SouthAmerica: We did not have the big hurricanes in 2006 in the United States, but that was a fluke season, and it is not what will happen in 2007
The Financial Times had an article last week that mentioned the reason why the United States did not have a bad hurricane season in 2006 as the US had in 2005 â it had something to do with some unusual type of weather from Africa that had an impact in the hurricane season on this side of the Atlantic.
But during the year 2007 the hurricane season in the USA should go back to a season similar to the one the USA had in 2005.

Quote from CaptainObvious:
. The battle will be between Hillary and Edwards. The powers that be will try to get Hillary to fall on her sword for the good of the party. If she does, Edwards wins the election. If not, the Republicans win with McCain.
Completely agree with this one. Hillary has the bucks and support within her party, but is absolutely despised outside of her party. People either love her or hate her, no in between. Problem is, too many people hate her. A recent poll had only 3% of the population with a neutral view of Hill. The love/hate were about split on the remaining 97%.
The Dem party has already bribed her with the Senate leadership if she doesn't run. They know she can win the nomination, but doubt she can win the election. I agree. She may run anyway though. The right will rip her to shreds on the national stage if she does.
Edwards has just about everything going for him. I see him winning the whole thing IF he wins the Dem nomination. I believe he will be running vs Romney as the religious right won't allow McCain in.

Regardless of what the FT says, NO ONE KNOWS, and that is a fact. It is a very inexact science. And BTW, most scientists blame El Nino for the off year. Besides, how the hell will hurricanes get Gore elected? Global warming is WAY down the list of what is important to Americans now. Al Gore cannot stop warming by himself anyway.

Rearden Metal: radesports is giving 12.6 to 1 odds on that proposition. ( $1 bet wins you $12.60 if Al Gore wins the Dem nomination.
Did you back up your assertion with cash?

SouthAmerica: By the âsummer and fall of 2007â - after the United States goes through another 2 or 3 huge hurricanes such as Katrina â you will see that Al Goreâs odds will be much lower and he will be away ahead of the pack of democratic presidential candidates for 2008.
We did not have the big hurricanes in 2006 in the United States, but that was a fluke season, and it is not what will happen in 2007.
In 2007 the huge hurricanes like Katrina - they are coming back to the US shores.
You can bet on that â if Al Gore becomes a presidential candidate for 2008 â slowly it will sink in and American voters will recognize that he is the best democratic candidate, and he will become the front runner and the candidate to beat in November of 2008.

Great! So how much of your money have you wagered?

SouthAmerica: I know most Americans donât give a shit about what kind of country we leave behind to future generations â If Americans did care about the future of their kids, and grandchildren then they would demand that the United States government stop this massive deficit spending that has been going on for a long time.
If Americans donât give a shit regarding leaving behind to future generations a bankrupted country â I understand that global warming would be even further away from their priorities regarding what kind of planet they leave behind to future generations.
At least many Americans consider themselves wealth and they know that they will be able to move on to another place â When you have money, you just move on to a better place and problem solved.
Here are the choices for future American generations:
1) Mercury it is a little hot because of global warming â unless Americans take their air conditioned with them to Mercury otherwise they will not be able to survive â and the temperature in Mercury ranges from 90 K to 700 K.
2) Venus is another planet that Americans will need a very good air conditioning system to be able to survive when they have to relocate to another planet - The dense atmosphere produces a run-away greenhouse effect that raises Venus' surface temperature by about 400 degrees to over 740 K (hot enough to melt lead). Venus' surface is actually hotter than Mercury's despite being nearly twice as far from the Sun.
3) Then there are the jovian or gas planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune:
The gas planets are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium and generally have low densities, rapid rotation, deep atmospheres, rings and lots of satellites.
If Americans move to one of these planets they will need to adapt to a completely new environment.
4) If Americans donât like any of the above choices that are currently available on our planetary system then they can always take the Shuttle and they can try to find a new place to live in some other galaxy.
IT IS NO BIG DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SouthAmerica: You talk about betting on elections like people bet on horse racing.
I donât know anybody who bet money on the result of elections. If you are such an addicted gambler that you have to bet on election results I would suggest that you just go to your local horse racetrack and in 2 minutes you know the result regarding your bet â and you donât need to wait 2 years to find the result of your bet.

This statement supports my position:
how will hurricanes get Gore elected?
That is just downright silly. Most Yanks actually think Gore is out in left field. He did some weird shit after "losing" to Bush.
He won't be able to raise the funds needed either. The funds will be flowing to Hill/Barak/Edwards. Mainstream thinking is that Gore is done, as is Kerry.
Gore can use his own funds however. He is VERY wealthy from Google stock.
No Al Gore in U.S Presidential race
Rough Cut

Jan. 15 -Al Gore says that he will not run in the 2008 election, saying he was involved in "a different kind of campaign."
Al Gore, who is currently in Japan promoting his award-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth", spoke with journalists in Tokyo, saying, "The U.S. should be leading the world toward a solution for this climate crisis instead of leading in the other direction."
The United States withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol, which mandates cuts in greenhouse gas emissions in the 2008-2012 period, saying the agreement would be harmful to the U.S. economy.
As host of the 1997 talks that forged the protocol, the Japanese government has urged major polluters, including the United States, China and India, to work harder to combat climate change, most recently during a visit by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to Europe last week.
The documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" was inspired by a series of multi-media presentations about climate change that Mr. Gore regularly delivers to audiences around the world.

In other words, you're just making wild guesses. You have zero confidence in the accuracy of your own predictions, as evidenced by your unwillingness to put your money where your mouth is. I've seen enough here.
Anything and everything we believe in or predict we should bet our money on?
Sounds like a GA candidate...
