I changed my mind. So, I have one bet with you and one with sean on the primary. And the same bet with you both on the general.

Wait, you bet both ways? So either way you break even? Where’s the balls in that?

Although, I suppose it could just be a clever ploy to have an excuse to go out drinking beer with fellow bloggers…

Yeah. but i also bet the other way once. And I couldn’t remember who took me up on it (you or sean – I think it’s sean, now).

Wait, I thought you bet that he WOULD win the nomination, and I bet that he would not. That means I'm the one betting against the odds, and that you'd be laying six beers to my one beer. *Quick Google* Ayup, I've bet against the odds, so I'm the one who should benefit from a 6-to-1 payout if I win (which I hope not to). By the way, can we stop calling it a Google and just call a "quick search to find some trivial piece of information concerning an unimportant-in-the-grand-scheme-of-things argument" by the name "to tgirsch?" I'm normally not that megalomaniacal, but you seem to have taken to attributing that behavior disproportionately to me...
