Saxi's Race to the White House Fun Contest 4 Competitors

Post by saxitoxin »

Predict each round of USA election for prize ... prior to each primary or caucus Saxi invites you to post your predictions for first, second and third place in Republican Party (Democrats already decided). Everyone who gets first place correct gets a number of points equal to the number of delegates that person received, and so on. When Saxi decides the nomination process has run its course, the person with the most points gets something like Premium or a New Car! (Probably the first one.)

For example ----

SAXI SEZ: "My name is Saxi and I predict first place in Iowa will be Newt Gingrich, then Ron Paul then John Huntsman!!!"
RESULTS: 1. Mitt Romney (15 delegates), 2. Ron Paul (7 delegates), 3. Newt Gingrich (3 delegates)
SAXI GETS: 7 points!

That's actually my favorite movie about Iowa. It's pretty accurate about Iowan's small town life.


1. Ron Paul
2. Mitt Romney
3. Newt G.

Can I change my vote later if NPR says something changed?





Also, a little off topic, but what's up with Iowa's state flag?Image

It's France's flag with an Eagle on it. I noticed.

This is a little off-topic, but what's up with Illinois's State flag? It's a traditional French flag with Iowa's Eagle on it. I noticed.

While I am joining too late to be in the competition, some of you might have not noticed the recent surge of santorum all over the poles.
