I was optimistic that Gore would pull it out.

In my political science class, I actually predicted the opposite of what officially happened. I said that I thought Bush was going to win the popular vote but Gore was going to win the Electoral College. At the time this made sense as most national polls had Bush 2-3 percent ahead but Gore was leading in Florida by 1-2 points in most polls there.

Ultimately I thought Gore would at least win Tennessee and thus not need Florida, but I still thought Florida would go to Gore.
