2011
Play now!
OK, political nerds and peanut gallery, it's time for our annual election contest. You have one week to tell us who you think will win the 2011 elections (not who you want to win).
The survey will close the same time as the real polls - 7:30pm on November 8th. The winner gets a free OP t-shirt or hat in the size and color of your choosing (by way of a gift certificate to the online OP store).
... yours! The most influential endorsements of all are the opinions of people you know and trust. This is our annual special-rules post to share YOUR favorites on this year's ballots. Here's OP's 2011 candidate list including links to all of their websites.
The rules: only write who you are voting for (and why, if you like). You can also list the people you would vote for if you lived in their districts. Do
not refer (by name or specific description) to any candidates that you are not voting for or publicly supporting. If you do not
follow the rules, your comments will be removed. In other words: keep it positive please.
[Note: I published this post and then took it down about a week ago. I got the sense that some folks wanted to wait until after more forums, especially OP's, were concluded to make final recommendation. I hope you're ready to go now!]
I am imgaine the reason this is so short (one hour) is that there isn't much to ask the challengers besides "who the **** do you think you are?" and then thank Mark Kleinschmidt for his service and polite patience with these bozos. Here's my favorite part of WCHL's story about this:
...challenger Kevin Wolff proposed the forum earlier this month, but hasn’t yet confirmed his attendance.
