364-163!

The final score, ladies and gentlemen, is:

Barack OBAMA
365 EVs

defeats

John McCAIN
173 EVs

(from fivethirtyeight.com)

And the predictions were:

Palmer Stoat (8 Jun): Obama 328 def McCain 210
Jimmy.H (9 Jun): Obama 297 def McCain 241
jo172 (9 Jun): Obama 276 def McCain 262
Refried Noodle (11 Jun): Obama 291 def McCain 247
Juddism (8 Oct): Obama 364 def McCain 174
Mr Q (9 Oct): Obama 338 def McCain 200
finders (11 Oct): Obama 340 def McCain 198
Bomber32 (11 Oct): Obama 353 def McCain 185
stuart27 (11 Oct): Obama 353 def McCain 185
Freo Big Fella (22 Oct): Obama 364 def McCain 174
DaveW (4 Nov): Obama 364 def McCain 174

Nobosy picked the exact margin, which is understandable given Obama's number includes one of Nebraska's EVs, which are rarely split up.

Juddism was the first to float the idea that Obama would reach 364 in early October, and correctly predicted it would be a win in Indiana that would take him there. Freo Big Fella and DaveW each picked the same margin and map, all correct if you swap who wins MO and IN.

I don't think AP has project Missouri yet.

But yeah, looks like McCain carried the state.
