Axelrod and Scarborough make mustache wager

David Axelrod is putting the line of hair below his nose on the line Nov. 6, and Joe Scarborough also has skin in the game.
 
The senior strategist for President Obama’s reelection campaign wagered his nearly half-a-century old mustache Wednesday while appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
 
Axelrod boldly declared to hosts Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski that if Obama loses Minnesota, Michigan, or Pennsylvania to GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, “I will shave off my mustache of 40 years if we lose any of those three states.”

The political consultant then asked the clean-shaven Scarborough to pledge to grow a ‘stache of his own if Obama won the states.
 
Scarborough replied, “I can do a bet on the other side if, let’s say, you guys win Florida or North Carolina. How’s that?”
 
The on-air deal was quickly settled — with both Scarborough and Axelrod agreeing to the terms of the facial hair bet.
 
Sean Spicer, communications director at the Republican National Committee, posted on Twitter Wednesday afternoon, “I have a coupon for Gillette razors I can send you @davidaxelrod – just let me know.”
