I'll offer you a special bet if you like - I'll pay you 100,000 casino dollars if Senator Obama wins Texas, if you'll pay me 100 casino dollars if he loses Texas. That's odds of a thousand to one which is overconfidence in a bookmaker on something so uncertain as a landslide election.
see I have no idea how he did in Texas, I was beting he would win in Illinois because that's his second home.

thing is to, if we are betting together for Obama in Illionis to win, ours is a win win situation right?

will have to study up some more

off to bed, we shall continue tomorrow.
