James Bow has the election pool. RevMod has the Gaffe pool. So I figured I’d jump in with a little game of “20 questions“. You just answer the 20 questions bellow and get a score out of 100 – call it your political IQ, if you like.

No prize for the winner as of yet (except for pride of course…). You can enter your answers in the comments section bellow or via e-mail. Contest closes at midnight Friday.

1. Will the Liberals win a seat in Alberta (10 points)

2. Over/Under Conservative support in Quebec – 9% (5 points)

3. Which party will run the most vicious attack ad (I get to play judge and jury on this one) (5 points)

4. Which party will win Ottawa Centre? (3 points)

5. Svend Robinson or Heddy Fry? (3 points)

6. Will the Bloc crack 60 seats? (5 points)

7. Will Marc Garneau win his seat? (3 points)

9. Will Olivia Chow win her seat? (3 points)

10. Will Jean Lapierre keep his seat? (3 points)

11. What date will the first abortion reference be made during the campaign? (5 points for person who is closest, 4 points for second closest, etc.)

12. Number of times Stephen Harper mentions “corruption” in first English debate (5 points for correct guess, minus 1 for every one away you are)
