2012 Election Predictions

Let's start with the presidential election. Here are my state by state predictions. Maine and Nebraska can be split, but I am not predicting they will be. The states are listed in order of time that the polls close, so this is the order you'll see them be announced (either called or "too close to call") on your news network of choice on Tuesday:

Here's my Senate picks. The center lists the open seats, light blue is incumbent Democrats, light red is incumbent Republicans, light green is the incumbent independent (that's Bernie Sanders, who caucuses with the Democrats. I picked him to be reelected and added that to the Democrat win column. Similarly, in Maine I picked independent former Governor Agnus King to win and caucus with the Democrats), and grey is open seats where the incumbent is not running for reelection:

So there you go. We'll see how I do next week.

Braverman Power Rankings: Week 5


Haddie gets 1 over Amber, because who knows when she'll next be on. But it's really too close to call.

SNL Sitcom Web

This is charting which SNL alums have appeared on different comedies (current and Rob, cuz I realized I had put it in there too late). You should be able to move each item around and see what else it is connected to. If anyone knows a better way to create a web, let me know and I'll get you the data (the spread sheet is included below, click it for a full view).

Braverman Power Rankings: Week 3


I think Hank's daughter's name is Ruby, but I'm not sure. I have no idea what Matt Lauria's character's name is. And if Sarah was team Peeta instead of team Gale, Peeta would have replaced Justin Bieber.
