The US elections in November, 2010.

Coito - You PM'd me, but your PMs are off so I couldn't email you back. Here's what the email would've said:

What were the stakes again?

Ah yes, the bet. Kindly change your signature to "Ian understands politics better than I do.". It's supposed to stay there for a month, but I'll be a magnanimous victor and cut that to two weeks.

Like you said, the GOP taking the Senate was kind of a longshot for you. Next time we'll come up with something with odds closer to 50-50.

Well, certainly - I think the fact that I emailed you about it (unprompted) should say something about my good faith. A bet is a bet.

It should be in the sig line, now.

And, mai - I was avoiding nothing. I don't know why my PM thing is down, and I just saw this. Changed the sig immediately.
