Watched a guy call the bluff of a room full of Romney supporters yesterday [View all]

There is a quiet fellow who usually just eats his lunch in the local restaurant. He usually never says anything to anybody. Just eats and leaves. I don't even know his politics.

About a dozen Romney supporters were in there yucking it up about how Romney was going to win big.

This guy calmly pulled out his wallet and counted out 10 one hundred dollar bills and laid them on the counter in front of him.

Then he asked the group of Obama haters if any one of them wanted to bet a thousand dollars that President Obama would not win this election he would cover the bet. Said if someone wanted to take the bet he would let the restaurant owner hold the cash until after the election.

There wasn't one taker.

It was a marvelous thing to witness.
