I’m serious.
Not a whole bunch of money mind you, my idea of high stakes is nickel bet poker, but money nonetheless.
Here is my prediction:
If Dan McCready wins tomorrow, we will see numerous pundits saying something to the effect of, “He won despite the efforts of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party,” or, “He won because he ignored the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.”
If Dan McCready loses tomorrow, we will see numerous pundits saying something to the effect of, “He lost because the progressive wing of the Democratic Party poisoned the well,” or He lost because he paid too much attention to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
I have a shiny quarter against your shiny nickel that this is true. (Offer limited to the first 20 applicants)
Even better, if I win, I will donate the proceeds to the Violence Policy Center, which campaigns for common sense gun regulations.
