I would love to see that happen (you eating your computer I mean) can, I get that in writing? Wait it is already in writing.

Anyway, I am gonna save this page, I hope you have a hearty appetite.


byw, I had a typo in mu numbers.

I meant Obama would win 347 to 191, but I guess you got what I meant because I doubt you would eat your PC if he got 247

The Dems should be terrified (at least from that party's wicked perspective), since the average American is sick and tired of being deceived and taken advantage of while the country goes down the toilet. Socialism has proven that it will not work in America. Never has and never will. Republicans will take back the Senate and Romney will take the White House.

"Obama re-elected" is dropping on Intrade, maybe not like a rock but maybe more like a chickadee flying from an oak tree to a blackberry bush. The odds were steady at 60-61 for several months, then just last week dipped under 60. Now at 57.9

Know the difference between terror and concern, Trace. This is an election, not an invasion from outer space. We are not fighting aliens with 16 eyes for the existence of the human race.

Democrats want our guy to win, so of course we are concerned. We are not taking this election for granted, just as we never take an election for granted.

Exaggeration does help to further Romney, and does not strike any fear in the Democrats. It's just stupid, and promotes the longstanding belief that all Republicans are stupid. I know this is not true in general, but I'm not so sure about some individuals here. I hope you don't prove to be one of them.

Mike, I wouldn't worry about my intelligence level if I were you. I didn't put this idiot into office. You did.

That's just your opinion, and once more, all you have to support it is more name calling. All the name calling does is prolong the deadlock in Washington, and that is bad for all of us equally.

Until civility is regained and both parties start respecting each other again, we are all going to just continue to watch nothing but a dunce's dance go on and on, with no good coming from it.

Only a fool continues his losing ways.

Every time I start to get nervous, I look at the GOP alternative, and I don't feel nervous any more.

Terrified? I want Obama to win, but an intelligent person would be more worried about actual problems in the world like the greek financial crisis, energy prices due to increased foreign demand, etc. Both parties need to pull their heads out of their backsides if we want to get some real legislation passed. We should take both sides wants and split them down the middle, because I can promise you that with a Romney presidency there is still going to be bottleneck because the house nor the senate are going to have a clear majority. I predict obama wins but the house will still be republican controlled and the senate will still be democratically controlled meaning two more years of nothing getting done.
