Welcome to Random's Blog Pool!

So, enjoy.

Now, We can mark polls and number before the Conventions, and see what kind of boost Obama (or :shudders: McCain).

For those who don't know Random has made it his personal mission to make an extensive blog pool where you can enjoy the wonders of gambling, without really breaking any laws.

Now of course we'll have the nation wide average pool. As well as individual state results. You can also put bets on what will be the Key states (you know the ones that take a day and a half to count). You can also guess which states go to who.

Also as a pleasurable bonus, a guess at a nation wide average the difference Bob Barr might make. And if you want, you can put it to individual states as well...

Electoral Votes
Unlike other graphs on this page, i'm going to keep this as a permant image, and you won't be able to see back images of it.



Incase you're all wondering. The data is from Pollster.com. I've taken the polls there and compiled it on a week by week basis. As well I compiled the entire month of may together. And Anything the predates that together.

Now, to bet on electoral winnings. Just choose a number...say 300, and then choose an over/under number among those listed: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40.


Here's key you should use when posting what you would like.
When posting for a specific state, i'd prefer if you'd use the two letter abbreviation.
For Obama McCain - Use the number to refer to which one you want. And make sure to refer if it's national or state.

P.S. Feel free to ask questions...I'm figuring this stuff out

P.P.S. No, i do not expect you to pick every single catagory, and place bets on every single state. so pick as many or as little as you like.

Third P.S. Also, i don't expect anyone to place bets NOW. just getting it out there now, and as a cheap way to get out all the numbers and graphs i'm doing.
