Thread backfire? 50 Obamas all the way.

lol - i should have kept my fingers off my keyboard i think - everybody i've talked to since thinks Obama wins plus Nate Silver moving Obama up to over 90% the likely winner.

no mas no mas :1orglaugh

It was pretty dangerous to bet against nate silver.

But, there was a lot of hope and talk, especially in certain circles, about a surprise win for romney.

You stood up for the thing you thought might happen, and hoped would happen. A man's gotta respect that.

Damn, why you didn;t take my bet, Mutt ?
You just costs me $500 :winkwink:

i only took 2 bets from this thread - bill8 and jscott

i'll settle up - send me an email Bill - mutt AT rogers dot com

fuck peggy noonan - she convinced me

should have listened to Nate Silver :Oh crap

Mutt, you are one of my favorite GFY posters, not to mention program owners.

But I'm glad to see that you lost this one. ;)

I think you took three

:winkwink:

I warned you 3-4 weeks back that you were reading the race all wrong. Could have saved yourself some $$$ if you listened.

The reason most Republicans (you not included Mutt) are so shocked by Romney's loss is that most of them LITERALLY live in a bubble. The leaders of their party have convinced them that anything outside of Fox News, Drudge, Daily Caller, National Review, and Rush Limbaugh should be considered the "Mainstream Media" and are not to be trusted.

So while a lot of America watched the race unfold and recognized the "Mittmentum" for the fraud and campaign gimmick that it really was (A page right out of Rove's playbook. Projecting momentum and inevitability)....a lot of others thought it was a dead heat because they were caught in the bubble.

A fucking thesis could be written on this race. The way that Republicans were in denial about the polls (newsflash: Dems won the partyID dual), the way Rasmussen and Gallup got it so wrong, the way the NeoCons sold a win to the party. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Sure, Karl Rove has a lot of explaining to do to the billionaires that gave him $300 million, but he'll be doing so while counting that 10% consulting fee ($30million bucks) he made off of this thing.

Awesome night. Can't wait for them to all start stabbing each other in the back and the Romney campaign post mortum comes out. Then all of the Repubs will know just how badly they were played.

:thumbsup

I wish I could let you off, man, but in my culture forgiving a bet is something you do for kids, and we are both men.

I would have paid if I lost. So, I'm going to honor you, by having you pay me. Email in a day or so.

You have my salute. Good play.

Relief...

a bet is a bet! i'll look for your email.

Mutt paid his bet with style. He's a stand-up guy. We all knew that, now we know it more.

Republicans, I wish you had put up a better candidate, and had a better message.

It's bittersweet to win a bet by betting on obama, who I dont like. I dont like him for very different reasons that you republicans don't like him, but I figured, with that bet, that I would win something no matter how the election turned out.

I'd been studying nate silver, so i didn't think I would lose.
