December 24, 2004, TD Find the Popes in the Pizza Contest...
Well, after careful tabulation by our team of auditors from Arthur Andersen, we have determined a winner in the talking dog's guess the electoral college outcome contest. In plain "closest" terms to the winning margin, the winner would be m'self, who predicted that the winner would have 282 e.v.'s (actual number was 283).
However, your TD got carried away with himself, and predicted that it would be John Kerry with that number instead of... the other guy.
Next closest was a guess of 293 e.v.'s (with some insane overguessing in the popular total, though contest rules provided that popular vote was a tiebreaker only, as opposed to the actual election, where the popular vote of nine people is the tie breaker), for... the guy who won.
And hence, your talking dog announces that the winner of the "guess the electoral tally" game is none other than the former co-blogger of this very site, the blogger now known as The Raving Atheist.
Raving will get lunch at New York's Bouley restaurant, care of your talking dog. Congratulations, RA, and bon appetit.
Oh-- Peace on Earth, Good Will towards Man, yada yada yada... And as Spike Lee and the Raving Atheist both might say, let's keep the "X" in "X-mas".
Comments
My popular vote estimate was probably underguessing, given the historical democratic penchant for voter fraud. Kerry probably assembled his Swift Boat lackeys to intercept and burn (along with a few draft cards and phony purple hearts) the absentee ballots of our brave fighting men in Iraq and hopefully soon Iran and elsewhere. But you'll never see Dan Rather reporting on that.
And man, am I ever hungry.

As it turns out, someone other than John F. Kerry won all of New York's electoral votes. The OFFICIAL final vote was as follows:
George Bush 286 EV 51.4% popular
John F. Kerry 218 EV 45.2% popular
John L. Kerry 31 EV 3.4% popular

HM says that she doesn't care if the sun comes back or not, I'm not sacrificing any more of her friends, and if she's not going to get into the spirit of the season I'm certainly not going to the trouble.
happy tree day.

Just dropped by to send some H-word wishes. I hope you and your wife (assuming of course she is your wife ) are well.
