2006 JACKBLOG ELECTION CONTEST!holy shit! this is going to be huge. it's our first ever congressional makeup guessing contest!
the excitement is palpable here at jackblog industries headquarters, ann arbor michigan. this contest is open to all jackbloggers everywhere and features prizes you'll find
nowhere else.
to enter, apply comment to this post with estimated house of reps and/or senate makeup numbers attached! Jazz up your entries with trash talk and/or headshots of rival jackbloggers photoshopped to rotting corpses. blood geysers encouraged. if you'd prefer to remain anonymous to other bloggers feel free to email them to me at thecoldcowboy at g mail dot com.
remember, the house has 435 seats and the senate has 100. however, if you believe one or more district(s) will be destroyed by november 7th, simply indicate which (and preferably the manner in which they will) meet their grizzly end.
the winners will be the entries closest to the actual makeup of the house and senate post-election.
ties will be settled by a videotaped freestyle rapping battle at date and time to be determined by the blogmaster and preferably MC'd by mission man.
all entries must be posted by midnight, friday night (11/3)
PRIZES
winner of the house contest receives the love and admiration of jackbloggers worldwide. also, i will send them something awesome in the hope that they will post a photo of themselves (with or without a disguise) holding said item with faux excitement upon receipt. seriously, i promise to actually send the winner something great.
winner of the senate contest receives love and admiration of jackbloggers. however, this love is confined to the lower 48 states. in addition, i, the cold cowboy, will issue an extensive post exhalting the name and the legacy of the victorious jackblogger. the winner will also be invited to order me to change the jackblog title header, which hasn't been changed since the 70s. actually, anyone is invited to submit ideas to thecoldcowboy at g mail dot com at any time.
Good luck and godspeed, bloggers of freedom.Labels: congress, mission man

looks like sarge is being fashionably pessimisstic (is that trash-talky enough)? fine, i'll go the other way with it.
here's mine:
Senate:
Dem: 52 Rep: 47 Ind: 1
House:
Dem: 240 Rep: 195
i'm especially curious to see what AMillionMonkeys thinks...
"Read my whole post, Rob! Don't skim!"
Well I've been meditating on this for at least seven minutes and am now ready to submit my entry:
Senate: Rep: 48 Ind: 2 Dem: 50
(I am thinking of Virginia/Tennessee/Missouri, maybe we will get two of three. Could be zero of three, however.)
House: Rep: 203 Dem: 232
(But who knows...)
in response to concerns about submitting duplicate predictions (especially re: the senate race), worry not. we'll come up with a tiebreaker.
I propose that the tie breaker be that each person will be required to draw a picture of the most attractive congressperson imagineable, real or imagined. The most overhwhelmingly attractive drawing wins.
Senate: Rep: 49, Ind:1, Dem 50
House: Rep: 210, Dem: 225
Man Sarge, you've got no hope...Did the red stick eat your heart?
Do some of you people really think Lamont is going to win?
dan's suggestion is accepted with feverish gusto! any ties will hereby be settled by drawing sexy pictures of hot congressfolk. the drawings will be posted and another contest will be held to determine ultimate congressional hotness.
god, i hope there's a tie. please, please be a tie!
and stridey: don't knock it until you rock it. where's your entry pal?
nah, lamont's fudged. 35% of conn. dems are voting for joe, and with alan "major party canditate" schlesinger pulling a robust 8% of republicans, lamont didn't have much of a chance. you just have to think of joe as one of the better senate republicans, then you cry less.
i don't know exactly what i think about that race exactly, beyond thinking joe sucks and is annoying to look at or hear, which i already did. i find it hard to argue against more parties, but his candidacy just seems like such a sham, all name recognition and triangulation, no substance.
what he did is illegal in 9 states, and i think i understand why at this point after watching this unfold. i feel like nobody wins in this equation but lieberman, which i suppose is why his "party" name is connecticut for lieberman rather than the other way.
anyway, i think i have the races going thusly:
senate = 52r, 46d, 2i
house = 219d, 216r
Let me learn ya...
Senate:
Dem: 50 Rep: 49 Ind: 1
House:
Dem: 223 Rep: 212
I'm copying the Sargeant's predictions exactly because, if he's right, we'll all need a silver lining, which will be that the two bearded holymen will then be forced to execute an entirely new kind of grudge-match: Illustrated Congressional Hotness!
So:
Senate: Rep: 50 Ind: 2 Dem: 48
House: Rep: 220 Dem: 215
you goddamn slut.
dan, you've clearly never seen the ayatollah's art. you're in for a world of hurt.
Bring it.
And remember, my children, it's not unusual to be loved by anyone.
Senate:
R: 52
D: 47
I: 1
House:
R: 226
D: 218
I: 1
Ohgodohgodohgod please let there be a tie!
