Manzi, a Democrat, writes a political blog on his Web site, billmanzi.com. He vows to give a $20 Starbucks gift card to the person who can correctly predict the Republican and Democratic picks for vice president.
"In the case of a tie, I will draw the winner by pulling a name from those tied out of a hat (or something resembling a hat)," Manzi wrote. "I will send the winner a $20 store card for Starbucks at the fabulous Loop in Methuen (good at any Starbucks, but the coffee tastes better in Methuen)!"
"If no one enters, I will award myself the gift card, even if I am wrong on the picks," he wrote. "If I am in violation of any state or federal contest laws, please wait until the contest is over before reporting me."
The mayor offered his guesses during an interview: "I'm gonna say, on the Republican side, the governor of Minnesota, (Tim) Pawlenty. And on the Democratic side ... that's a hard one ... I think I'm gonna say the Virginia governor (Tim Kaine)."
"I'll probably go down in flames on both of them," he added.
The mayor is asking readers to send their picks to veepcontest@comcast.net, and he's only allowing one entry per person. He's asking people to submit their name and address so he knows where to send the prize.
