    Anyone convinced that Romney is going to win could triple their money right now if they put the bet down on Intrade.

    Yeah, but they would have to find someone to take that bet.

    What I mean is right now, this instant, anyone convinced of a Romney landslide can make big money if they are right. Just go to the site and do it.

    How the hell, sandbagger, does Romney win PA and OH without winning NV?

    He does so in sandbagger's delusions. Sandbagger's delusions are a nasty place that no sentient entity has ever survived.

    No. Just not going to waste their time, probably.

    The "we've got better things to do", tactic?
    Really?
    That's so 2001.

    Your own "analysis" is not a source. It's a figment of your imagination, Bueller.

    He asked where I was "getting my Romney Landslide idea" from. He asked I answered.

    That's why you provided links to the data in every one of those sources that helped you form your opinion. :yes: Because it's not like you could just say you consulted them to cover the fact that you're making things up.

    You want links to four years worth of news articles from dozens of news outlets from around the country and the world?

    Here ya' go.

    I can't provide links to thousands of private conversations.
    I'm giving my opinion based on my analysis of events of the last four years. You don't like, you don't like it.

    Aw, that's adorable! You really expect anyone but your mother to believe you've been meticulously gathering data for four years. Even your mother would point out that your pants are setting off the smoke alarms.


    On the contrary, I love it. It'll be hilarious in the postmortem.

    I realize the idea that someone might bother to keep themselves informed is a strange concept nay almost alien concept to you.

    Garamet we discuss poilitics and the news on a daily basis here. Or have you not noticed?



    I've yet to be wrong. Although 2000 came close.

    Speaking of Romney losing, I just passed Scott Brown on the street. He was heading into a hotel where I suspect (based on the number of news trucks and black suburbans (ie secret service) he and Romney will be holding their commiseration party this evening.

    Your belief that you're informed is the most ill-informed and idiotic belief ever publicly proclaimed by anyone on wordforge.

    Are saying that people who read the NYT, WaPo, the wire services, and what not are uninformed? That's quite a damning indictment you've leveled at the Fourth Estate.

    You have to remember that Liet thinks anyone with an opinion different from his is "uninformed." Kind of a standard liberal thing.

    See, you don't even understand Liet's post, yet you expect us to believe you've gathered four years' worth of data that have led you, and no one else on the planet, to the conclusions you've arrived at.

    In one post and the followup he declares himself informed and proves himself illiterate. It's quite entertaining.

    I am the lone voice in the wilderness saying Romney is going to win. :jayzus:
