Well, we have come to the point where the rubber meets the road. We all have our opinions or gut feelings about what is going to happen in this election. Here is your chance to carve your opinions into stone, or at least, into FR's data base. Tomorrow, or whenever we find out the results, wouldn't it be nice to have the whole world know that you nailed it on the head?

I've picked ten races, just to make the post election math easier. Wanna play?

Hutchinson (R) - Pryor (D) Senate in Arkansas
Chambliss (R) - Cleland (D) Senate in Georgia
Coleman (R) - Mondale (D) Senate in Minnesota
Talent (R) - Carnahan (D) Senate in Missouri
Sununu (R) - Shaheen (D) Senate in New Hampshire
Dole (R) - Bowles(D) Senate in North Carolina
Thune (R) - Johnson (D) Senate in South Dakota
Simon (R) - Davis (D) Governor of California
Bush (R) - McBride (D) Governor of Florida
Ehrlich (R - Townsend (D) Governor of Maryland

OK..Ten races...how many will you get right?

No prizes in this FR contest except the bragging rights and a time/date stamp on your post url, to prove your prognostication prowess!

I am with Woofer on this. These are exactly my picks.

WOW! It seems we may have a tie.

"Jim Robinson ought to interview Rush on FreeRepublic!!!"

And vice versa...MUD

[steveegg]

You also forgot about MadIvan back in post #10 (2 posts after yours). As The Man at the track would say, "Hold All Tickets." <VBG>

BTW, I'm still giving up any claim I may have based on the probable final outcome in South Dakota.

WOAHHH...piggy-backin' on woofer's prescience!! Good work, my FRiends...MUD

How shall we break the tie?! Calling the percentages of Terrell's victory margin over Landrieu in Louisiana?! Or do I need to get the Lovable Fuzzball to sign another book?!

[steveegg]

Agreed. Maybe Rush would turn on the DittoCam and let at least the low-bandwidth feed go out for free.

[Mudboy Slim]

At $35 per year, the 24/7 access is a bargain, my FRiend...ask Santa to put it in yer stocking this year.

"Simon (R) - Davis (D) Governor of California"

"Dependent on voter fraud. If Davis can get away with a lot, he'll win."

YO, Ivan...what the heck is that?! A "it depends" prognostication?! We'll have to go to the judges fer a ruling...LOL!!

FReegards...MUD

BTW...Landru, how's Terry McAuliffe lookin' this morning?! BWAHAHAHAHAHA...I can smell Dem brats simmerin'...

[MadIvan]

We'll have to go to the judges fer a ruling...LOL!!

The judges and law enforcement should decide, rightly, that Gray Davis is a criminal. I suspect he has committed massive voter fraud in this election.

If it was an honest election, I suspect Simon would have won.

Regards, Ivan

MadIvan, you ol'dog! If left to me to decide, your thorough, cognitive and insiteful post would take the prize.

To Steveegg, if the chips fall the wrong way in SoDak, Mud may have to hold off mailing the book to Casa de Woofer. Redirection may be in order.

To LS, what can I say. No wait, I know exactly what to say

Get off my back! You're stooping my shoulders.

To Mudboy Slim, to be fair, I did pick Thune to win, best to await the recount results or the official certified results.I do appreciate the sentiments and would begrudge no one the award if L'il Tommy's Tim ended up as the winner in the Sodak race.

[MadIvan]

To be fair, I got the margin on Minnesota wrong. I thought that it would be closer and Mondale would subject the entire process to endless lawsuits.

Also I didn't factor in voter fraud in South Dakota. Ah well.

I am delighted also by the Republican victories in the statehouses of Georgia, Minnesota, and Hawaii, all surprises.

Regards, Ivan

[Landru]

"BTW...Landru, how's Terry McAuliffe lookin' this morning?!"

I dunno?
Like the *Alpha* Village Idiot?
Why don'tcha look in a mirror & lemme know what T-Mac sees, will ya? :o)

"BWAHAHAHAHAHA...I can smell Dem brats simmerin'..."

You can?
This happen often so early in the AM??
Hear any "voices," too?

Don't be counting your wursts so soon, son.

May I remind you the GOP looked very good in an off-year election for which I am as relieved as I am grateful; &, at least as much as you supposedly are?
But that's it, bucko.
As the real work begins right now, today & in earnest.

The next two years -- & the 2004 elections -- will be upon us with the snap of the fingers.
Which is exactly what I'm thinking about right about now.
Precisely what I wrote you -- privately -- earlier this morning as a matter of fact.

Of course, I realized your thinking abilities pretty much limited to what's happening within the next hour; so, it's not like I expected you to follow a rational train of thought occurring two hours earlier let alone one projected two years hence, anyway. ;^)

Please: I've a strictly a rhetorical question for you Mudboy; my, good neighbor patriot-extrodinaire & sometimes-friend.
Just exactly how the hell did you manage to go about confusing these election victories with a criminal indictment of T-Mac?

Truly remarkable, Mud.
Well, maybe "remarkable" is too strong a word, eh?
Perhaps delusional a more fittin', kinder & gentler word.
Let's just say insodoing you manage to make yourself look the part of an even bigger asshole than you normally do?
Which is I guess -- in hindsight -- pretty remarkable in & of itself, eh? :^)

...& a *big* BWAHAHAHAHAHA back at & *on* ya, boy!

[LS]

Mud, hope I'm wrong, but I see Landrieu holding. Uniting three Republicans and their constituencies is like herding cats.

[Mudboy Slim]

"I see Landrieu holding."

Heh heh heh...it's a bet, my FRiend!! LOL...Terrell will win 60-40 with a euphoric turn-out of triumphant Pubbies and wanna-be ex-RATS!!

So, what's the bet...Lunch with me, you, and Sabato, loser treats...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"If left to me to decide, your thorough, cognitive and insiteful post would take the prize."

SHEEEEESH...all these so-called bright American prognosticators and now it looks like I may be paying overseas freight to send the book to a bloody Brit!!

ROFL...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"Hear any "voices," too?"

Matter-of-fact, Limbaugh's voice is blaring in my ears...LOL!!

FReegards...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"...the real work begins right now, today & in earnest."

Actually, today I'm drinkin' an Icehouse 40-ouncer and chillin', but tomorrow I'm heading to Myrtle Beach fer four-five days of golf and comraderie...I'll FReepMail you and the redhead where we're staying and perhaps you can git off yer lazy good-fer-nuthin' butt and visit yer In-Laws this weekend!!

Utmost FReegards...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

Just 'cuz you add a ";^)" to each little dig doesn't absolve you from the consequences of yer comments, and if you don't watch it, LargeTriceppedOne, you'll feel the back of my hand...AGAIN!!

MUD

[LS]

If you can get me in Ohio together with Sabato in Virginia and wherever you are TOGETHER, I'll buy. And I hope I lose.

[Mudboy Slim]

"...how the hell did you manage to go about confusing these election victories with a criminal indictment of T-Mac?"

Ahhhh, good question, young PadowanLearner...you pleasantly surprise me with yer increased grasp of TheBigPicture!!

T-MaxxSlixBEE-ahhhhtch, as we know, and now, Clinton has been exposed as TheKissOfDeath politically...and Slick will no longer receive nearly as many speaking fees from the Left'sEffeteElite. Without WillieJeff coverin' his backside, the RATS're gonna be lookin' fer a whuppin' boy...and The RATS' Whuppin'Boy Shall Be Terry "The PUNK" McAuliffe!!

Good question, though, young man...you can take the rest of the day off if you prefer...MUD
