Kerry and Delahunt bet on victory margins

Buried in this Cape Cod Times political round-up on Monday is an interesting tidbit from U.S. Sen. John Kerry's recent race against Harwich Republican Jeff Beatty.

The Times reports that Kerry bet Congressman Bill Delahunt, a Quincy Democrat, that he would defeat Beatty by a larger margin than the 33.8 percent Delahunt beat Beatty by in 2006 for his congressional seat.

Based on unofficial results, it appears Kerry won the bet; he beat Beatty by 34.8 percent.

The Times said Kerry and Delahunt did not disclose what they wagered.
