It's a race, so let's bet

Two weeks to go before the election, people. Who's gonna win?

Some readers asked what my thoughts were. My thoughts are: Your chances would be better with a Magic 8-Ball.

Therefore I defer to the wisdom of the blogosphere. Who do you guys think will win? Not who you think ought to win, but who really will win.

Click here to take the survey. It's anonymous and I won't know who voted for whom. That means I'm counting on your honor not to engage in any Internet shenanigans, like, say, that "freeping" incident back in 2004 in which a council candidate asked members of a conservative Web site to bombard a Web survey put out by KNOX radio's Dakota Huseby.

The survey closes at noon, June 7.

By the way, the Magic 8-ball says Mike McNamara will win Ward 2 and Art Bakken will win in Ward 6.

The 8-ball's not so sure about Mac, though. It wouldn't answer the first two times I asked but gave the thumbs up the third time around. It likes Art more, but would only say "outlook good" the first time around before settling on "signs point to yes."
