My bet offer still stands. Will anyone take this bet?

I pick Obama to win the election and you pick Romney. Winner gets to pick the losers avatar for the entire next presidential term.

No, thanks. I pick Ron Paul... and I KNOW he ain't winning.

EDIT: boards, I've no doubt that you've run the numbers yourself, which is part of why you're offering this bet. Did you take into account that it's projected that 40% of Libertarians are writing-in Ron Paul? (For interested parties, only 5% are projected to vote Johnson, while 55% will abstain from voting in protest). A lot of people think those votes will be taken straight out of Romney's mouth... but I don't think so. Not at all.

Just curious.

I basically just look at the electoral map polls. Obama still leads there handily. He lost some ground after the first debate, though he is now gaining that back. Also, he leads in every single toss-up state except for Florida and South Carolina.

Obama no longer leads in Ohio.

300 electoral votes?

Hmm, interesting. Are you losing your touch now that you're an old married guy, boards??! I'm genuinely surprised that you didn't get out ye olde Excel spreadsheet and do the math yourself!

Oh God, here we go again . . . . . no he does not . . . . I know you love Pew and Rasmussen and they lucked out in 08 but the RCP average gives the edge to Obama, still a toss up.

Just give it a couple of days...the polls are turning for Romney. I know you don't like it, but that is what's happening.

We'll just have to see on the 6th if they're right.

I just heard that last night on Willie's Roadhouse, live from the Grand Ole Opry.

Now that we have THAT important tidbit out of the way:

WOOHOO, we've got a bet on the table!! I don't gamble, ever, but I sure do get excited when other people bet over stuff like this (not for money).

Hey now, sisters or not, a bet is a bet and you should know by now that I hate both of those guys equally! I already cast my vote, and I wrote-in Ron Paul.

Noooo... The right arn't the ones that have been bragging and boasting about a landslide.

300 isn't even a landslide... I'm being generous.

It's a good thing you excluded my dumbarse state of California from this bet because I am admittedly too stupid to understand the electoral college and exactly how it works. I mean, I get the basics, yeah... but do I REALLY get how it works? Nosir.

And so with that, I thank you for taking me out of the running.
