    I'd call 60/40 a landslide (320 EV) given the anti-Bush, anti-Iraq, anti-republican sentiments and I'll concede lowering the the odds to 6:1.

    If I lose I'll leave poly for 1 mo. If you lose you leave for 6 mo.

      HA! Not a chance. The best you'll get is 2:1 odds and that is being generous. Also a land slide must be at least 65/35. I've already been generous and you were loud mouthed enough about a landslide being inevitable. Don't tell me you were just mouthing off again and can't back up your big mouth.

        Per usual, the only one mouthing off here is you. I look forward to meeting you some day. I'll wait for comments from others as to the fairness of my bet before negotiating further.

          Perhaps we should look to a fair arbiter of what a landslide means? I feel confident that they will agree it means more then just ten percent.

          Of course if you wish to act true to form and cowardly withdraw I will understand though I will still make fun of you for it.

            I think to determine a proper landslide, one must look at what have been considered "landslides" in the past.

            I think everyone agrees that 1996, 1988, 1984, 1980 were all landslides. Of course in 1980 and 1984 they were MASSIVE landslides, but lets look at the numbers.

            1996
            Clinton: 379
            Dole: 159

            1988
            Bush: 426
            Dukakis: 111

            1984
            Reagan: 525
            Mondale: 13

            1980
            Reagan: 489
            Carter: 49


            1996 is the best election to look at. It appears to me that unless one candidate gets 350 EVs, it isn't deemed a landslide by the media.

              Are you both picking McCain, or Obama?
              If you're picking differently, what does it matter?

                While it is certainly within the realm of possibility, if I were a Democrat I wouldn't be hanging my hat on NC or VA. The chances of them going Blue are simply overhyped.

                The reason being veterans/active military.

                  Going blue, I think you mean.

                  Anyway, predicting the outcome of an election that is 5 months away is futile, IMO. I think Obama *should* win, but I've yet to vote for the winner of a Presidential election, so I'm certainly not going to pretend I have my finger on the political pulse of America...

                    Judging by the 1996 election we can safely say a 34-66 split can be called an land slide.

                        You know, many people have accused me of going off topic, and here we have gone from McCain's disability rating to who wins the elction in a landslide.

                        Just sharing, we have rules and funny how some get to be acceptable and some get the wrath of those in charge.

                        Oh and "piece".."have a nice day" and the assorted taglines the great poly posters use

                              You're interpreting that incorrectly.
