Our quality-control department head

We couldn’t help but notice that most of the commenters on our site seem to have a political opinion or two. (Well, most of the commenters on our site are selling erection pills and ways to meet Russian women. Our spam filter is a fascinating place.)

So here goes. Both authors will sign a copy of Control Your Cash: Making Money Make Sense and make it yours if you come closest to guessing:

-the number of seats each party takes in the House of Representatives;
-same deal for the Senate.

The tiebreaker is the number of governorships by party. The 2nd tiebreaker would involve darts. Just leave a comment on this post, and do it uniformly so we can easily scan the entries, e.g.

House: 202 Democrats, 232 Republicans, 1 other
Senate: 52 Democrats, 48 Republicans
Governors: 19 Democrats, 30 Republicans, 1 other

Again, we’re looking for totals. If you write something like “The Republicans will gain 57 seats in the House, and…” you might technically win but we’ll dog-ear a couple of pages just to ruin the resale value of the book.
Ah, the book. Here’s a sample chapter: bit.ly/CYCFree
And here’s what the Amazon reviewers have to say about Control Your Cash: amzn.to/cRd8md

We’ll mail the winner’s copy out once everything’s official, so you’d better hope we don’t have another one of these. Good luck. Contest closes TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1 at 4 a.m. Pacific.
