Ok. Time to discover the identity of our own Nostradamus. If you
made a guess, take the difference between the prediction and the actual result, then add all of the differences together. The winner will be the person with the smallest number.
So lets apply the formula on my prediction, which, as I said, was "nothing more than pulling numbers from my you-know-where" (and it showed):
Prediction Actual Result Difference
Dean 33 18 15
Gephardt 29 10.6 18.4
Kerry 20 37.6 17.6
Edwards 14 31.8 17.8
Total Score: 68.8
I think I'm in the running for "worst prediction on Daily Kos"...
