Rachel Maddow

Here's a fun game!  Or at least, here's a game!

It's "Guess Rachel Maddow's Shoe Color!"

In the next photo, Ms. Maddow will have emerged from behind the window ledge, revealing her brightly colored shoes.  Take a moment now to jot down your guess.

Hint: it's the color Ms. Maddow would like to see states turn on electoral maps on Tuesday night.

Additional hint: Ms. Maddow is known to be politically left-leaning.

Additional hint: the Democratic party is the major U.S. political party generally associated with the "left."

Yet another hint: political maps traditionally assign the color red to states won by the Republican presidential candidate, and blue to states won by the Democratic presidential candidate.  

Did you make your guess yet?  (You're not one of those undecided voters, are you?)

Ready?

How much longer can I delay the reveal?

Hint: a little longer.

Additional hint: a "hint" is an indirect clue or suggestion.

That wasn't really a hint, was it?  Sorry.  Here are Rachel Maddow's shoes.

It'll be very interesting to see how things play out Tuesday night: Rachel Maddow's sneakers vs. two little girls' coats.

Good luck to all maps, states, and colors on Tuesday, and thanks to everyone who played or pretended to play!
