Join the DU Primary Prognostication Pool!
Edited on Mon Feb-25-08 06:53 PM by jgraz
Here are the rules:

Respond below with your guess on the point margins of the popular vote in next Tuesday's primaries. For example:

Ohio: Hillary by 5
Texas: Obama by 7
Rhode Island: Obama by 10
Vermont: Obama by 8

By responding, you are agreeing to make a $10 contribution to DU in the name of the winner. This is on the honor system. (If someone wants to make up a DU Pool Winner avatar, that would be very cool)

The winner will be whoever is closest to the actual margins in Texas and Ohio. Rhode Island and Vermont will be used for tie-breaking only. In the unlikely event of an exact tie, posting time will decide the winner.

Once the results are in, I'll send everyone a PM with the name of the winner. You can then make your $10 donation in their name.


Duplicate entries will be disqualified, so please check the thread before posting.

You have until the start of tomorrow's debate to respond. I'll make another post closing the entries at that time.



OK DUers, start your prognosticating!!



(Oh, and please rec to get as many people involved as possible.)

OK, if we don't get five participants by tomorrow night, I'll cancel it. Seemed like a fun idea to me. :shrug:
