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.

Kon, the offer is open to you too.

That's a bet

Yeah, Kon is taken. If you are wanting to do someone else on Senate races--not my cup of tea--I guess I can do the deal with Zrk2 to spread things out as evenly as possibly.

Obama might actually win Florida.

I live in the conservative panhandle, and locally Obama is ahead 49.5% to 49.1% so far.

Hey nadaka which county in the panhandle do you live?

Maybe a little too close, that.

Frumple actually knows, though. Nad's like a 45 minute drive from me :P

If Romney wins, I'll eat all my pot.

And I'll sport this for the rest of this forum's existence, if he does win:


Mostly because it seems like he's mocking me, and if he becomes president I want to be reminded of it every single time I come here.

I'd like in on this bet. If Romney wins, my avatar will be Romney's head shopped onto this picture (almost certainly NSFW).

EDIT: My reasoning:
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.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Oh God.  It's coming.

Just a couple more hours.

Finally.  No more speculation.  No more suspicion.  No more arguing.

Can you feel it people?

It's almost here.

Finally we'll know.

We'll know at last!




We'll know who's running in 2016!

Who are you yelling at?

Why are you yelling?

Why do you think whoever you're yelling at can influence the outcome?

PLEASEDON'TLETROMNEYWIN!

Amen, brother.

I can't influence the outcome- just hope.

At this rate, probability is on our side. The most optimistic (for Romney, I mean... pessimistic for me) report of Romney's chances is about 20%... more than I wish, but still not much.

Dear The Media, do you really have to give us the projected results from the states that everyone already knows the outcome of first, and what makes these projected results any better than the projected results from before the election, eh?

I'd be in favor of having no results until there are actual tabulated results to report.

I know nothing about Senate races, but I'd consider it.

Amen Brother!  I can see calling a state after 50% of the results are in.  I can see calling after even only 25.  But when no votes have been counted, it gets a bit ridiculous.

Sooo... Four more years then?
Well look on the bright side, you can only go twice in the USA, right? So after that, there will be nobody to stop the Romney rein of terror! Unless Gore wants to give it another shot...

It looks like NC is going to be close. 15% counted and Obama is winning, 53-47.

Kentucky is basically confirmed for Romney, though by significantly less of a margin than McCain won by.

Wut.

But VA is 8% in and Romney is winning there by 20 percentage points...
