    It is delicious schadenfreude, you must savour it.

    Can I just say that these people in no way qualify as my friends?

    I'll get the contract drawn up, and you sign 'em in blood where indicated (initial each page). Then we wait three years and see what happens.

    The first time you're in Wellington or the first time I'm in Auckland after the GOP nominee is announced. Winner of the bet to choose the restaurant, out of towner accepts suggestions (I'd be taking you to Maria Pia's if it's still operating by then - that's one of my bet winnings from this election).

    That's all the contract we need.

    Have you any reason to believe that their predictions are anything other than based on evidence in the same way as all the other networks?

    Now would Giovanni like to put some hard money on his belief there isn't a hiope in hell of Palin winning the nomination in '12? It is a bet I really really want to lose.

    I never bet money, but a lunch at a very proper restaurant? sure.

    Alright, I would like to ask everyone: can we bury the whole jinx thing now, or is it still nailbiting territory?

    I took my hand away from my... some time ago. Words per minute have increased accordingly.
