I Do, You're Lucky the Bar's Open to You
As a fun current event thing, I'm taking bets on when the winner of the US presidential election will be definitively known. No money is involved, but you do get bragging rights if you're correct. You can also chose the same date as someone else, I don't really care that much. The only date you probably shouldn't chose is anything past Dec. 8th, which is the day the electoral college meets (second Wed. in Dec.). Extremely cautious probably won't want to chose anything past Nov. 30, which is around the date that the state results have to be in to the electoral college.
Just post your choice in the comments. Current guesses:
- Me: 4 weeks (which is Nov. 30th)
- Dmitrii: 2 weeks (so Nov. 16th)
- Jon: Nov 30th
- Aaron: 2AM EST (so Nov. 3rd)
- Greg: End of the month (so Nov 30th as well)
- Craig: Nov. 29, 11:37AM (Kathmandu time, GMT +5:45) (Now that's just being too specific)
Update (1PM Nov. 3rd): Word is that Kerry is calling a press conference in an hour or so in order to concede defeat. That places Aaron as the only person who's even remotely close to having guessed the correct time.
