Missouri and North Carolina were mirror images of each other in 2008 in that:
Obama won more votes than McCain in 2008 in North Carolina, but by a lesser margin than the difference between right-wing Barr and left-wing Nader. The right-leaning votes in North Carolina (McCain, Barr) were more than the left-leaning votes (Obama, Nader).
McCain won more votes in Missouri than did Obama, but the left-leaning votes in Missouri altogether (Obama, Nader) were more than the right-leaning votes in Missouri (McCain, Barr).
Except for Missouri and North Carolina -- and I even got NE-02 right -- I predicted the 2008 election in all states. Not figuring how the third-party candidates would do tripped me up for Missouri and North Carolina.
