101 Republican Party -147
102 Democratic Party +137

What factor does Jeb Bush play in this wager?

Thanks

Sure would not lay that price.

This thread is headed for the Politcal Forum sooner than later I predict.

I went ahead and brought it over fish. The gang here is better versed for this type of wagering

I bet 3 contests a year for 10K each. NCAACF Championship, had LSU +, the Super Bowl, had Carolina +, and the NCAACB Championship game, had UCONN -. I am technically due for a loss but I wouldn't hedge my bet on Junior.

Well, the state is 44% Democrat, 39% Republican and 17% Independent.

Everyone that voted for Gore in 2000 is likely to vote Kerry.

Some that voted Bush in 2000 will recognize how he's lied and misled over 600 Americans to their death along with tens of thousands of Iraqi and Afghani civilians and will change their vote.

Those that voted Nader in 2000 will likely vote Kerry.

The over 10,000 who were turned away in 2000 based on being part of the Katherine Harris 'felons list' even though they were not in fact felons, will likely be less interested in voting Republican.

The thousands of residents who live in predominantly African American areas who were obstructed from getting to polls on time by various state trooper roadblocks etc seem likely to be very focused on getting thru this time and their 90%+ Democrat voting rate will this time be added to the tally.

I think "DEMOCRATS" in Florida is a Live Dog.....

I don't get the Republican side being favored. The math is favorable to the Dems and it consistently grows favorable. The only thing they have to do is get the people out to vote. Don't forget Bush made some gains last time because of the Elian story with local girl Janet Reno ordering in the marshalls, images that were still on the tops of a lot of people's minds back then.

Maybe if the polling points to a bad result Cheney and Wolfowitz will start suggesting to Bush that they take returning troops coming back from Iraq and make them put in a couple more weeks to stopover to invade Cuba. That ought to lock up the state for him...

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>My money is on Republican, especially for the state of Florida. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Last night after watching how agitated and nervous President Bush seemed to reporters followed by some horrific responces on his behalf. I now believe that he will truly lose this Presidential election. In fact, I will have to call in and place another bet for Kerry at +137 so that I can recuperate the money that I wagered on Bush at -147.
