2012 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CONTEST:

Much like the Super Bowl contest, it's time for the election contest.  Here are the rules.  Cut-off time to make your prediction is Tuesday, October 23rd, midnight eastern time or 9pm Pacific. I'm cutting it off two weeks before the election, because if somebody waited till election eve, the polls would make it easier.  You have to predict which candidate will win by how many percentage points.  Each tenth of a point is worth one point.  Plus you have to guess how many electoral votes your candidate will get.  You lose a point by how many electoral points you are off.

Here is an example AND THIS IS ALSO MY PRECICTION:

OBAMA WINS BY 4.1%  ELECTORAL COLLEGE:  297

Now let's say Obama wins by 2.8% and gets 281 electoral college points, I'd be off by 13 in the percentage and 16 in the EC for a total miss of 29.  Whoever has the shortes miss is the winner AND ALL OTHERS IN THE CONTEST SHOULD CONGRATULATE HIM/HER AND NOT CRITICIZE THAT PERSON FOR A MONTH.

NOW IF YOU HAVE THE LARGEST MISS, YOU MUST SAY 5 NICE THINGS ABOUT THE CANDIDATE YOU PICKED AGAINST (4 Genuinely nice things and one sarcastic nice thing is allowed).

If anybody has any suggestions, say so.

Once again, my pick is Obama by 4.1%  Electoral College:  297

For those of you that like to handicap, here's an interesting site:

Good contest Promark12......

I'll play ..

Romney wins by 3.2%    Electoral College: 286

Promark:  O   4.1%  297

Slim:        R   3.2%  286

CANO, HOW COULD YOU?  Not another election that ends up in the Supreme Court!

Promark     O  4.1%  297

Slim           R  3.2%  286

Cano          tie       R-279

"A SHIRTLESS JUSTIN BIEBER" or "A SHIRTLESS RACHEL MADDOW" . . .  Cano, you can tell the difference?

Promark       O 4.1 %   297

Slim             R 3.2       286

Cano            Tie       R 279

Depeche       O 1.6      281

Anent           O 5.6      364

Romney 51.6

Romney 305

UNLESS YOU'RE PREDICTING ROMNEY WINS BY 51.6%, THEN WE GOT PROBLEMS.  If that happens, then it came out that the birth certificate was a fake!

UPDATE:

PROMARK       O    4.1%    297

SLIM                R    3.2       286

CANO                   TIE     R-279

DEPECHE        O    1.6       281

ANENT              O    5.6      364

CRUSHER         R     2.4      330

Anybody dare to predict one candidate wins the popular vote while the other wins the EC?

Promark12,

Why do you think Don juan is conspicuously declining to enter ?
