Results of predicting the 2013 New York City Primary by Money

The predictions based on candidate with the most contributions where 47% correct

That means that 53% of the time candidates with less in contributions actually won in this particular election.

For example, Quinn led in contributions but was not close in the election results.

Here's the matches:  There are still a few unresolved races that might bring the percentage up.  But it appears that money isn't everything :)
