AND remember them from one day to the next. Probably never. Sigh. Sorry Chris. You were amazingly on target. Props to Susie for having you posting here.

Your election predictions truly are awesome! You must be really smart or something. Yeah, um, Susie…with Clinton winning by 9.38% you were only off by 0.24%.

Actually lambert…there are mathematical terms such as ‘floor’ which always round down.

thus floor(9.99) =9
or in ruby (which is my preferred language), it would be
9.99.floor = 9

but the very definition of rounding would absolutely be
9.50000001 = 10

That is, 9 does not round up to 10. 9.5 does not round up to 10. 9.9 does not round up to 10. 9.99 does not round up to 10..... Let’s remember that a subset of the Obama rules applies to rounding.

That is, 9 does not round up to 10.

9.5 does not round up to 10.

9.9 does not round up to 10.

9.99 does not round up to 10…..

Also - the final margin appears to be 10% - I'm not sure of the significance of crossing the 10% - everyone's got an opinion on that but it seemed to move Wolf Blitzer.

Doesn't that erase the argument that his voters will not vote for her in the general? If they missed the primary why would you consider they will come out in force in the general? The argument lacks substance if true. Did I hear correctly that only 1 in 10 registered black voters came out to cast a ballot?
