For "Born to Guess the Winner" because your numbers were wrong in every case, so far.

Tom (assume that's you, right?) had Iowa at :

Clinton - 50%
Sander - 46%

That's a 4 point spread. In reality, IA was a dead heat, solved by handfuls of coin tosses that could have gone either way.

That wasn't a part of your numbers running, as evidenced by your notoriously inaccurate prediction:

Sanders, of course, is relying on Obama-esque turnout to bring him home. But Obama at this stage of the game in 2008 was in a virtual dead-heat with both Clinton and Edwards, and ultimately won by 8 points over both of them. Sanders would need to pull off similar turnout magic just to pull even with Clinton, and I don’t see that happening.

You had New Hampshire as follows:

Sanders - 57
Clinton - 43

A 14% spread.Essentially the same as the RCP Average (13.3%):

Again, you guessed the winner, but not the numbers.

The actual outcome was:

Sanders - 60
Clinton - 38

You were off by a full 8%!

You consistently inflate Hillary's numbers, and underestimate Bernie's. That's not what I would expect from someone who is "BTRTN."
