Okay- get entries in by Monday midnight: Pick the electoral college margin, without going over, of winning candidate. You don't have to name candidate.

In case of tie, getting the winning candidate correct will be the tiebreaker

So far:

311 Romney - joeydb
291 Obama - hi im god
288 Obama - Riot
287 Obama - Ocala Mike
281 Obama - dalakhani
278 Romney - Rupert Pumpkin
277 Obama - Calzone Lord
274 Romney - Dylbert
273 Romney - Rudeboyelvis
269 tie to Romney - clipclop

C'mon guys, check fivethirtyeight, TPM, Ipsos, Gallup, etc. and place your final wagers

Pick the final electoral college count of the winning candidate.
You do not have to pick the winning candidate - only the electoral college vote count that candidate acquires.

There are 538 electoral votes. Thus your number must be a number between 270 (required to win) and 538.

No duplicate numbers - first come, first serve.

Winning number is closest to actual winning number without going over.

In case of ties, winner will be closest number under, with correct candidate chosen.

328 Romney - Old Dog
311 Romney - joeydb
292 Obama - Antitrust
291 Obama - hi im god
288 Obama - Riot
287 Obama - Ocala Mike
281 Obama - dalakhani
278 Romney - Rupert Pumpkin
277 Obama - Calzone Lord
274 Romney - Dylbert
273 Romney - Rudeboyelvis
269 tie to Romney - clipclop

Here comes the ROVE PATCH. In case you want to change your vote..

Last-minute Ohio voting machine software patch: If there's nothing to worry about, why are officials being secretive?


Last week, Bob Fitrakis and Gerry Bello at FreePress.org reported an important story concerning what they described as “uncertified ‘experimental’ software patches” being installed at the last minute on electronic vote tabulation systems in 39 Ohio counties.
