You don't half stretch things Carolly, I don't even own a television. There's a UK X-factor? Seriously? Is it a singing, dancing or Andrew Lloyd Webber New Opera one? I'm just going to have to go and look.
The US presidential election perms change once every four years, you know.
I'll look!

I'll look!Appreciate it Spot. Some very good Singers are in the finals and although Ive had a bet as I said....I believe its going to be a very tight finish. They will be singing for a few more weeks yet and every week one goes.We have lost 3 acts so far and are down to 9.

Put me down for $100 Spot. You are making it tough with your listed states and the only chance that I feel I have is VIRGINIA.

That's an interesting call. What I'm going to do the day before the votes are counted is analyse all the bets and come up with a Forumgarden prediction based on how many thought each state might wobble. There's scientific, eh?
Are you going for Virginia more on the basis of right-wing conservatism or historical difficulties, out of interest?

Virginia only because it's gone Repub in the past and seems to be at least marginal in this campaign, so far.
