I bet my Republican friend lunch....

That the dems would retain majority in the house.

He asked why and I said i think the polls are not very accurate now because they call people who have land lines and few of the younger folks have them.

So anybody have thoughts on this?

You're going to to be paying!

If you do a little research the phone line vs. cell phone thing is a myth. Pollsters have been calling cell phones for years now. If that myth where true and had any effect how do you explain how close to the actual results some pollsters where in the last election cycle. The best where no more than a couple points off the actual result? Do you think people would be paying millions of dollars to get polling results that where not accurate and useful?

Yeah but younger folks don't vote. Let them have the House and Senate so we can see if they can fix in two years that they trashed in eight.

I originally suggested a quarter, my normal bet with friends, but he suggested lunch. I guess he thinks he as a sure bet.

We'll see.

I'm getting nervous since CLK man says i have it wrapped up!

When it comes to politics, I'm always right.

You think the Obama administration is behind it? The majority of Americans trust the Obama administration when it comes to protecting the homeland? You’re joking right?

Or it's secret Republicans somewhere in the bureaucracy that are orchestrating this to look like Islamo-facist Jihadi intentions?

I voted early, so just wake me when it's over.

D's had control of Congress for 40 years before they pissed off enough people to lose it. Then it took the R's 10 years to do the same. Now the D's look ready to lose it again after only 4 years. Keeps going like this, we'll end up like pre-war France or post-war Italy with the "government of the month" club.

I am not blaming anyone. I just think the timing is awful convenient

The only people I fully trust I know personally.

Isn't this nonsense over yet? It makes absolutely no difference who wins, I'm just tired of hearing about it.

It's probably just some incompetent intelligence officer's report on an effort by some half-ass incompetent "terrorist" who was allowed access to an aircraft by some incompetent airport security force someplace.

In other words, business as usual. As usual, there are more idiots trying to protect stuff than idiots trying to blow stuff up, so nothing when boom.
