On the other hand, I'm suspecting rather heavily that the Republicans will do better on the downballot races. Just call it a gut feeling.

Oooh, you wan't to do Warren/Brown, then?

How about Rehberg/Tester?

The person supporting regenerating health, when asked why you can see when shot in the eye justified it as 'you put on an eyepatch'. When asked what happens when you are then shot in the other eye, he said that you put an eyepatch on that eye. When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.

I'm calling it for the big O. If I'm wrong, Romney avatar for a month.

No, until 2013 starts.

Trollheiming, does that mean you accepted the bet, btw? This is going to be fun. ^_^
Sure thing.

Btw, Kon already took on Sheb pages back, so I guess that leaves me and you, GlyphGryph. I was willing to pile onto the previous bet, but this arrangement evens it out.

There was a primate intelligence study done years ago where they would place two plates full of candy in front of a chimpanzee. One plate would have obviously more candy than the other. The chimps were trained to choose a plate, and would get to keep the plate that they didn't pick. Despite multiple trials in which the chimps came to fully understand the rules of the exercise, they couldn't stop themselves from choosing the plate with the most candy.

This is not off topic.

Did he? Okay, if so, sure, I'll balance that out for the month bet.

GreatJustice, I don't who they are, but it seems pretty close. If Trollheim would rather put himself opposite someone else, I'll pick up that one with you.

I'm hearing the number 80% turnout in Richmond tossed around.  If this is true then Obama's turnout is amazing.  We might expect to see North Carolina go Obama again with that kind of GOTV.

Whoever wins (my money's on Obama), I know the first thing that will happen:

Everyone who supported the loser will wake up in the middle of the night, run out, and rip off all stickers, signs, etc. that they have in order to not look stupid.

Everyone who supported the winner will wake up in the middle of the night, run out, and slather on all their remaining stickers and wall in their yard with signs in order to say "I told you so".

So on TV, I've been seeing ads for Macy's "Election Day Sale".

For shame, turning the political process into an excuse for a sale. What's next? 9/11 Sales?

"We're blowing up high prices! They're crashing to the ground! It's plane and simple! Never forget... to check out the Macy's 9/11 sale!"

And if you want unbiasedness, CNN is probably the best mainstream network. [MS]NBC is rather liberal, and we all know about Faux.

The avatar results of this contest should really be better than just boring pictures of Rombama, though. They should be something crazy or interesting or photoshopped, like Obamney riding into the sun on the state of Vermont.

Romney laying on a binder full of women?

Romney beating off sinners with magic underwear?

Romney falling over because he has no spine?
