2008 Election Props

[Clarkmeister]

In case anyone has any insight:

Thu 12/1 Hillary Clinton vs Anybody else
Bet pays out when Candidate Accepts at Convention

11 Hillary Clinton (all bets have action) +108
12 Anybody else (all bets have action) -118

2008 US Presidential Election: Party to win the Presidency
Thu 12/1 Party to win. ALL BETS HAVE ACTION.

1 Republican Party -105
2 Democratic Party -105

Hillary a slight dog to get the Dem nomination, the General Election at a dead pick'em. Thoughts?

[BCPVP]

America's gotten fed up with Congress and POTUS. I saw on Real Clear Politics a poll that said the job approval ratings for the GOP was 38% and for the Dems it was 35%. You can tell by the mad scrambling by both parties that they know it, too.

I'm curious where you set the odds on Mark Warner at.

Way too much time between now and 11/4/08 to even think about betting on which party wins. Remember Bush 41 had a huge +approval rating less than 2 years before the '92 election.

I'd need a little more than +108 to bet on Hillary, but I think that one's close.

Look for an unknown Dem senator to win it, such as Huckabee from Arkansas.

Huckabee is the republican governor of Arkansas. Mark Pryor and Blanche Lincoln (both democrats) are the senators.

[BluffTHIS!]

Governors and ex-governors have an inside track. Like Evan Bayh vs. Bill Owen.

Hillary should be a big dog to get the nod. She will continued to be talked about as a nominee, but its not likely. She's too big of a risk. Too many people hate her, and shes a woman. Next presidential election dems will pick someone a more 'conservative' canadate, meaning more typical, aka a white male. look for someone like mark warner.

Middle of the craps layout. But you don't get every number except 7.

I think there is real value on taking the Democratic field here at -118.

Hillary has a lot of money and a lot of connections at this point. But most democratic insiders are really skeptical about her ability to win, and that is going to be the most important criteria. Also, in general, so many things can happen between now and 2008 that picking one horse this early is always going to be a dicey proposition. For instance, if there is another major terrorist attack, it is game over for anybody like her who lacks serious foreign policy credentials or military experience.

I believe polls also say that most American voters are very happy with their own congressmen.

[housenuts]

ok, at sportingbetusa hilary clinton is 3-1 to win.

if the field is -118 couldn't you stand to profit alot?

ie. bet $10 on hilary, and bet $25 on the field. either way you win. multiply your wagers by 10,000 and you win alot.

i'm only posting this because i don't have the money to invest in a bet that is more than 2 years down the road

edit: ah, i just checked and the -108 is for her to win the democratic nominee. that makes things different.

nonetheless sportingbetusa has no juice on party to win the election. democrats, republicans both 1-1

Observation of the Century!
(and everyone keeps wondering why Congress is so screwed up)

I've also noticed every American voter thinks at least 50% of all American voters is stoopid.

Dennis Miller might have had it correct when he said at the 2004 Democratic Convention "2008 is going to be called Obama-palooza."
