Last night at Drinking Liberally, David Goldstein of HorsesAss offered to bet me $700 … the amount he has contributed to her campaign this year, that she would win in the primary with over 50% of the vote.
I refused to bet that much, after all David is now a hired writer for a billionaire while I am a mere state employee. Besides, David has another capitalist interest in the saga of Sawant, he is ghost writing her autobiography.
I did offer to bet $50, a bet taken up by one of David’s friends. I guess this was not rich enough for David.
You can read more of my thoughts on the performance of Comrade Sawant here on TA later today or read what Josh Feit has written a on Publicola.
I recommend it!
