November 7, 2000 - Election Day
7:50 pm The Associated Press declares Vice President Al Gore the victor in Florida, based on Voter News Service projections from exit polls. The major TV networks call Florida for Gore between 7:50 and 8:00pm.
9:30 pm Florida begins to look more uncertain as the vote totals accumulate more in favor of Texas Gov. George Bush. Bush, talking with reporters, says "The networks called this thing awfully early, but the people actually counting the votes are coming up with a different perspective. So we're pretty darn upbeat about things."
10 pm Networks begin retracting the projection that Gore wins Florida; the state reverts to too close to call.

Bush 53%, 55 Senators
Election Predictions 2004:
Exit poll projections were held back Tuesday night, November 2, 2004 as the Associated Press and Network Media outlets were still stinging from early faulty projections in the 2000 Presidential Election.
First results began to be broadcast at 8:24pm election night with Florida again being the first state to be called but this time for President Bush with exit polls predicting a 54-45 percent margin for the incumbent President.
Results quickly followed from Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia showing an even larger percentage for the incumbent President.
At 9:17 pm, a flurry of exit poll predictions from several States, including Ohio, confirmed the trend and before the West Coast poll closing time of 11pm Eastern, a majority of media outlets had predicted that President George Walker Bush would be elected to a second term.
A total of 35 states with 348 electoral votes were in the Bush column, while 15 states and the District of Columbia, with 190 electoral votes fell to Senator Kerry.
Republicans also picked up a majority of the contested Senate seats, ending up with a 55-44-1 result and also kept the majority in the House of Representatives.
Bush wins:
Arkansas 6 electoral votes
Arizona 10
Alabama 9
Alaska 3
Colorado 9
Florida 27
Georgia 15
Illinois 21
Indiana 11
Iowa 7
Kansas 6

North Carolina 15
Ohio 20
Oklahoma 7
Tennessee 11
South Carolina 8
South Dakota 3
West Virginia 5
Texas 34
Virginia 13
Utah 5
Wisconsin 10
Wyoming 3

California 55
Maryland 10
New Jersey 15
New York 31
Oregon 7
Pennsylvania 21
Washington 11
Connecticut 7
Delaware 3
D.C. 3
Hawaii 4
Maine 4
Massachusetts 12
Rhode Island 4
Vermont 3
In the eight highly contested Senate races, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota, Colorado and Illinois, Republicans swept all but Illinois.
So I write fiction…sue me!
Besides if my predictions are widely inaccurate….you will experience overwhelming joy at my discomfiture….
Amicus the predictable…
