Thanks for posting, TC. I promise to participate.
I'm not sure about the Fox News crowd, but I guarantee at least one of the MSNBC starting lineup will cry on-air if Romney happens to win. (they may cry either way). Oddly enough, I think my money might be on Larry O'Donnell. Mika would definitely cry, but I don't think they'd let her on the air Election Night if it's not Obama's night.
We can discuss terms of wager later. Any others welcome to participate in a wager, or on a "just for spite and malice and maybe some fun by accident" basis.

John Boehner might cry, well, just to cry . . .

Romney wins. Riots follow.
Does anyone believe the inverse would occur?

Romney wins. Riots follow. Does anyone believe the inverse would occur? Oh please - because Romney supporters are so civilized and would never do anything irrational in the face of an Obama victory. Prediction: Obama wins. Gun sales skyrocket in the aftermath and evangelical churches openly speak of the apocalypse occurring in the next 4 years. See? Two can play this game. |

It is the left posting rants about rioting if Romney wins. Naturally, I assume you disavow such idiocy.

My post was responding to Boz's humorous prediction about MSNBC pundits crying, which I found funny. My post was in jest based upon Speaker Boehner's propensity to cry at the drop of a hat. Unlike Elvado's post, I did not imply any violent action on behalf of Republicans or Romney supporters if Obama wins re-election. I think everyone should lighten up a bit, for goodness sake.

You guys spend entirely too much time inciting each other. Get a new weekend hobby or a dog or both.
