Chris Bowers, Joe Gandelman and Walter Olson were the top finishers in NationalJournal.com's prediction poll of top political bloggers for the 2008 election.

Bowers, of OpenLeft, and Olson, of Overlawyered, prevailed on the left and right, respectively. Gandelman, of The Moderate Voice, had the high score overall outside of the poll's left-right divide.

For purposes of this contest, Missouri was awarded to John McCain even though official declarations had not been made by Wednesday afternoon. In House and Senate races, candidates who were ahead were considered the winners. One point was awarded for each correct answer. The Electoral College tally was used as a tiebreaker.
