible, as opposed to dispersing it out over posts.  

      Just an idea.  Obviously, you guys know exactly what you’re doing with SSP!

    2. I’ve seen how you guys operate during a primary night. I can only imagine how you’ll organize on next Tuesday night, and just how many thousands upon thousands of posts there will be for all the races.

      Good luck

    As a bonus, and as a So. Nev. resident, I’ll add that Titus in NV-03 wins by a smaller margin than she should have.  Porter and Freedom’s Watch have been running vicious ads for three months, and the Titus/DCCC effort hasn’t been as sharp.  Still the demographics of the district are pulling against Porter and the Obama campaign will leave no Democratic stone unturned in our GOTV efforts…  I’ll give it a Titus +1 over Porter.
