Good catch. I fixed the numbers (the formatting’s still messed up, but I’ve certainly spent WAY too much time on this already…)

7-Election’s Texas projections were way off… maybe that’s why their 7-election site was taken down so quickly. It now points to their main site. Too bad.

Fun promotion… lots of cheap/free press. I think 7-Eleven only missed the boat by letting Starbucks get the FREE COFFEE for voting buzz on election day. 7-Eleven should have pushed that… maybe with some special Obama blend.

I’d say you’re a little off in Texas. The numbers are reversed – McCain took home 55% to Obama’s 44%. 7-E predicted a 62% win for President Obama (I wish!).

hehe. Good call, Sean.

Forget the Internet. It was Obama’s ability to consume more Big Gulps than McCain without having to go on Flomax that turned the election.
