The annoying thing about this analogy is that if I'm going to be the next president, the probability of my being president is 1, and for everybody else, it's 0.

The annoying thing about this analogy is that if I'm going to be the next president, the probability of my being president is 1, and for everybody else, it's 0. But we don't know anything about it until we go through the process of observing the outcome. Or do we? I bet somebody does know with 100% certainty who will be president, that's how undemocratic I believe the process has become.
