:That seems to make sense, and I agree it is not simple to express. In any case a Presidential election, which can change the course of history, seems far to consequential to be an example of emotional gambling by that definition. Should that be removed from the article? [[User:MichaelR|MichaelR]] 12:37, 3 September 2008 (EDT)
