Well,

1) The problem was that they did not see sufficient evidence to conclude Gore was surging massively; certainly he was closing the gap, but the polls had all agreed for a long time that Bush was in the lead

2) Do not bash other predictions unless you have proof of your own and their accuracy

I don't imagine jfern called it perfectly, but hey, if he can prove that he did, I'll give him props.

Could you point me to evidence that was your position?

Actually, their ranking of Bush's performance by state was pretty good-- it was just their popular vote estimate that was off.

I like bold predictions. Always picking a tie is a cheap way out. When you're wrong you can still claim to have been close.
