Don Gwinn Posted February 1, 2010 at 09:12 PM Posted February 1, 2010 at 09:12 PM The primary is almost here, and it's almost time for us to stop bickering about which of "our" candidates is "our" candidates. That means, in my mind, it's time to let people make a few bets. I'll tell you right now I'm not betting more than buying someone a drink, changing a silly avatar, or the like. I might bet a box of ammunition if you make it worth my while, but that's about it. I also suggest that IGOLD would be the perfect time for some of us to settle up with people who live far away. So, you wanna bet?

GarandFan Posted February 1, 2010 at 09:44 PM Posted February 1, 2010 at 09:44 PM Don I bet you an AR15 rifle, 50 Pmags, and 2000 rounds of Lake City that Andrzejewski does not win the primary. You willing to shake on that one?

You willing to shake on that one? GF, I'll bet you get that bet covered at reduced stakes before the day's over. Some pretty dedicated Adam folks here.
Drylok Posted February 1, 2010 at 10:17 PM Posted February 1, 2010 at 10:17 PM when were the last (valid) polls out anyway?
Lou Posted February 1, 2010 at 10:29 PM Posted February 1, 2010 at 10:29 PM My guess is Quinn on the Democrat side and Dillard on the Republican side of the ballot. GF, I don't think anyone is going to take you up on that bet.

Federal Farmer Posted February 1, 2010 at 11:32 PM Posted February 1, 2010 at 11:32 PM Sadly, it will be McKenna v. Hynes in November and given that, I'm voting Hynes.

Kenny Posted February 1, 2010 at 11:59 PM Posted February 1, 2010 at 11:59 PM Don I bet you an AR15 rifle, 50 Pmags, and 2000 rounds of Lake City that Andrzejewski does not win the primary. You willing to shake on that one? You willing to give any odds or a slightly lopsided bet? I have an EAA .380 I would put up to wager!! I think he has a darn great chance. I will take the AR-15 rifle if I win & you get the .380 if you win. You can keep the P-mags & ammo. Deal? If you are sooooo sure of it that is a great deal for you!!

I hope I have a new AR Wed and not because I need a new AR if you know what I mean!!!
GarandFan Posted February 2, 2010 at 01:56 AM Posted February 2, 2010 at 01:56 AM You're right, SirFly, and I should not have made that post either.

Ya know what nevermind when I win it I am going to donate it to Adam's campaign to raffle off!!! That is a great idea!!!! Who wants to buy raffle tickets!!!
pyre400 Posted February 2, 2010 at 02:20 AM Posted February 2, 2010 at 02:20 AM As I told John, I'm happy to purchase a few drinks in March... It will not be because of a win or loss though. I'm pretty serious about Adam winning, but its not so that I can say "I told you so".
templar223 Posted February 2, 2010 at 02:21 AM Posted February 2, 2010 at 02:21 AM So long as Ryan or McKenna don't win tomorrow, I'll drink with a smile on my face at IGOLD. Win OR lose. John

Don Gwinn Posted February 2, 2010 at 04:06 PM Author Posted February 2, 2010 at 04:06 PM I was actually talking about real bets . . . which for me means I'll bet you a cold beer . . . maybe. Sorry, but I'm not covering any bets on Andrzejewski. I'll do this, though: if he wins, I'll volunteer for him. Guess nobody wants to bet against Dillard, huh?
SirMatthew Posted February 2, 2010 at 07:55 PM Posted February 2, 2010 at 07:55 PM I'm not taking bets on this one, but I'm just really surprised more people aren't voting given the condition of our state at the moment. Yes, it's only a primary, but you'd think we'd care more about our election process now more than ever. The numbers will be interesting as Chicago people are staying in to avoid the snow while downstate people don't yet have snow to impede them. Should be interesting numbers no matter what happens. (By comparison, I was voter #23 at 8am in my polling place) http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/02/primary-concern-how-many-voters-will-see-their-shadows.html So far, a collective yawn in primary voting Excerpt: National political pundits have been busy trying to divine broad meaning from Illinois' Groundhog Day primary, but that noisy class of professional crystal ball gazers could be in for a challenge if an early collective yawn from voters continues through the day. City election officials said turnout for the first hour of voting was extremely low. Jim Allen, communications director for the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners, said there were precincts all over the city that experienced as few as two voters coming through their doors. "That's bad," he said. "There are very few voters coming out to cast a ballot. This could mean six more weeks of campaigning if the voters just see their shadows." Cook County Clerk David Orr, who oversees election machinery in the suburbs, said morning turnout appeared "relatively slow," though it was too early to make any broad projections about how things might end up by the time the polls close at 7 p.m. "A lot of people vote late and whether or not this snowy weather will have an effect, who knows," said Orr as he visited a precinct at the Dorchester Senior Center in Dolton. By 8:30 a.m., Orr said, 19 residents had cast ballots. While he said that's a typical pace for that retirement village, its residents don't have to venture outdoors to cast a ballot.
GarandFan Posted February 2, 2010 at 09:08 PM Posted February 2, 2010 at 09:08 PM Well, let's home the machine dems are the ones sleeping, and the "new wind" conservatives are out and about at the polling places.
