Whoever beats my prediction by the most points, gets a free Beatle Prize!
No prize, if no one does.
here are the rules:
1. Pick the number of electoral votes for the winning candidate = 50 points
2. Pick the popular vote percentage of the winning canndidate =30 points
3. Tie-breaker: Pick the winner of the following states: Viginia, New Mexico, Colorado, Ohio, Fla. and Pa. = 10 points each.
Contest ends Monday, midnight, November 3rd.
PBW's picks: Obama= 312 electoral votes
Obama= 53%
Obama= Wins Va. NM, Colo. Fla + Pa.
McCain wins Ohio and a lead wrench.
(It's a very nice Beatle Prize !)

I think Obama will win...
1. 294 Electoral votes
2. With VA, NM, CO, PA.
3. McCain will take FL and OH
And finally, Obama will receive 52% of the popular vote. That's funny, PBW......Acorn rep.

Hey Mervap; Be sure to add your percentage of the vote total for the winner ( it's a 30 point question!) Lampie; looking forward to your movie review! 2/3 your legal to play the contest AND I'll have my ACORN rep contact you to get a vote.  |

I just read an interesting comment on a blog...someone was wondering why, after 8 years of the Bush administration....why the heck is Obama not at 98% in the polls right now? Makes you think, doesn't it?  |

Congrats to Mervap, for runner-up status. Results show, I just have to keep that autographed McCartney-Wings T-Shirt - oh well. (LOL) Like Stevie sang in concert this summer when predicting Obama's victory - "Signed, Sealed, Delivered!"  |

Mervap;
If you make it out to Alaska, we can arrange for you to recieve the plumber's wrench, Joe's not licensed to handle.
2/3; You get this for free: Re-file that "dream" under nightmare!
Lampie; I'll tell Paul - you didn't even TRY to win it! (LOL).
