Fanboys are adorable.

Kremlin, since you're new to these parts, I'll let you in on a little secret. I've been a fanboy of his for over a decade, as he used to be my only voice in congress. That number, of course, has been multiplied exponentially.

Repug, I agree with you completely. But I also agree with f3lix and FC; it's important to sometimes put your money where your mouth is.

Repugnant Abomination · 08-14-2011, 07:17 PM

Okay so what's the bet? I

literally

never bet, so I'm a complete noob. You're really going to have to spell it out for me.

On the lighter side. Pawlenty is out according to CNN iPhone app.

Are you illiterate?

Repug, I outlined the bet. I bet one penny against everything you have.

I'm not inclined to a bet either, but Paul seems to be making noise on the local level in Perry country. Most people who consider themselves "republican to the point of sanity" who've I've come in contact with this weekend are rolling their eyes at Perry's announcement. Ron Paul gets more favorable table talk.

It would take too long to explain to an education/music major from Muncie Junior College. So, I'll just go with "no."

Repug this is a must-do if you believe he has absolutely no chance!!!

Repugnant Abomination · 08-15-2011, 09:07 PM

The likely reward of taking this bet isn't worth the risk, extremely low as it may be. The whole putting up or shutting up point is well taken, but obviously I was speaking in hyperbole to add emphasis to my argument. Props for calling my bluff, if you want to call it that - obviously any person running has at least a 1% chance of winning. All that being said, Dr. Paul definitely won't be winning the nomination

ninjaface · 08-15-2011, 10:59 PM

Ron Paul is being ignored by all major media outlets. It would take a miracle. f3lix... do you have a favor you can call in from god?

Ok Well I'm willing to structure the bet a little differently: I'll take Ron Paul and you can Rudy Giuliani. If neither wins the nomination there is no blood. Surely Rudy Giuliani must have a chance!

Most miracles have less than 3% chance of happening...

Giuliani isn't running.

Ok how about this one. We'll do Michele Bachmann vs Ron Paul but with odds. If Ron Paul wins I win 3x. If Bachmann wins you win x. Surely Michele Bachmann has a chance!?

A draw is no blood.

That far too often people assume things to be impossible when they are far from it. 3% isn't anywhere near the realm of impossible.

By the way, UMB posted on the jiu-jitsu thread yesterday.
