The Wisdom of Crowds

(from dKos:)

9,493 of you made predictions for tonight’s prediction contest. The average of all those predictions is:
57.21 Democratic Senate seats
39.96 Republican Senate seats
255.43 Democratic House seats
169.47 Republican House seats
351.69 Obama Electoral Votes
189.91 McCain Electoral Votes
52.79 Obama Popular Vote Percentage
45.14 McCain Popular Vote Percentage

It will be interesting to see how close those averages reflect the final totals. If you believe anything James Surowiecki says in The Wisdom of Crowds, it’ll be damn close.
