Betting on elections . . .

Lately I've heard several Libs wanting to bet on the Presidential election. It is an interesting Liberal tick--very adolescent, as if politics is a big game or as if a Conservative's unwillingness to enter a bet with a blustery bonehead proves something . . . I guess they think they're calling our bluff (after all, EVERYone knows this election is in_the_bag!) or that they can dispirit us.

Well, not that Libs will care, but while looking over Tennessee election law this evening, I came across this statute which prohibits betting on an election.
§ 2-19-129. Betting; on election

A person commits a Class C misdemeanor if such person makes any bet or wager of money or other valuable thing upon any election.
