Read it and weep, but not until Sunday

Posted on November 15, 2008 in Politics // 2 Comments

I love elections. I love the forums, I love debates, I love trying to figure it all out.

And I love guessing who’s going to win. I don’t have a great track record on that score, but that doesn’t hold me back. As I say in today’s Armchair Mayor column in The Daily News, making predictions is for bookies and fools, and I don’t bet on the horses.

I’ve post-dated a post for tomorrow morning. It offers predictions, compiled Friday afternoon, on where all candidates in today’s Kamloops civic election will place. This should prove once and for all that I should stay out of the predictions game.

But that would be no fun.

You are correct Fouldsy. I think your predictions were even worse than mine. Mel.

Mel: I posted my predictions on my blog last night.
Let’s make a bet.
I bet I am an even worse prognosticator than you.
So, worst performance wins.
You name the wager.
Cheers
Chris
