All right, so you’ve heard that there is another primary election tonite, so everybody get your prognosticator’s hat on and tell us:
1. Dem Finish Order IN
2. Dem Final percentage IN
3. Dem Finish Order NC
4. Dem Finish Order NC
5. Overall (include both IN and NC) Delegate Net for the evening (Candidate +/- x)
Bonus Question:
1. McCain winning percentage both states.
2. The Media narrative on how this long primary makes McCain the shoe-in in November.
Winner is the closest guess on all 5 main questions and the bonus questions are tiebreakers (and may make you the winner if the answer is funny enough). Winner gets a copy of this great book.
All you readers and lurkers have until 6:30 EDT to get your prediction in.

Can I just say… Whatever XStryker says??
Media Spin: Whatever keeps HRC in the race and the MSM’s ratings up!

I’ll abstain from this one and let the lessers have a chance!
IN – Obama by the height of the avegage radical black preacher.
NC – HRC by the weight of a gas pump.

Only one person per thread can steal XStryker’s homework.
And you should go ahead and guess, VonC — get your streak on!

There’s 5 questions in this bet — make sure to include overall delegate net.
Comment by Von Cracker on 6 May 2008 at 3:33 pm:
Ok – just the primary dels:
Obama +13 (65[NC]+35[IN]=100); HRC -13 (50[NC]+_37[IN]=87.

Whatever is close enough to make this grand experiment in Democracy continue for another month.
Comment by X Stryker on 6 May 2008 at 4:27 pm:
IN: Clinton 53.25, Obama 46.75
NC: Obama 55.5, Clinton 43.5, No pref 0.6, Gravel 0.4
Clinton nets 4 dels from IN, Obama nets 11 dels from NC, overall Obama net 7 delegates
IN: McCain wins 80%
NC: McCain wins 90%
Media spin: It’s a tie, the race drags on. Smart guys like Olbermann remember that Obama is now much, much closer to his magic number.
