Now is the time for all good DISer's to ....enter the pool....

Here is mine: Bush will win the popular vote by 15,111,212

(it is going to be much bigger than his 543,614 victory in 2000)

This is a link to a great web site on past presidential election:s

past presidential elections

PS – the winner of the pool… will get to have his/her candidate be president for the next 4 years *. (nice prize isn’t it?)


* - the electoral count could void the prize

I think Bush will win but I have no idea how to even chose a number. It will be close- I think.

I have no idea who will win. Have no idea about how to choose margins, either

Oh and btw, I won our football pool two weeks in a row for a grand total of $600-so I'm on a streak!!!

you can use the link I provided as a sort of cheat sheet.

click on "American Presidential elections 1932-2000" to get an idea of total number of votes.

From looking at the site it looks like the average popular vote for the last few years has been around maybe 90 million.

What I found interesting was that Ross Perot got :

19,741,561 votes in 1992

7,807,588 votes in 1996

That's alot of votes for an independent...


hey - lucky4me you really are lucky..
