We'll know in eight hours.

Rob Long: "You correctly pick the number of House and Senate GOP gains, as of 11PM Pacific Time, November 3rd. That's the day after, and there will probably still be some recounts going on -- there's gonna be some shenanigans at the polls -- but we've got to pick a time and stick to it."

We have new interns! Let's have them sift through the bets and find the winner.

Big question: are we talking net pickups?

For instance, the GOP picked up 11 Governor's seats, but when you subtract 4 Dem pick-ups and 1 Independent pick-up, the net is 6.

You got new interns? I'm jealous. Nobody trusts me with new interns these days.

For some reason.

I had 67 House, 8 Senate. I want a hat, dammit! Like John Kerry.

Sorry, pal, but I had it at 63, 6 and 7 Governors.

As of this moment, RCP has it at 61, 6 and 6.

You better hope the vote-counters out there scrape up some more GOP winners by the end of the evening....

INTERNS?! my goodness. Are they going to permitted to post? Maybe under anonymous icons to keep them safe and keep their helicopter parents off your backs? Maybe we could have a contest naming the Intern icons:

Think One and Thing Two perhaps? Too cute?

By the way, which source do we use to decide? If you look around the web, there are variations, from RCP to Townhall to whoever. This needs to be defined.

I used to have a half-dozen or so interns at any given time.

But I'm such a lousy capitalist that I just couldn't bear to exploit them, so I always paid them well above minimum wage.

To counterbalance that, I did flog them rather frequently.

Houseboys? Alert Gutfeld! (yes, this thread has gone completely off the rails, but we need at least a week to get serious).

And obviously, Diane got to pick the interns. Indulgent, really.

Yeah, I mis-picked WV and Nevada.

Diane Ellis, Ed.

We'll decide the winner at 11pm as per Rob's post:

Ah, comeon, Diane. We got a week to let our Id run wild. Not in Charlie Sheen or Mel Gibson fashion, but still.

Quite annoyed by people telling me to grow up today. Bucnha commies.

Commies?! The only commies who've grown up are the party bosses. And they never, ever, want any other adults in the room.

That said, I'm with you, if it's not time for a brief party now, then it never will be. I'm gonna enjoy, indulge, and savor for the next few days. Then it's back to the big-boy chair.
