As seen in the Rocky Mountain News, today is the last day to enter the Colorado Pols Office Pool. The deadline is 5:00 p.m. Read on for more information…
We’re excited to present the first, and perhaps annual, Colorado Pols office pool. Except, it’s not really a pool because you don’t have to submit any money…well, whatever. But there is a prize!
Anyway, here’s how it’s going to work…
The pool involves Referendum C only, because otherwise it’s way more complicated than we care to worry about. There are two questions:
1. Will Referendum C Pass or Fail
2. How many votes will be cast for the winning side on Referendum C? (total number of votes for winning side, NOT margin of victory)
To participate, you only need to indicate in the comments section below your answer to each question. If you think Referendum C will fail, then you must provide the vote total that it will fail by. We’ll give you a hint to get you started: in 2003, there were 947,852 votes cast on the Amendment 33 measure (slot machines in racetracks).
So, your entry would look something like this:
“Fail with 536,237 votes”
We’re going with “Price is Right” rules, meaning that the closest guess without going over will be the winner. So what’s the prize?
Winners will get the banner ad on Colorado Pols for one week, for virtually whatever you want (we’re not putting up an ad for the KKK or for your favorite porn site, so we reserve the right to approve the content). Your ad will run for one week, and it must run in November 2005 — you can’t hold onto it for months. You can give the ad to a candidate of your choice, or you can design an ad that says “Colorado Pols Sucks” if that makes you happy.
Only one entry per person is allowed, and when the winner is announced you will need to email us to confirm your secret identity. Your email needs to come from the same IP address as your entry so we can confirm that it was really you.
Okay, now get started. Remember, there are two questions:
1. Will Referendum C Pass or Fail?
2. How many votes will be cast for the winning side on Referendum C? (total number of votes for winning side, NOT margin of victory)
The DEADLINE for entries is 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 1. If two people make the same guess, the person who made their entry first wins.
