Match your prognostication skills against that of the pundits — how many Senate seats will the Democrats take? How many House seats? What will the Electoral College split be?
Voting closes at 7pm when the first polls close.
First prize: one month’s worth of FDL Book Salon titles.
Second prize: a package of books, CDs and DVDs courtesy of Blue America
Third prize: FDL t-shirt and mug, plus two tickets to the Inauguration special performance of "Wake Up World"
Match your skill against Karl Rove. Cast your vote here.
I’ll be on BBC all night, broadcasting from Time Square (they’ll be coming to us once an hour). See you there starting around 7pm ET.
Update: Lizz Winstead, one of the creators of the Daily Show (who does "Wake Up World") is throwing in lunch with the winner of the tickets. Now how much would you pay?

About FDL Action
Waving hi to Jane — you were terrific on tv this morning!
Thanks, egregious! It’s fun here in NY, though everyone I know at home is doing GOTV in Virginia. Which would’ve been fun, too.
Gotta get with the Google election gadget:

BTW, “Wake Up World” is part of the “Shoot the Messenger” Lizz Winstead show, which I did last night (our own watertiger is one of the writers). Lizz is one of the creators of the Daily Show. I was on with Eric Boehlert and the Rude Pundit. We had a ball.
Oh and Lizz says she’ll throw in a lunch with the winner. So there you have it.
Now how much would you pay!
The contest for FDL front-pagers:
First prize: one month’s worth of FDL Book Salon titles.
Second prize: a set of steak knives
Third prize: is your fired.
I predict that Obama will win, and that the exit poll results will match the voting tally for the first time in twelve years. Meanwhile, the Democrats will fail to take 60 Senate seats because of elections in which the exit polls mysteriously fail to match the voting tallies.
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will declare a review of the suspect Senate elections to be “off the table.”
Im betting on a SWEEP!!!!,And Jane in case ysa didnt see it

Rude Pundit rocks
getting out the Pommegranite juice,and the bubbly
I dare not utter the name…:)…but I’m prepared to deal with Kissinger’s choice if it be so.
Found this nice election mood music from Eminem so you don’t have to predict in silence.
is this an IDIOT? Dostyevsky forgive me

hehehehehehehe
I’m sure other pups are way more deserving of the prizes.
I just want Obama to win in a Landslide.
I want Al Franken to win.
I want KY to ditch Mitch.
I want Liddy Dole to “get religion” and retire.
I want McCain to retire, too.
I want the Mormons to keep their nose in their own business in Utah.
I want Florida and Ohio to do American proud with clean, no muss elections.
I want Virginia and North Carolina to go blue and…
I can’t believe the day is finally here!
this is my offering

Jane, thanks so much from a whole lot of people.
Just out of curiosity, any idea what their immigration policy is? Unless they set the financial bar a lot lower than Canada, I can cross them off my list.
i adore France
but can you imagine what it costs to live there now,with the dollar so low…i scoped out a beautiful little place in Normandie
i love Canada,but its too cold for me
Sigh…
buy a very tiny farm with some friends…Im in…”g”
Senate + 8 (and 1 run-off)
House +31
Obama (332-206) Though NC will be tough.
Not entering the on-line prize game so best of luck and good work to whoever wins.
My only prediction is that John McCain will become the first presidential candidate ever to utter the word “fuck” on national television.
That’s how I feel about Norway. Too cold, too dark although they make the best of it…
Please let it be so…. (And let Indiana Ditch Mitch too — Governor Mitch).
SPEW!!!
vey kewl place,Sweden too
Actually, I’d heard the U.S. dollar has made gains due to the financial crisis. Probably not breaking even yet.
FYI FDL, you can embed the Google gadget race tracker noted above.
hell mebbe we can RECLAIM our own country
that i cannot figure…why they have confidence in IT$$$$
Yes We Can!!
oo oo I hope I come in 3rd
HuffPo, has page of all the live tools (the google one, a CNN one, that sort of thing, the INTrade lines, etc:

hahahhhahahahahahahaha
I’m not going any where – this is my country and it’s worth fighting for.
He appeared to mutter”bullshit” a couple times during one of the debates. At least, it sounded like it to me. Others were less convinced.
NPR talking about DEFLATION
yes ,but i cant take PREZ PANDORA PALIN
no can do
Please…someone tell me that I’m not going to have a Kerry hangover for four more years!!! I can’t take it anymore!
Come on America!!!
Yeah, I remember, although I must admit that I didn’t catch what he was saying. This, however, will be a clearly spoken use of “fuck.” I am unable to specify which part of speech it will be.
Kind of like the Wall St. bailout but much, much, larger. It would be too costly for our financial backers to allow the U.S. to fail.
Galbraith said Euro untested, my opine
we have the shoppers…..”g”
Aloha Ya’ll, I just got back from voting, no long lines here, but, as I was talking to some of the clerks it’s been a very robust turnout and they’re humming along…! Go Obama!
how are ya doin pal????
CT!!!!
So happy to see you did not vote for that guy with the white hair…;-))
Could be better, my better half is in CCU for a heart murmur and she’s unable to vote today…! They’re keeping her overnight to run tests!
{{{CT}}} Been a bad week for you.
that’s a good one, my fellow prisoner…
Deflation? What are they saying?
My son asked me who I voted for and when I said Obama and he replied ‘Why, don’t you know he’ll remove ‘Under God’ from the pledge… I promptly asked where’d he hear that nonsense from and he told me a friend told him…! I told him his friend is dead wrong and please don’t believe it…!
LS, if this get’s stolen, it’s going to be ugly.
Heh, an understatement and a half…! *g*
I want Florida
and Ohioto do American proud with clean, no muss elections.sigh. hadn’t read Lindsay’s post about Voters Inexplicably Dropped from Ohio Rolls until just now. grrr!
Geez, CTuttle. If it weren’t for bad luck, if it weren’t for real bad luck…
I’ll meet you and LS in Cuyahoga County if it’s stolen…crikey.
You know, people around the world wonder why we don’t riot in the streets? It’s because we can vote for change and get rid of the bastards in a bloodless way. If that is taken away, if our votes are nullified through fraud, there will be blood. imho. er, generally speaking.
I do try to keep a positive attitude though…! It could be worse… Like the Iraqis experience everyday…!
Glenn:
Ahoy there me droogies! The day, she is here at last!
{{{{{ CT }}}}} — Can’t think of anyone less deserving of your current string of bad luck! Strength and improvement to you, my friend.
Super-easy voting in Oakland near Berkeleyland, though not much sleep for m’self nor for The Sweetie last night. Taking today off since I’d be no good to the company under the circumstances. Unwisely feeding my anxieties by watching this thing.
The Sweetie turned 50 on Sunday, we are hoping she gets a really good President for her birthday.
And after the last 8 years those R’s don’t deserve that which they most fear, or worse even… uh, why exactly?
sorry had to go feed critters
im hoping things turn around for you teh soon…{{{{hugs}}}}
demand is down al LOTS of goods,not for the teh rich though
How often can I vote?
Senator Burr (R-NC) begs to differ. McCain’s going to win! Black voters had a good turn out early, but they are unable to “sustain” the turn out! People are “scared” and want someone who isn’t “risky”. blah blah blah.
Obama will gain 10 states over Kerry’s 2004 results – FL, VA, NC, OH, MO, IN, ND, CO, NM, NV – total electoral college votes 378.
Senate, 59 seats including Bernie Sanders and Joe LIE-berman.
House, Wild-Ass Guess of 262 seats.
