Betting Odds for Presidential Elections 2008 Falling

My last bet on McCain winning the U.S. Presidential Election 2008 was placed when odds where up at 3.70 - ever since then odds are falling, Obama could soon become the underdog.


As we see Barack Obama making some bad decisions (pastor, running-mate, etc.) the polls and odds continue to move to John McCain's favor. For now we already get Las Vegas bookmakers odds of 1.73 for Obama, which is an absolute high as an absolute low for him. McCain at the same time could still double one's money, with odds of 2.00 today.


As much as this is no political blog, it is still all about making money online and I can't complain.

Nostradamus about McCain against Obama: The elder one to be trusted

See, when Barack Obama was up in the polls he only knew to soon lose all his advantage. When John McCain was down he knew to win anyway, by creativity and some smart moves. That is their proven difference in experience. And it is exactly what Nostradamus said in his prophecy as people start to trust the more experienced guy: »The least part doubtful for the elder one« means within the prediction that the majority won't trust the young and inexperienced.

Even the bookmakers have to rethink towards reality as odds go down: McCain 2.20, Obama 1.61 now.

To chose Sarah Palin was probably not the last genius strike John McCain will have to offer within those last sixty days of his campaign, a fact that marks him as the responsible leader who doesn't care too much about his ego where a more common success is needed.

Slowly but surely 'rock star' Barack Obama's lipstick is coming off with every bad decision, and by now even his vice president candidate Joe Biden knows to admit: »Hillary Clinton would've been the better pig pick.«

At the end America will vote for the elder one as predicted by Nostradamus, no doubt about it.

Thank you, Mike Huckabee!

Yesterday a boldly resisting Mike Huckabee easily won GOP caucuses in Kansas and almost won the Louisiana primary over the Republicans' front-runner Senator John McCain, giving a breath of life to the former Arkansas governor's uphill campaign. Early today, the Republican Party chairman in Washington state declared John McCain the narrow winner of the state's caucuses, AP reported. Even though John McCain is well over halfway toward securing his nomination, Huckabee remains popular with the party's social conservative wing and insisted he would keep on racing.

McCain has earned 719 delegates toward the 1191 needed to bring in the GOP nomination, and political analysts say it will be too difficult for Huckabee to come back and win, since most of the Republican state contests are not winner-take-all anyway. Actually its pretty senseless for Huckabee to stay in the race, and at first sight he may mean harm to my election prediction in favor of John McCain.

But I thank him anyway: Mike Huckabee keeps the Republicans and McCain with him in the daily election news throughout the media, instead of leaving the field all to the Democrats - this is an important service towards general elections. And Huckabee gives as well front-runner John McCain lots of time to not yet announce his secretly chosen running-mate for a while. And so its all good.
