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.

Re: 2008 Election Props
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

Re: 2008 Election Props
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. [/ QUOTE ] Huckabee is the republican governor of Arkansas. Mark Pryor and Blanche Lincoln (both democrats) are the senators.

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