Pundits Vs. Machine: Who Did Better At Predicting Campaign Controversies?

What happens when two human political journalists compete against a computer over which can do the best job predicting the issues that will dominate the news in the presidential election? Well, you are about to find out. The two humans and the computers each got to predict five issues per presidential candidate that would get the most coverage in the news and on the blogs between Sept. 12 and Oct. 12. (The time frame covers only a few days of the release of the Donald Trump's lewd comments about women. So the final list isn't dominated by that controversy.) The two humans are Simon Maloy of Salon.com and Jonah Goldberg of the National Review.
