Bush or Kerry?

Hey, what happened to the bet thread?
I put my money on Kerry. Bush might pull it out as he has a bigger financial warchest.

Indeed....

If nobody's gonna put their money where their mouth is, there's no point.

Unless that betting thread sees life, it's dead afaic.

I'm only asking for a little bragging rights in this thread. Will you deny us that?

If ya vote for Kerry while knowing and stating that Bush will win you can at least sit around here looking resigned and wise. ;) (Yes, I am assuming that Bush will win)

Not only that but But recounts showed.including one headed by Jessie Jackson that Bush won Fla

I think that both these guys are a terrible choice.... but... who do I THINK is gonna win....?

I'll say Kerry based off of the short term history against Bush.

1. His Dad won the first Iraq war and still lost the election.
2. The only time Bush's approval rating was good was during the call to arms after 9/11 and the call to arms to invade Iraq.  Americans have had a habit of doing this.  Remember before 9/11, Bush was struggling and now after we took Iraq he is struggling.
3. My original thought was that Bush would win, and I'm always wrong.  :)


How's THAT for a logical and rational thought process?  :D

I was sure that GHWB would beat Clinton. Still puzzled over that one.

Heck, I bailed out of a good career in the AF because I figured Carter was going to beat Reagan. Just couldn't face four more years with him as CIC.

Missed that one by a mile.

Thank Mr. Ross Perot for that one.  Alot of people who would have voted for Bush voted for him instead.
