And the winner is......

Good morning. As is well known by now, several TV networks called PA one minute after the polls closed last night. After the cheering died down in the Buckingham Green campaign office, most of us figured it was time to pack up, and get over to the first party of the night in the neighboring hamlet of Furlong. Jolie, our fearless leader, however, had other ideas. Word had come down from the top that several thousand Nevadians(?) needed a personal phone call from us before the polls closed at 7pm PST. So up to http://www.mybo.com/ we went to download call lists and make some more calls, which we did until after 9pm or so EST.
To kill some time between calls, we started an office pool to see who could predict Barack's final electoral count. Here are the final results:

Jolie..281
Laura..290
Lara..295
Annsi..297
David..302
Eric..310
Carol..312
Richard..318
Rorie..318
Lavinia..318
Ann Marie..340

Congratulations, Ann Marie!! Your prize will be mailed to you shortly. And Jolie, you also deserve a prize for the absolutley fabulous job you did running the office and keeping everyone motivated and on task.
It has been a great pleasure getting to know all of you.
