    He asked me to name the stakes, and the mods here know my name and like to post it at times.

    Deal? Romney wins, I get $200 from ToB. Obama wins, I pay ToB $200 cash wherever he wants me to pay it.

    Guess the "consulting" business must be picking up if you can afford to throw away $200.

    Guess the moderating business must be slow if you have time to troll me.

    meh, that $200 will only be worth $140 in today's dollars by election time.

    It might be a parody too.

    Whatever it is, it sure feels a lot like 2004, but Romney being John Kerry

    Rather than throwing your money away wouldn't it be better to donate it? That money could buy a lot of backpacks!

    Since I don't know your name and have never posted it can I just make up one for you and post that?

    Bad bet Papa. Obama sucks ass, but he's going to win unfortunately. Too many people in this country want the government to take care of them.

    The perception of the Pacific NW is interesting. It's almost like an echo chamber. I'm reminded of the quote attributed to Pauline Kael, a doyenne of Manhattan society: "How could Nixon have won? I don't know anyone who voted for him!"

    Here in Colorado, in 2008, you didn't see any signs for McCain or against Obama. After the election, there were still plenty of Obama and anti-Republican bumper stickers. I started to notice a change in 2010. Now in 2012, even in my overwhelmingly Democratic neighborhood, there are a fraction of Obama signs and more worrying for the Democrats, there are a ton of yards with Romney signs. When you drive around, you're also seeing many more anti-Obama bumper stickers.

    It's an imperfect measure, but still the change is telling. We'll see how it pans out in November.

    OK PagaG, I'll make this official.

    I really haven't been following this election very closely, but I love a good bet and your giving me the incumbent . . . I'll take it.

    I love the additional bonus if I win you will pay it wherever I want . . . Mick's house comes to mind. :)

    Good luck . . . . funny that I have more interest now that I have a bet on it. I wonder if other voters are feeling as apathetic as I am about this upcoming election.

    I sense payment by either side will come in the form of 20,000 pennies.

    No, I got no personal beef with papa. I don't like his posting style, but on the flip side he does keep this place active.

    I expect $200 in bills, and he can expect the same

    You should probably leave Zagger and where he lives out of this but if you two agree to meet at a public place I will meet you both there and buy you each a drink.
