Axelrod/Scarborough mustache bet:

With a victory in Florida imminent, Axelrod has let Joe Scar off the hook.

"...But on Thursday, the two men agreed to a compromise. Scarborough will not only donate $10,000 to epilepsy research, but will also host a fundraiser to raise $1 million for the cause and, for kicks, wear a fake mustache during the event." http://www.nationaljournal.com/2012-presidential-campaign/axelrod-scarborough-compromise-on-mustache-bet-20121108

Damn, I would have enjoyed Joe's humiliation, but this is an excellent compromise.

They were getting weird on that segment. Axe told them they were, so they toned it down. Heileman wanted to know if he could get to do the shaving himself. They were acting like kids on a playground. Axe stopped it.

I bet Halperin will be pissed that Heileman "volunteered" his donation of $5 grand w/o him even knowing about it, altho he certainly can afford it with all his money from the movie/book rights he and Heileman made off of "Game Change."
