Put up or shut up. Who's willing to bet thier ECCIE ID on the election results?

As much as I do not want it to happen, I think that President Obama will win the election by less than 1 million votes. But the Electoral gap. will be bigger.

Why? Because we have turned into a Country where the majority say, "ask not what you can do for your Country, but what your Country can do for you". It's that simple.

The only way things will improve is if President Obama, who will be a lame duck 1 second after he takes the oath of office, will recognize that it is not the millions who want a hand out, and who he pandered too, who make this Country work, it is the millions who show inititive in business and productivity.

If he doesn't cross the isle, he will go down as the worse President in History. If he does cross the isle, his base will turn on him in a second. Remember, the Chris Mathews of the world are just as radical and idiotic in their fevor for the leftist agenda as they ever were for the President.

He has a tough row to hoe. I doubt there is enough Greitan Formula made to keep him from looking tired and old before it's over. Originally Posted by Jackie S

Just to be clear: I'm not advocating it, hoping for it, planning on it, or wishing it would happen...but if Obama gets re-elected, I would be very surprised if at lease one knucklehead doesn't take a shot at him. It's happened to far more popular Presidents, and it's happened far too many times. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but if I'm not, I won't be in the least surprised.

If Obama is re-elected, for God's sake, pray for his safety!

I can agree with you on that, BigTurd. Mark this day on your calendar. Unless of course, you want to flame me for agreeing with you.

Where is Budman- I had a $500 bet on the election and like a coward Budman comes up with these weird stipulations that I would have to meet him in his own city to collect the debt- what a fucking weasel he is- however, I agree with Jackie S- the overall vote will be very close and the electoral advantage will go to Obama

Fuck you you piece of shit mother fucker. I told you from the beginning what my terms were for the bet. Take it or leave it. You, like the stupid fuck you are, want to pay via Western Union. I don't trust you or any other fuck on this hooker board. I have told you several times that if you are so trusting then get one of your lib comrades in SA or Austin to make the bet for you. I'll make the $500 bet based on payment being made by inaguration day in either SA or Austin and we each can bring an Eccie member as a witness. If you want to make the bet those are my terms, period. Suck a dick you lying piece of shit.

at the end of the day not one single person actually trusts anyone on this board enough to place a bet ..

so why in hell do you keep making an offer to place a god damn bet in the first place ?

lmao

I agree with CBJ7! It's the Apocalypse!

I'm still willing to make the original bet that I offered: Find a provider who'll bet on Obama and I'll bet on Romney. If Obama wins, I'll pay double her normal hourly rate for a 30 minute date, but if Romney wins, I get 2 hours for her normal 30 minute rate.

The only stipulation is that her menu can't be too restrictive. But that would be a subject of negotiation once the lady comes forward.

John Nance Garner, FDR's first VP, said the vice presidency "wasn't worth a warm bucket of piss." If Biden was to serve as VP in a Romney administration, I'm sure he'd agree with Garner's assessment. I don't think Romney would let him do anything, except go to funerals, with the agreement that he wouldn't talk. Originally Posted by joe bloe

Honestly, it might not be the worst thing that ever happened. Think about it this way: The Vice President of the United States is a largely ceremonial office. Other than casting a vote to break a tie in the Senate, he has no constitutional duties at all. So if Romney wanted to, and if Biden was agreeable, they could get together on a few things that both parties agree on, and actually get something done.

Remember, this isn't such a far-fetched idea. The framers of the Constitution had the runner up in the Presidential election become the Vice President at the dawn of our country. The theory was that they'd put partisan politics aside and work together for the good of all. Now obviously it's too much to expect that this would work in the long run, but for a select few issues in a short period of time, it might at least have a fighting chance.

Also, consider this: Joe Biden is smart enough to know that regardless of what happens with Obama this election, Biden's not going to be the Democratic nominee in 2016. But put Biden as Romney's VP and he has a chance to show that he can work with the Republicans; it would be the coup to end all coups. Biden could position himself as the presumptive nominee of the Democratic party in four years, and he'd be able to trumpet the fact that he worked with Romney to make significant changes.

I want to see an electoral tie. That way we'd probably have a Romney - Biden administration. Talk about fun! Originally Posted by Poet Laureate

Are we betting or not. I want a new thread where everyone says it. Nipples has too as well. I'm down. Has anyone else agreed for real? I can't really tell with all the bickering.

Oh that's a great idea. Whoever loses is the vice president. That is perfect!! And sorry, I can't bet that Obama will win poop. I voted Romney.
