Well, at pinnaclesports, an offshore bookie joint, Obama reamains a 7-2 favorite to win 4 more years. They don't accept bets from America anymore, but I would've bet the underdog paying 3 to 1.

But then again, I'm wearing a shirt with a shade of light blue in it. Blue starts with B. Just like Barack.

It's a deadlock again.

Tonight I am playing a drinking game with 100 proof Old Grand Dad starting at 7 pm.

Every time I hear Ohio, I am going to do a shot.

For me, the election will be over by 7:34 :laugh:

I'm amazed that there aren't ways to see votes as soon as they come in. Like a running tally. There's not that right? Lol.

The guessing game is just that, a guess. Though they usually are really close. But I just can't believe that we don't have live stats I guess.

I haven't voted in a poll station the past 3 elections(absontee). So I don't even know what they look like anymore. But it's all electronic right?

I had a couple of friends that are professional traders get soaked on PA in 2004. I think they were trading the spread and following the exit polls.

Just something to keep in mind with those sites. What was it - tradesports.com? - in the US was dominated by pro traders playing around for shits and giggles. Those guys usually don't care or bet an outcome but trying to profit on swings/movement. My friend used to watch games live, and after a big play try to pick-off offers that didn't adjust the ask quick enough.

I filled out a paper ballot that was then scanned into a machine that likely changed my vote without my knowledge.

I was asking a question....why on earth would you not write both speeches??

I would be willing to bet Obama wrote both in '08
