I would bet cash money this whole thread will be printed in the Village Voice or some other leftist publication, complete with smarmy comments, lies, and mockery of our grammar and spelling errors (of which I just made a few in my haste to reply).

I will take some of that.

I have not had the time to read every post - but, I did take some time to read up on Rick's writing. He is a good writer, and a good thinker. Unfortunately, his presuppositions are just wrong. But, that is correctable.

You made a bet.

If he does what you said, I will donate a one time $100 to the board,

If he does not, you pay the $100.

Election Day is collection time.

You have a bet. I will gladly be proven wrong.

And Perlstein is a good writer. I don't personally think he is a good thinker, as has been evidenced on this thread and in many of the witings I have read.
