All we can do is hope for Romney to win and to gain the Senate and also hope Romney appoints conservatives which he will surely get the chance to do in the next 8 years.

I got married here in Vegas in 1985 (long before I came to live here)

We flew up from So Cal to do it. Playing craps and losing big, on a spastic hunch I threw $50.00 on the hard twelve.

SOB if it didn't hit, paid 32 to 1

Point is, it was a sucker bet.

Fact is, I won...but anyone who gambles on the dice table will tell you it is a foolish bet.

OTOH, if I didn't bet, I never would have won.

Tough choice this time around for sure.

BTW, that is a true story....and don't ask how the marriage turned out!

On a similar gambling note, and I hope she is still a FReeper and reads this, when I was in DC for 9/12 I met a young woman at the hotel where Free Republic had booked a block of rooms.

She bought me and a couple of other FReepers a drink. Anyway, she told us how she was in the hole for some debts, but she wanted to come to 9/12. She took a small amount of money to a casino (I think she lived in Nevada) and told herself that she would gamble that money and if it was fated she would win enough to pay the debt and get a last minute ticket to DC and 9/11. Well, she won $5K, paid the debt and hopped on a jet for DC. It was a pleasure to meet another patriot and hear her story.

So, I guess lady luck does intervene for a reason now and then. I wish I could remember the other FReepers I met there. I did meet Jim Robinson, a true patriot.
