Dave

I think I've won after all

Bush 252 (minus -7 Iowa, -20 Ohio, -7 Oklahoma, -11 Tennessee, - 5 West Virginia = - 50) (plus +10 Minnesota, +11 Washington, Wisconsin +11 = + 32); so that's 286 - 50 +32 = 268!

Hawk 270 Yes!

Dave

[Josh/Devilman88]

Josh22 vs. Dave Hawk... that would be a cool map to see.  Could you play that one?

Josh22 vs. Dave Hawk... that would be a cool map to see.  Could you play that one?

Indeed , considering you beat Bush 279 to 259 and I beat him 270 to 268
