Manedwolf, you assert that RP can't and won't win - over, over, and over again. My question is: would you put your money where you mouth is? Would you actually place as little as $100 to back up your assertion, or it's just talk, albeit expressed quite energetically?
Note: this is not an invitation for a bet. Never ever did I say here on TFL that "person such and such won't/will win, guaranteed" I abstain from making strong statements like that because there is always that randomness factor, and therefore won't put as much as a $1 to rule out any of the candidates. You, on the other hand, seem to have it figured out. So, how about that. Send me a $100, and at the end of the elections, if RP is not in the office, I'll send it back to you. I'll even adjust for inflation - with the way things are going it would only be fair, and meanwhile that $100 will be properly invested. The payback won't be in some looney "Liberty" dollars - it will be in old-fashioned, albeit losing respect around the globe, greenbacks.
If you can guarantee it (and you sound like you can), then there must be nothing to lose, and something to gain: you would show to the community here that it's not just babble. I would qualify it as moral victory. How about that?
