The Weber County Forum 2008 Election Predictions Contest

A chance for our gentle readers to demonstrate their ability to pick "winners"

At the suggestion of one of our gentle readers, we invite you to enter a little contest here to see who can best predict the outcome of the November 4 election.

To enter, you must successfully select the names of your predicted winners from our 2008 Weber County Ballot Roster, and the percentage of the popular vote they receive. For example, you might say: “Barack Obama, 51%; Brent Wallis, 75%,” etc.

The person who 1) selects the greatest number of prevailing candidates and 2) comes closest to the winning percentages in all races will be pronounced the Grand Prize Winner after the final official election tally comes in. In the event of a tie, the person who posts earlier will be the winner.

As an added bonus, we'll also pronounce winners in subcategories, i.e., individual races, such as the District 9 House of Representatives race, for instance, for those readers who don't wish to deal with the entire candidate list.

The deadline for contest entries: 8:00 tomorrow night.

And the prizes? Bragging rights.
