Dear Readers,

More fun and games at the expense of our overworked, underappreciated elected representatives and candidates who inexplicably want their jobs.
Seth Grimes poses the following set of questions for you armchair political analysts.

– Gilbert

What percentages do you see in Ward 4 for –
- Terry Seamens
- Eric Mendoza

What percentages do you see in Ward 6 for –
- Fritz Schultz
- Navid Nasr

How many votes will be cast for mayor city-wide?
What percentage of the mayoral vote will go to –

- Bruce Williams
- Roger Schlegel

How many voters will there be by Ward?
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6:
Your score = the sum of the differences between each actual result and your guess, multiplied by 10 for the percentages. Low score wins.

Gilbert is the pseudonym of a hard-bitten, hard-drinking, long-time Takoma Park resident who maintains the granolapark blog. Gilbert and William L. Brown — Granola Park's mild-mannered chief of staff, researcher, and drink pourer — have never been seen in the same place at the same time.

Thanks Gilbert.
I’ll buy a drink at the Olive Lounge, at a forth-coming local e-mail list get-together, for the winner. That’s the Takoma Voice and Takoma e-mail lists; you don’t have to be a list member to win.
