Someone's going to get fired. Is a publicity stunt like this really worth it? Can they get that money back when Romney wins?

“Romney gave it a good shot and is doing well in the popular vote, but we suspect he’s had his moment in the sun and is likely to be remembered more for his legendary gaffes than Presidential potential,” a Paddy Power spokesperson said in a statement.”

What are some of Mr. Romneys legendary gaffes anyone know?

In 2009 Tiger Wood’s failure to win a PGA Championship left the bookmaker about $2 million out of pocket.

Ha ha!

Paying out before the race is run is a good way to go broke.

It’s the only way anyone is going to collect on that bet. President Romney is getting a kick out of this nonsense.

Mr Power does not understand the American mindset. This will act to his disadvantage.

Lemme get this straight - I lay a twenny down on 0bama and another twenny down on Romney, and Saturday I collect on 0bama and Wednesday I collect on Romney? And these guys do this for a living?

This tells me the world is full of suckers who will bet on a loser like Obama. We should not feel bad winning their money.

Either the liberals and the Europeans and the heavily weighted Democrat polls are living in a dream world or we are. One way or the other, there will be some serious crashing to reality come tomorrow.

The Hillary of Massachusetts sealed his own way out when he spewed the “bi-partisan” speak. Compromised himself right out of the race. Dred to think all the compromised “bipartisan” action he’d go along with like he did with Hillary-Care in Massachusetts.

Demonstrates non-character compromising his office of checks-and-balances, or just plain deception.

It’s time for a new party.
