Gentlemens' bets for tonight's election returns
Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets ...  
By OnMilwaukee.com Staff Writers

What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published Nov. 4, 2008 at 5:08 p.m.

You've cast your vote. Now all you can do is sit back and watch the results roll in, right?

Or could you place some action on the winners and losers.

A friend of ours used to run an awesome awesome office pool for the presidential election. He passed out a map of the United States and asked contestants to pick the winner of each state. You could pick the candidate of your choice. If you picked the winner of the state correctly, you were awarded that state's electoral votes.

The winner was the "candidate" with the most electoral votes.

It was a tough pool to run in the days before Excel spreadsheets, but it was a lot of fun.

Speaking of fun...

Just for fun -- no money changing hands here -- lets hear your bets on tonight's results. Use the Talkback feature below.

Over/under: Obama's electoral college total: 298

Over/under: McCain's electoral college total: 258

Over/under: How many seats for the Democrats in the Senate: 54

Over/under: What time the first major network declares a winner: 8:28 p.m.

Straight up: Which network calls the election first?

Straight up: Which network calls the election last?

Straight up: Which candidate wins Wisconsin?

Straight up: Which candidate wins Florida?

Straight up: Which candidate wins Ohio?

If you have any other prop bets or predictions, use the Talkback feature to let us know.
