WASHINGTON (CNN) — Tuesday's GOP presidential debate is taking place in Manchester, New Hampshire, but the way CNN Pipeline political analysts Arianna Huffington and Michael Murphy are talking, it may as well be Las Vegas.

The two set up an early wager when the immigration debate began on stage.

"I bet you a dollar [Sen. John] McCain will use the phrase 'silent amnesty,' " challenged Huffington, a Democratic analyst.

Sure enough, a few moments later McCain used the exact phrase.

Murphy, a Republican analyst, only agreed to pay 50 cents.

The only good bet is that Dr. Ron Paul has won this debate! WTG CNN and WTG Ron Paul! :)
