The 2008 Gap Casting Call voting period ended yesterday (December 21, 2008) and while the winners have yet to be announced, I’m making my own thoroughly unscientific projections based on each contestant’s aggregate YouTube video views for the contest period ending on December 22, 2008 at 3PM.

Time will tell if my YouTube predictions are anywhere close to the real results, the official winners will be announced “some time in January 2009.” In the mean time, I’ve done a little cursory statistical analysis with the YouTube data, take it for what you will, I don’t claim to be Nate Silver.

Recently came across a mother who’s child SHOULD be entered in the contest! She’s a single mother(husband passed ina car crash during pregnancy) and I approached her about entering her beautiful 5 month old boy. She doesn’t know much about it but I feel that she deserves something after all she’s been through. Her son is adorable(as many other kids), but I feel this could really be a “spirit-lifter†for her!
Please join me in this support! All I ask is 1 vote!You can do it daily if you really want to show some support*
Thank you
Sincerely,
Daisy
