Meet the pundits
As you can see above, we had a total of 43 contestants this year. There were seven people that picked the winners of every race and the referendum correctly.Of these, "JT", "email", Jeff Danner, and "secret prognosticator" got the order right in one of the races. "imsobadatguessing" and "dramafree" got the order right in two races, and "imsobadatguessing" was the only winner to get the Town Council order of winners and losers correct. And the grand champion pundit of 2011 is "The Mayor of Carrboro" because he got the correct order in 3 out of 4 races. He was also the only winner who got the order of winners correct in the School Board race. (Everyone had the losers correct in that race.)Congrats to the 7 winners, feel free to out yourselves in the comments if you like. A $25 gift certificate to http://www.zazzle.com/orangepolitics is on the way to the Mayor. And thanks everyone for playing this year!
Two in a row, sorta.
That's two municipal election cycles in a row! http://orangepolitics.org/2009/11/the-wisdom-of-crowdsBut I came up short in the May 2010 election.
I guess I'm not so bad at guessing
after all.
