Join @HeartlandInst staff for Election predictions and results

The Heartland Institute is a free-market think tank based in Chicago. To help kick off their new blog, they're having a contest of skill and daring and no small risk to life and limb:

We’re having an Election Night prediction contest on our new blog, Somewhat Reasonable. We are giving away signed copies of P.J. O’Rourke’s new book, “Don’t Vote, It Only Encourages the Bastards” to those who most closely guess in the comments section of this blog post the makeup of the House and Senate.

There should be some amount of hilarity involved, from the sample so far.



They've got a highly ironic prize. P.J. O'Rourke came to Chicago a little while back for a book signing.



Clicky linky and let the bloodsport commence.

John Nothdurft

Senate: 51 Dems, GOP 49

House: GOP picks up 68 seats A woman will become Governor of California MSNBC will blame the election on George W.
