Yup, hes real.
He used to be a writer and do skits on Saturday Night Live.
He wrote a book a few yrs ago about Rush Limbaugh. Big Stupid Fat Idiot it was called or something close to that.
The race is actually close but then we voted in a wrestler for governor so........

spot the bookmaker offers 15,000 casino dollars winnings to everyone betting 1,000 casino dollars that the Republicans will win the 2008 Presidency.

spot the bookmaker offers 12,000 casino dollars winnings to everyone betting 1,000 casino dollars that the Republicans will have at least 45 senators in the aftermath of Tuesday's election out of the 100 available seats.

spot the bookmaker offers 10,000 casino dollars winnings to everyone betting 1,000 casino dollars that the Republicans will have at least 185 Representatives in the aftermath of Tuesday's election out of the 435 available seats.

Is anyone that incautious?
I'll take that bet...

My cynical side cannot refrain from taking your $5,000...

Re: spot the bookmaker's Election Special

I'm delighted. I thought it might be tempting. Okay, if there's at least 45 Republican Senators after the election you'll win 5,000 casino dollars.

Why's the bet on the House of Representatives unattractive?

Well I jumped the gun I think...

I seen the 45 seats and couldn't imagine the Republicans going below it and decided to make the decision to take that bet...

Seeing as how I only have about $1076 casino dollars I'm forced to stick to my bet...

I think the House bet is more to my liking but oh well...

Re: spot the bookmaker's Election Special

Would you rather swap?

You could have 500 casino dollars on each if you like, spread the risk.

You got the odds from an earlier version of the post, I changed them to what they show now almost as soon as I made the post. They're 12:1 and 10:1 and the presidency is on 15:1.

Re: spot the bookmaker's Election Special

I heard the equivalent of the Dean Scream this morning. My goodness, John McCain sounded demented.

Don't give up hope. Be strong, have courage, fight for what's right for America. Stand up. Stand up and fight, nothing is inevitable here, we never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history.

Have I got the general tone right? All he left out was "never apologize".

America needs bars around the country, seriously. How could anyone vote for yet another froth-spittled killer like that?

Re: spot the bookmaker's Election Special

Splash One.
In the first voting of the day, Mr Obama defeated his rival by 15 votes to six in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire. The town, which has a 60-year tradition of being first in the nation to vote, opened its polls at midnight, with turnout of 100%. George W Bush won there in 2004 on his way to re-election. Tuesday's vote was the first time the town had gone Democrat since 1968.
