PJM Political Poker: Place Your Bets on Indy and NC [video]

Tired of treating the endless political season seriously? We are. So time to bet. Sorry, this is a beta [And how!-ed], so it’s not fully interactive yet. But just put your predictions for Indiana and North Carolina in the comments and, if you hit the spread on the nose, we’ll send you a t-shirt with the cool United Pajamas of America logo by Oleg Atabashian. Life is short. Have fun!

(Next time around… maybe we’ll have green screen and be live… sort of… from Caesar’s Palace)

Everybody is so gung-ho for HRC. Deluded I call ya.
IN: HRC by 3
NC: BHO by 11
Also: the delegate math becomes so obvious that by midnight Central, even WJC and HRC are able to figure it out, so they retire for a nite of great sex (that’s WJC) and a good book (that’s HRC).
This was the foreign oracle chiming in from Toronto, Ontario. Best city in the Solar System (save for Boston, Barcelona, Brussels, …)

Indiana Hill, by 9
North C. O’B, by 3

The fallout is going to be u.g.l.y.

The Dems are coming to the realization that ceding so much control over the political debate to the press, early on, and centrally direct the primary “process” has led the party to obvious and serious challenges.

In a year where my 3 year old should be able to win as a Dem, which she will never actually be if she has any sense, but you get the point, the party will have managed to mangle the process so badly that it’s hard to see their candidate winning, whomever gets nominated!
