National Presidential Election contest thread

Obama - 287 (but I'm secretly hoping for the 269-269 scenario).

In that case.

Congress chooses the President and the Senate the Vice President

Romney/Biden?

Romney/Obama? LMAO

Personally I'd like to see Ryan/Jackson with Jackson occupying the Mayo Clinic

In that case... the House picks Romney

and the GOP in the Senate will require a supermajority, in turn, nobody recieves 60 votes and the speaker of the house will be the new vice president.

Different than what I had reported earlier this morn but for obvious reasons makes much more sense. Need to stop watching WGN in the morning I guess?

WOW ---- +2 Gallup Obama bounce + RAND: Obama +4, UPI: Obama +2, YOUGOV: Obama +2, IBD: Obama +2, Reuters: Obama +1 #POLLS

Geesh, maybe Reuters is gonna be right on their electoral college prediction. Especially if Donald Trump and Richard Murdock continue to represent the Republican Party these last 13 days.

Donald Trump does need to shut his pie hole if Romney wants to win this thing.

no supermajority needed. in case of a tie, biden would break it. so you potentially could have romney as prez, biden as vice.

Do you realize that the entire source of the "Is Obama a Muslim?" thing was completely made up and started by a Hillary secondary campaign worker, who sent it out in an e-mail from the campaign? And Hillary had a fit about it, and ordered it stopped.

[Rudeboyelvis]

Rasmussen’s polling (all conducted during the past week except for in Pennsylvania) shows Romney ahead in Florida (by 5 percentage points), Virginia (by 3 points), Colorado (by 4 points), and New Hampshire (by 2 points). It shows Obama ahead in Pennsylvania (by 5 points), Wisconsin (by 2 points), and Nevada (by 2 points). It shows Ohio and Iowa tied.

The nation has gotten wind of Riot's impending banishment and is responding in force!

[Riot]

Let's look at the polls Hooves posted:

Gallup: Romney falling, drops 1, Obama rising, up 1

Ras: holding

UPI: Obama rising, continuing rise; Romney continues trend drop

ABC: Romney ahead by 1/2 point.

Don't worry, Hooves - on the evening of November 6, you'll be grateful I offered you the alternative deal to only leave Politics and not all of Derby Trail in 13 days, out of my sympathy for your friends and handicapping here

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

I would hope you indeed give a **** about this place, but I don't particularly care what you think.

Yes, I know how very special you are (having personally thanked you for your winners in the past, btw, which you seem to forget in your repetitive rudeness), and that's why I offered to you to change the bet you made to be loser not having to leave Dee Tee - which you accepted.

Because watching you make a bet that is virtually sure to lose, causing you to have to leave Dee Tee to keep your word, would be rather unfair to you, as I said yesterday.

So yeah, Hooves, it does come down to me or you a week from Tuesday, because that's the bet you made.

And I certainly won't miss you being an unrepentant rude cursing jack.ass here in Politics.

[Riot]

You can enter (or change your entry) until next Tuesday (1 week before election)

311 Romney - joeydb
291 Obama - hi im god
288 Obama - Riot
287 Obama - Ocala Mike
269 tie to Romney - clipclop

Last day to enter contest, election one week from today.

So far, I think Joey will win - but the winner with that electoral vote total will be Obama, not Romney (which means Joey still wins!)

See first post in thread for rules - just post the electoral college result of winner, without going over, you do not have to pick winner. Picking correct winner is tie-breaker.

Entries so far, the electoral vote total of winner 2012 Presidential:

311 Romney - joeydb
291 Obama - hi im god
288 Obama - Riot
287 Obama - Ocala Mike
269 tie to Romney - clipclop

I like where I'm sitting, strategically. If Obama wins a close one, it's all me!

The electoral count closest to the winner "wins" first - the correct Pres. pick only comes into play to break a tie.

If Ipsos-Reuter Obama electoral blowout occurs, Joey wins!
