If you suspected it would be about us telling you who's going to win, you're wrong. No — this time, you're telling us. On Wednesday, we published Beat the Pundit, a special interactive version of our long-running Post Pundit Power Ranking that asks you, the reader, to give us your best guesses as to who wins 15 key contests this cycle. Then, it pits those predictions against the picks of our expert columnists. After the election, we'll score everyone's ballot and let you know who comes out on top. And don't worry — if you're more collaborative than competitive, there's a feature for you, too: Plug in your picks, and we'll tell you which of our writers you're most simpatico with. You may be surprised by the answer. Tens of thousands of readers have played so far. You don't want to miss out on the fun, do you? Our columnists made their midterm picks. Can you beat their predictions? In a special edition of the Post Pundit Power Ranking, we want readers to play pundit and tell us who you predict to win this cycle's biggest midterm battles.
