Election Day CONTEST!!!

I've been scarce because I'm helping out many of my political friends with their campaigns. In the odd years in Connecticut we elect most of our local leaders and local positions in the 169 different towns in the state and I'm helping out a friend who's running for mayor in Newburyport, MA.

So I have to post my predicitions SOMEWHERE so I can say "I predicted that" so sorry, you guys are going to have to be subjected to a thread that you don't care about but TOO BAD! :smiley36:

Republican wins:
Brooklyn: Engle wins
Thompson: Babbitt wins
Ellington: Stupinski wins
Stafford: Bacchiochi wins
Canterbury: Dupont wins
Woodstock: Very wins
Willington: Eldredge wins
Pomfret: Patenaude wins
Voluntown: Grimm wins
Bozrah: Robbins wins
Preston: Congdon wins
Columbia: Wiggins wins
Sprague: Allen wins
New Milford: Murphy wins
Litchfield: Paul wins
Thomaston: Piscopo wins
Fairfield: Stone wins

Democrat wins:
Plainfield: Cunningham wins
Windham: Paulhaus wins
Lebanon: Okunuk wins
Colchester: Contois wins
Griswold: Brycki wins
Vernon: Marmer wins
Chaplin: Lanzit wins
Hampton: Chapel wins
Sterling: Firlik wins
Tolland: Democrats win Town Council
Washington: Sears wins

And last but not least, in Newburyport, MA - Donna Holaday WINS Mayor!!!!

The only three I may be wrong on are the first three BUT I could be wrong on more (like I was in 2003 :smiley3: )

Tell ya what, for the FIRST PERSON that guesses exactly how many I get WRONG, I'll send ya a couple of nice cigars. NO POST EDITING!! Contest closes at 8:00 p.m. EST on November 8th.

See, all of a sudden you guys are interested now right?

I'm going with 4. I think Bill knows what he's doing, so I don't think he will get too many wrong. :smiley20:

WINNAH!!!! Even though the time was off by a few minutes NO ONE had any poll results only 14 minutes after the polls close so this entry is vaild. Also, no one esle said TEN so if I didn't delcare godfather the winner, there would not have been one.

TEN was the number :smiley20:

The races I wasn't so sure about I called correctly BUT the ones I thought were "locks" wound up being wrong.

The race I worked very hard on in Stafford wound up being a BIG WIN. Stafford is a hugely Democratic town and my Republican candidate WON. First Republican win there in 46 years!!
