I cannot wait until he blows it so all his supports can cry like little bitches. They are the most annoying fucking people. I cannot believe they actually think he will actually change things. He is just a politician.

Inttrade gives 2:1 odds for Obama. Charlie Cook believes that Obama has a slight edge, but that Inttrade betters overestimate Obama’s chances by a fair margin.

I’ll note that the OP lacks facts or substantiation of any kind, and should therefore not be taken seriously - that would be wrong.

Stupid OP at best.

Should we comparably gloat when McCain loses?

Trying to gloat ahead of the actual fact: really that’s just a sign of weakness.

I’m not seeing this thread as anything other than pointless provocation. Given the large number of threads discussing the election (in far more interesting terms), I’m closing this one.
