I have one more election game: Predict the time (Eastern Standard Time) that CNN.com will officially call each of the swing states for one presidential candidate or the other. For the purposes of this game, the "swing states" are New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado, and Nevada. CNN has committed to not calling any state until the polls actually close everywhere in the state (although they occasionally break their own rule). Theoretically, the closer the race, the longer it should take to call a winner. Here are the times that the polls close in each state.
FLORIDA - 7:00 EST (peninsula) / 8:00 EST (panhandle)
VIRGINIA - 7:00 EST
NORTH CAROLINA - 7:30 EST
OHIO - 7:30 EST
NEW HAMPSHIRE - 8:00 EST
COLORADO - 9:00 EST
WISCONSIN - 9:00 EST
IOWA - 10:00 EST
NEVADA - 10:00 EST
Predict what time you think each state will be called! I'll be using CNN.com as the official source for this game. You get one point for every minute you are over/under on each state...and the LOWEST overall score wins!
