OK, you need something more to vote for, don'tcha. There aren't enough names on the ballot if you are in the USA and if you are in Canada, well, you haven't voted for a couple of weeks and right now you are feeling a little left out. So here are ten questions to answer. The closest to ten for ten gets a prize:
- Does McCain or Obama win?
- Aubertine or Renzi?
- Does Maine vote for or against the President?
- Does Al Franken win in Minnesota?
- Does Ted Stevens win in Alaska?
- Does North Carolina vote Democrat or Republican in the Electoral College?
- Does Missouri vote Democrat or Republican in the Electoral College?
- What will Ben drink tonight? Be single malt or bourbon maker specific please.
- California Proposition 8: yes or no? Be wary of a trick question here.
- OR-05: Democrat or Republican?
Bonus question: which of the 29 New York State House districts looks most like a wild animal and how many of them will be Republican come Wednesday morning? OK, that is two bonus questions.
That 's it! Let us know what you think and what you plan to do on election night?

Is an elephant a wild animal? You voted for Bush, didn't you? He's leaving a mess, isn't he?

Actually, I'm pretty sure about what I'm going to drink. And it was almost a foregone conclusion, anyway, so I won't be prejudicing the results here.
I'll stick in a bonus answer, though --
The 23rd district in NY looks like an elephant.

Key votes yet to be resolved. We may have to wait a bit to know who won.
Thomas - November 6, 2008 12:53 am
And Franken's ratings fall short.
