I don't know who will win the election, but would gladly bet thousands that Obama will not win Miss, Alabama or any other southern state.

Sounds good to me. Let's identify the states and the stakes ahead of time and place a bet.

The first qualifier is that Obama wins the nod; if he doesn't, bet is off.
Obama must win one or more of the following: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia.

I'd put up 100 bucks on that.

Fair?

Definitely a given...I wasn't including Virginia, but that is a traditional south state so that's fair.

Sorry - primaries don't elect people to office.

The idea is that Republicans won't have so many easy wins because there are more Democrats and Independents voting now than in previous elections.
