McCain is considered 100% disabled by the VA

[Patroklos]

I would appreciate it if you would

a.) stop lieing.

b.) stop using personal insults.

c.) stand up for what you say instead of quibling.

Conversely no candidate has ever given a **** what you think of their VP choice.

Anyone here wish to defend Oerdin's accusation here?

[Dinner]

Truth hurts, eh?

[Patroklos]

Anyone?

...

No?

You will have your opportunity for failure this time, youngling...

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.

Given that the last two elections were decided by a very small margin my definition of landslide was not the same as wiki's.

However, I'll accept 380 EV as the target. I'll either accept 12:1 odds or the median of a reasonably couched OT poll as to what the odds of that happening are. Make your choice.

As for your continued insults and threats, your puerile rantings are of no importance to me except as a source of "site noise" that I wish to eliminate for a while.

If voter's don't take this year's VP nominee seriously, they're making a mistake.

Popular local characters with political machines, i.e. Governors, sometimes deliver states. Which is why i.e. Rendell and Nutter were more important for Clinton in PA than Casey was for Obama. Senators like Bayh have a more limited effect.

You underestimate the influence of Indiana's Senators

[Ramo]

Bayh was a big time Clintonista, and she ended up with only a marginal victory (despite the state being demographically favorable to her).

OK, so you admit you are full of crap and were talking out of your ass. It's a shame you had to copout like this. I was looking forward to pwning the hell out of you.

The definition of the term you used is well known and well shown by the wiki article Imran linked. If you don't understand the definition of a term then you really shouldn't be using it.

I don't know. I think 380 is a more than reasonable threshold as a landslide for this election.

[Dinner]

You need 270 to win so 380 seems fair for a "landslide".

I will offer the following terms avatar bet with a Spencer win counting as McCain winning by 380 electoral votes or more with myself losing control of my avatar for two months and Spencer only losing control of his avatar for one month. Seems like a fair definition and fair terms. If McCain doesn't win by at least 380 then Spencer loses the bet.

[DinoDoc]

Well you do seem to have good luck with these bets, Oerdin. Dan forgot to collect on the last one you lost.

[Dinner]

I asked him over and over and over again for three months to provide me with his choice of avatars though he said he always said he was to busy.

I should have made a bet with Oerdin in 2006 about how many Senate seats were up for election. How many was it, Oerdin, 33? 100?



Most unknowledgeable political debater - with an attitude.

1/3 every two years with one year every six having 34 seats up for election. I'd have to look it up to see if 2006 was a 33 or 34 year.
