Judgment: President Elect Barack Obama has been elected the 44th president of the United States of America in convincing fashion, which the community correctly predicted. -- The Industry Standard

Original prediction:

The daily polls from Gallup reveal that the presidential candidates are currently in a dead-heat. As of this writing, Senators John McCain and Barack Obama are separated by 2 percentage points in the polls, with a margin of sampling error of ±3 percentage points.

Since the Democratic convention, Obama has seen his 8 point boost evaporate in short order as the media focuses on McCain’s surprise VP pick, Governor Sarah Palin.

With less than two months before the election, almost any news cycle could be poised to swing the election one way or the other. The US electorate seems more engaged than ever before, with more TV viewers tuning in to Barack Obama and John McCain’s convention speeches than the Academy Awards, or any “American Idol” finale.

As broadcast TV tries to regain its stature as a first-source medium for political events, the first presidential debate fast approaches on September 26, 2008, with two more to follow, and one debate for the VP candidates.

In the midst of the wars in Iraq and Afganistan, and troubling events in the financial sectors, Senators Obama (1, 2) and McCain (1, 2) have both attempted to explain their policy views on technology. The question remains, whose policies will reign over Silicon Valley in 2009 and beyond?

Prediction: Will Senator Barack Obama become the 44th president of the United States of America? Bets will close on November 3, 2008. Judgment will occur when one of the candidates publicly concedes defeat.
