How will you score this one Neal?

[Onkel Neal]

Scoring

The Super Tuesday primary, select which candidate you think will win the most states. Not the most delegates, just winner/best showing in each state. 5 points, 13 if you get both parties right.

Last, after we finish the Mar 1 Super Tuesday, I'll ask who will be the eventual nominee of each party. You'll get 5 points for a correct selection, 13 if you pick the eventual winner of both parties.

Last, after the conventions, on Oct 13, you can select the winner of the Presidential race, worth 10 points.

When the President is announced, we will add up the scores and see who is the winner. I will send a Subsim mug and t-short to the winner. In case of a 2 way tie, they split the prizes. 3 way or more, I will tell you something nice.

I'm becoming a tad confused by all this but I believe my latest pick is Clinton, Trump with Kasich for the drop.

I'll stick with them for all the future forthcoming unless I notify of any change.

TIA

[Onkel Neal]

for Super Tuesday, simply name the candidate that you think will win the most states.

Example:

R-Trump
D-Clinton


You don't have to tell me who wins which state, just who wins da most.

Warhawk, what's your call? It looks like Trump and Clinton.

Here's where we stand now. Dems in SC Sat, then Super Tuesday.

After Super Tuesday, you will select who you think will win the party noms (not now, wait, wait....I will let you know when).

[AVGWarhawk]

Super Tuesday:

R-Trump
D-Clinton

How's dat?

[Onkel Neal]

And now we see Clinton's support in the South, looks solid.

Rubio, too little, too late.

So, most of you have made you calls for Super Tuesday, mapuc, Mr Quatro, waiting for you, sirs. I will close the thread Monday evening so get you picks for Super Tuesday in now.

After Super Tuesday, you can make you choice for who you think will be the eventual winner of the Dem and Rep parties. There will be a more primaries over the next three months but as the original contest structure outlined, you will have to look into your crystal ball by March 2 (Weds) and make your pick.

Here's the standings after last night's Dem South Carolina primary.

[Aktungbby]

*Bonus: Select the name of the candidate you think will be the first in either party to announce they are dropping out. 1 Point. We will use the media to decide who has announce their withdrawal from the race.That may be tricky if three candidates drop out the evening of a primary, we will have a fine discussion about that, I am sure. Use this guide, I am only counting major R and D candidates, those with pictures by their name: http://www.politics1.com/p2016.htm

I was not aware from the rules that NONE counted as a point as names are explicitly stated in the official rules; By my reckoning I should still be tied with AVGWarhawk Warhawk can have the mug; I just want a 'T-short'!

[mapuc]

Here are my prediction for the Super Tuesday

Dem - Clinton
Drop Sanders-I guess he's going to drop after Tuesday

Rep - Trump

Drop I see many drops after Super Tuesday
Kasich, Carson and Cruz

That is my prediction
