The parameters are listed. It's effective election night, when the last of ABC, CBS and NBC declare Obama the winner.

When Romney takes Pennsylvania or Ohio, I will tune in for once to MSNBC

Romney lost Pennsylvania a month ago.

Just a heads up to those guys betting you: I like how the bet is "effective when when the last of ABC, CBS and NBC declare Obama the winner."

Great lawyer's bet: so it's not effective when Romney is declared the winner?

Besides, Fox News will likely announce the winner first. Or watch for Chris Matthews' head to explode on MSNBC.

No. Or if Romney is called the winner. No "lawyering" there. Those three stations will call a winner, when the last station calls and confirms - poof, Coach is gone from Derby Trail and Hooves is gone from Politics.

Another thing not mentioned is if one of the candidates doesn't make it to election day. Bet is off then, but I wouldn't expect Coach or Hooves to be parsing for outs like you have, above.

Besides, Fox News will likely announce the winner first. Or watch for Chris Matthews' head to explode on MSNBC.

Yes, Fox may announce first, but Fox no longer has any basis in reality, or any credibility whatsoever, even in the sadly non-journalistic world of American media. They are not a news station any longer, and are no longer treated as such in this country. Matthews has an opinion show, not a news show. I don't watch him, you be my guest.

No it's effective when he's declared the winner. Regardless of if the votes are contested.

It's fine if it's a reversal..she can come back and I leave or vise versa.

But she's gone if Obama loses. I'm gone if Romney loses. Period. No semantics where either of us can linger. If she tries that sh.it or I try it I expect Steve to IP ban us for good.

Nowhere it was mentioned that the msm had to declare. This bit.ch is being held to the original bet.

I live in a swing state.

I should vote for Romney just for Pillow Pants!!
