I Lost the Pool...

I bet on 338 electoral college votes--that was my magic number. Then my friend tried to Price-Is-Right me with a bet of 339--but I wouldn't let him. So he bet on 350... and ultimately won.

But I still maintain I was right about that magic number of 338. Because in the Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh Month (literally, since the major news networks called the election at 11:00PM EST), Obama had 338 electoral college votes. So it was... in the Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh Month... and just in the nick of time.
