| Was This The Biggest Upset Since Buster Douglas Beat Mike Tyson? |
|
Douglas was a 42-1 underdog before they took the fight off the charts...Hillary was a 50-1 underdog at intrade...

| 6. in the days leading up to it....Hillary had him. you're wrong. |
|
maybe the day of polls said something different...but the point is no one gave Obama a REAL chance til the votes poured in.
Now if either one wins more states, the surprise effect is gone. NEITHER is the front runner. It is a horse race. Just like the corporate MSM loves it.

He's still alive...

nobody ever EVER thought Tyson would lose to Douglas.
The polls had Hillary ahead six days ago.

I beat Will Pitt in a farting contest. I'm telling you, nobody saw that one coming!
