Read it and weep. Obama is going down. Those polls are WITH the ridiculous turnout models and they STILL show Romney winning.
Jesus god. Did you bother to check the electoral vote section on this site or the battleground state polls?

You do know we live in a Republic, right? That means that the popular vote isnt the deciding factor. You understand that, right?

I've made the bet, it's you who's chicken to take it. If you really thought Oblama had it in the bag, you'd bet me. Even if you lose, you'd be helping charity. But we know liberals only like giving other people's money away. Hence the yellow stripe down your back.

I'm not sure why someone who claims that would be afraid of a little bet. I personally don't know who is going to win, I'm leaning towards Obama but I wouldn't be surprised if Romney wins.

"No toss ups" presumes Obama wins all toss up states where the race is tied, i.e. within the margin of error. You don't know much about polling or elections, so I'm not surprised you think Obama is going to win.

I know my candidate will lose, Gary Johnson, I'm just hoping for a 5% popular vote turn out.
Oh I'm in if that's the case. Self imposed ban for a week after the election is declared if Romney loses.

No you haven't, I checked the thread and don't see your name. The only bets you are willing to make are useless bets that no one can confirm. Take the bet that everyone on here can see. I think deep down inside your scared that Obama will win and you don't have faith in your candidate.

No, I don't make bets that don't involve the other side losing anything--as I stated above. It's you who's chicken and everyone knows it. You are afraid to put your money where your loud mouth is.

Pffffffft....if he loses, he loses. Someone loses every 4 years. I've yet to see any mass suicides over an election loss.

I want Obama to win, but my life (and everyone else's life) will go on if he loses. Damn..you guys must peg your lives to election wins and losses. Losers.

I think Obama is going to win based off of predictions made by people who make that their lives work. I can understand why you would find that confusing as you supports a party that thinks global warming is a scam and finds science as a whole to be scary and threatening.

Ok, I'll match your bet. I'll put the same amount your willing to put in. Now will you take my bet? Chicken???? Man up.
