    Does anyone have any personal bets on the election? Anything outlandish?

    I bet a co-worker $5 that Bush would win. Not that I necessarily want him to win, but because I think he will.


    On a side note, I'm supremely pissed that my wife is off work today, and I am not.

    No bets here but I finally have been brought over to the Kerry side. I hope he wins.

    No bets...but I would love to place a bet on Bush to win. Mostly because I am the worst gambler in the history of gambling, if I draw a natural 21 the dealer has one too. So if I were to bet on the POTUS, Kerry would be in the White House for the next 4 years.

    And I am editing this...just because its my first time to be able to edit something. :cool:

    I'd certainly like to place a bet on Bush to win, that way I win no matter who gets elected.

    I've got a bet with Batman that Bush will capture 57% of the pop vote. If he wins he gets 2 Rox tix if i win I get his signature.

    Oh yeah and I have another bet with someone that if Bush gets less than 55% I give Clutch $10 and if he gets more he gives him $10,000.

    This is a very important vote.

    Even if Kerry wins, he will have a hard time getting his policies through a republican congress...BUT...1-4 Supreme Court justices COULD be selected by the winner of this race.

    A balance of power might shift in the Supreme Court to a more liberal court. I'm not sure if the Bush campaign pushed this fact very much. They could have reached back out to their base with this fact.

    If a Bush endorsement from this poster doesn't enourage people to vote for Kerry, I don't know what will.
