Because I'm engaged in our country's political scene and love to make stupid bets, I just made the following wager with bottom-feeder The American Mastodon:
If a ticket consisting of John McCain and Rudy Giuliani win the 2008 election, I win $100. If the Republican party splinters and a third party, consisting of neo-conservative evangelicals, puts a ticket topped with someone like Pat Buchanan on the ballot and gets at least 5% of the popular vote in 2008, he wins $100.
I'm not saying I'm going to win, but I know I'm not going to lose.
