Poblano,

I compared your model's margins to the final margins (rounded, a bit lazily). The results, at intervals of 3%, came out like this:

Clearly, the model seems to far, far understimate Clinton in the southeastern part of the state. I doubt this is a coincidence. Will you be adjusting it for Kentucky?

Most of the dark-green counties seem to have an explanation. Brown has an arts colony. Benton had remarkably low turnout; only 4% above Kerry, the second-lowest relative gain in the state. The rest are a little unclear. Montgomery seems to have a small college. White and especially the highly populated Elkhart are surprising though.

Great model, and I hope you continue to develop it, considering the new results in future analysis. I especially look forward to seeing it out West where cultural voting seems a little murkier.

Thanks as always for your excellent work.

If Hillary won Indian and Pennsylvania, those residents IQs have suddenly dropped! What are you people thinking. What makes you think Hillary is in it for YOU??? Can't you all see she hasn't accomplished anything being senator of NY? or as wife of a former president? Everything she has done in the state of NY has hurt New Yorker working class. What part of "Obama" and "Get over yourselves" (to PA residents) do you not understand???

These county by county projections are a fantastic way to keep track of how the candidates are doing vs. expectations (C+5%). Looks like your county projections are remarkably accurate with CNN reporting 36% precincts reporting. Obama seems to be doing a little better in his counties and Clinton seems to be significantly outperforming in south Indiana (Limbaugh effect?). All else seems fairly close.

I would hop Obama does better than +2 in Lake County. With Gary I think he probably should.
