The official "What time John Kerry will be announced President" pool!!!

[trumad]

Step right in folks and give us your prediction on what time the networks will call the race for John Kerry and John Edwards.

Keep in mind West coast times. I've provided a link with all the poll closings throughout the country.
http://www.thegreenpapers.com/G04/closing.phtml?format=ma

Florida closes at 7pm EST and California closes at 8pm PST.

Pool closes a 5pm est on Nov.2nd

So.... I'm predicting 11:10 est.

Maybe Skinner can throw in a DU T-Shirt and bumper sticker for the contest.

I'll keep this bumped until Tuesday afternoon.

One more thing...I'll run a screen shot on election day to lock in the times listed, so please put your prediction time in the Subject section of your post....Thanks

1. I am an optimistic so I say 9:30p.m. PST

right after most of the south is declared for Kerry

[trumad]

3. So youre saying 12:30 est? correct?

[mooky]

8. Most of the South????

Uh, I don't think that is going to happen. Ark, FL, LA at the most. The rest are solidly going with chimpy.

[DemPopulist]

2. 11:01 EST

After California, Washington & Hawaii are called.

[terrya]

21. I agree. The west coast will decide it for Kerry.

[real democrat]

4. My honest guess will be

early spring, say April 12th.
Just kidding...
But Walter Cronkite, said last night on Larry King, it probably will be spring..

But my honest feeling, it will be 1:15 a.m. Wed. Nov.3rd.

New Mexico and Colorado will be the states that decide the outcome.

6. Edt and put your time in the subject header...Thanks

Just a wild guess.

[goclark]

18. 6 PM EST on Nov.5

So many states have the absentee ballots to count and the provisionals.

IMO,everyone will know from the Early Counts but Bush will not go down without a fight. There will have to be an overwhelming majority to get their attention.

Kerry will win!

13. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kerry in a landslide baby. No recount. No lawsuits. Obvious "fuck you" to GWB and his band of lying chickenhawks. See ya (in prison).

[bunkerbuster1]

26. Well, I know when _I'll_ call it

If they've got results from certain swing states back, then I'll know we've got a real President, and not a Preznit.

But I'm way too superstitious to say which swing states I'm talkin' about. And I don't do office pools.

I've done one (1) office pool my whole life. It was a World Series pool. At the time I did not give a crap about baseball, or sports.

But I stumbled on the right square, and won, that one time. I figured it was an omen.

32. Walter Cronkite said next spring I say 11:30 Pacific time

So, I'm going to say we'll know before I go to bed at 11:30 Pacific time.

[Clinton Crusader]

33. considering I wont see the clock from drinking I'll say 2:38am, Nov. 3

The reason? Bullshit protests, investigations, repugs holding up an announcement NO MATTER WHAT, throwing every wrench into it they can come up with. My second guess is sometimes in December.

[Pithy Cherub]

34. 11:47 EST

Here's hoping turnout is massive for our side and the media mental midgets need to practice saying President-elect Kerry!

I think we'll have to wait until nearly all the precincts have had a chance to report from both Ohio and Florida, as well as from smaller states like Wisconsin and Minnesota, before there will be enough of a cushion of electoral votes for Kerry for the news media to be comfortable calling the race for him.
