predict the results   Add Comment Mar 16th, 2008 at 09:00am
Good morning, and welcome to day 7 of the campaign.

As is tradition here at MikeSmit.com, I'm running a 'betting pool' where you predict not just who wins, but the margin of victory. It's lots of good clean fun.

If you want to participate, first pick your winners. We ignore spoiled and blank ballots. Also, sad to say we won't be predicting the VP Ed / Grad Senate races this year, as feedback last year indicated that yes/no votes for candidates were completely uninteresting.

Then, fill out this form. You can choose your privacy settings. I won't be publishing everyone's individual guesses beforehand; rather, I'll publish my own guess, and some numbers in terms of who the peanut gallery predicts will win. Then I'll publish the winners once the results are announced.

I have most of my own predictions in mind already, but I still have some thinking to do. I'll close the form to submissions once voting starts next Tuesday.

I should tell you, I've won for two straight years - calling the races to within .2% at times, and on average to within 2% - but there are other very strong contenders, like Jen Bond. Every year is different - this year it could be you.
