Money Time! Let's Ge'it!

The firm I'm looking at has been the most accurate in the last two elections. It all comes down to fundamentals at the end of the day....and the fundamentals are MINE!!!!

It's on in about 18 hours!!!!

FD, as far as this being a good bet, based on the numbers I see, my odds are slightly over 50%....even if they're a flat 50/50, where do you get odds like that in Vegas.

I don't know what odds/fundamentals you are looking at but okay. Be sure your Paypal account is active and able to make a payment.

ditto to you.

I'm surprised there weren't any others who did side bets or anything, not even $$$ related.

and no matter who wins tomorrow, we're still stuck with MS & crew. I'd gladly put down $ 500 to have them gone.

I guess I can't talk about stupid bets I have a running bet with a buddy thats $100 per season that either Dallas or Skins sweep the series. I think I have won once in the past 10 yrs and he has won like 5 times. The bet was $50 per game but its a wash if they split so thats how we came up with the bet.

Here in our part of VA I hear voting turn out is very high.

saden1 · 11-06-2012, 10:39 AM

This is the first year in WA where voting is via mail. They do have a few polling places in certain counties for Senior Citizens and people who didn't get their ballots. We won't know the real results for a few weeks but we know the results...this is Blue Country!

Heading out to the polls in a few, I'm hearing/seeing the same (drove by one of the schools earlier, it's packed).

WASHINGTON — For his first annual budget next week, President Obama has banned four accounting gimmicks that President George W. Bush used to make deficit projections look smaller. The price of more honest bookkeeping: A budget that is $2.7 trillion deeper in the red over the next decade than it would otherwise appear, according to administration officials.

The latest on President Obama, the new administration and other news from Washington and around the nation. Join the discussion.

The new accounting involves spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Medicare reimbursements to physicians and the cost of disaster responses.

But the biggest adjustment will deal with revenues from the alternative minimum tax, a parallel tax system enacted in 1969 to prevent the wealthy from using tax shelters to avoid paying any income tax.

I think he was being funny bro. Romney claimed credit for the Patriots super bowls and the Red Sox championships. He too was being funny.
