    Want a absolute +130 lock Presidental wager?
    Mike Bloomberg

    Bet On: If Mike Bloomberg runs for President in 2008 what percentage of the popular vote will he garner? If Bloomberg doesn't run for President all wagers will be no action. Max. $50.
    Over 18.8% of the vote
    +130
    Bodog

    If he does not run it will be "no action".

    With his billions and the weakest field since 1784 he is a lock to get over 20% if he runs. IMO of course

    JJGold can run for president (Dems.) and get 20% of the votes.. The average person is not happy with the Republican party right now... REPUBLICANS THEMSELVES are not happy with the party right now... So yes basically I agree it's a lock...

          Nice to see ya' again C_P... Do you hear from your son much and how is he..?

          I wish JJ was running too... He would do a better job explaining things then my boy G.W. I am going to miss him though and I almost hope for Martial Law so the elections would get suspended but that won't happen... Although he did say..."there's nothing wrong with a dictatorship...as long as I'm the dictator..." That was hilarious...

          Despite what my dad and all the other older generation of Arabs think... It really doesn't matter that he is Jewish although I can understand why you would say that... I heard the reasoning for 30+ years..

                Guess that all depends on who "we" are. Not real sure who we are backing, but know I won't be pulling the lever for Slick Willie's wife.

                  I kind of like Hillary too. She is kind of an evil back stabber that would make a good president imo. And like ole slick willy, she is more conservative than she pretends to be. In fact I think she will be a lot like willy and just lounge around and not do anything. But dont think she can beat Rudy. He was just too good in that Notre Dame movie.

                      Shamswoof, thanks for asking, my son is doing as fine as one can do in 120 degree days. He actually says its not as dangerous as it was last time he was in Iraq. Not sure who he is refering to as not as dangerous though. He also says it doesnt seem as hot the 2nd time around either, LOL.

                        Holy crap, we as me, aint backing Hillary! IMO, if she gets elected its just a matter of time before the newly established(if she is elected) Federal Storm Troopers are knocking at our doors to collect all our guns.

                          Glad to hear your son is doing ok and also glad to hear the violence has died down... I love the heat but I bet it is a b*tch when you have to put all that sh*t on...

                          How are the waves out there..? I never did surf but I bet it is cool...

                          As far as this quote above... IMO Federal Storm Troopers are going to try and do that regardless as I think Iraq is the training ground for this and it will be them (trained to do so) who comes to collect the guns... I can't imagine the American people giving up their guns though... If any administration even tried it would start an insurgency here and they are trained to handle them as well... Maybe the Bush Administration knows this and are planning for it in advance... We'll see though...

                          Sh*t if I was Bush you would give up those guns damnit!! If I had to orchestrate a V. Tech. incident once a month to scare the sh*t out of you and use the media to add to the fact that you have to give up your guns for this not to happen anymore I would do just that.. This administration is too soft...

                          P.S. Boy I'll tell ya' what... I may not get along with Point After Touchdown but my spelling sure has gotten better... Before I would have to make a few corrections when using spell check and lately it's been error free...

                                he's considering running as an independent -- and he certainly has the cash to do it

                                  Hmmm now that might make a big difference... It won't be a lock if he runs as an independent...

                                    Bad bet.

                                    No way the Repub Party will nominate a liberal NYC Jew as their candidate. IE, he will never win a primary outside of the Northeast.

                                    He could run as an independent, but the process of getting on the ballot in all but a few states is daunting. Impossible, actually, in the few months he has. But a real possibility for 2012, with that big timeframe to either snag a ballot spot or use his billions to challenge the anti-3rd party state laws.

                                    I'd support him. But I'd support any viable 3rd party candidate. Right now we have a dictature of the Repubocrat Party. Has to be broken.

                                      I'm sure some will hate because of his tout status, but Wayne Allyn Root is running for President, and his blog is awesome, IMO.

                                          If he does not run, it is "No Action". Thats the nice part about this bet. If he does run he will surely get better than 19%. He can out spend both parties combined out of his loose change.

                                            How does heroine help the economy..?

                                            We are not leaving Iraq ...that is for certain... They are building "PERMINENT" bases there for a reason... We will pull some out to expand the war into Iran or bring some back for a Martial Law situation but no way we are leaving completely for at least 20 years if in our lifetimes...

                                            Finally if he runs independent that bet may very well be a loser... I noticed something during the last election... A. it's fixed and B. the public jocks the two major parties hard... Most are either one or the other... I can't tell you how many times during 04' I heard people say "Kerry is the lesser of the two evils".. or "I would vote for someone else but they really don't have a chance to win and I want my vote to count"... I'm sure everyone can imagine how I went off on people that year... WTF.? The lesser of the two evils..? There are plenty of names on the ballot other then those two and voting for someone else makes your vote count MORE not LESS... They want to vote for someone "WHO HAS A CHANCE TO WIN...?" This is not a football team we are talking about you f*ckin' tulups ...crist!!!... My family even says stupid sh*t like that..

                                            If "GOD" ran as an independent then maaaaaaybe he might get 20% of the votes...

                                              Ross Perot received 18.9% of the popular vote in the '92 election.

                                                    Yep. Just 1.1% short.

                                                      That was then... Let's talk recently... 04' election..if you believe it was fair then these people NOT ONLY put Bush back in office BUT DID IT BY A LANDSLIDE!!! This is possibly the worst president in US history mind you... Where the hell was the third party votes then...? Now the Democrats are pissin' all over them pointing fingers and have leverage to claim they will change it because it was fine when Clinton was in and then Bush took over... They are still holding Clinton over the Republicans head...

                                                        Ross did it by spending $100 million. Bloomer could put 5x that in if he ran. He might even beat Hillary and Rudy.

                                                          Oh lord, I sure hope nobody holds Hillary Clinton in a dress above my head. Would hate to look up and see whatever the hell she's got underneath that skirt. I'm dry-heaving just thinking about it.

                                                          You and I also disagree on what a landslide is, Shams. A landslide to me is what Reagan did in 1988. Granted, considering he received fewer popular votes that Gore in 2000 and did outpoll Kerry in 2004, I guess that could be considered a landslide for some. Just not me.
