The winners of Contest No. 1 finally announced

Previously, I wrote this:

The winner of this contest will be announced on August 23, and then we will start the next political contest.

None of that is true, in keeping with the 2024 presidential election. I did not announce the winner on August 23. And I may or may not have a next political contest on this site.

But I am announcing the winners now, and they are a sorry bunch of political prognosticators. Here are the entries and their scores:

My predictions:

  1. Trump, Tim Scott, Biden, Harris = 1 right

Can anyone beat my score of one? Here are the other entries:

2. Trump, Kristi Noem, Biden, Harris = 1 right

3. Trump, Elise Stefanik, Biden, Harris = 1 right

4. Nikki Haley, Francis Suarez, Biden, Harris = 0 right

Will the loser of entry 4 with zero right step forward? According to the rules of this contest, you will donate $100 to a charity of my choice. So please sent $100 to Operation Nightwatch.

This blog’s first 2024 political contest announced

In madcapschemes.com first political contest for 2024, you need to name the Republican and Democratic presidential and vice-presidential candidates.

So that you get no help from the American voters (ha!), your entries are due before January 15, 2024, when the Iowa caucuses take place.

The winner(s) will be picked after the GOP and the Democratic Conventions happen and the candidates are selected. The madcapscheme winners will be announced on August 22, after the Democratic Convention ends. The candidates picked then will win the contest here. Even if more tapes like the Hollywood Access one or if repaired but neglected Mac laptops are found at computer shops that should have dumped previous candidates before Election Day (but did not), our winner will be those candidates selected, not the ones on the ballot Nov. 5, 2024. No matter what happens.

Fill out your ballots and send them in a comment as a list (1. Alfred E. Neuman 2. Elmer Fudd. 3. Elmer Gantry. 4. Ramasses II). I will post mine as well. Anyone who beats my selections can name a charity that I will donate to. The donation amount will depend on corn and soybean prices, but don’t imagine anything past low three digits (maybe two if enough people beat me). If we tie — all end up with the same selections – there will be a general call to donate to the charity you would have chosen. Amount up to you.
