According to the updated political betting odds, Barack Obama is now a 2-1 favorite to be next President of the
Already earlier in the day, an email smear campaign of “Sarah Palin is trailer trash” had commenced, even before Gustav hit the
While tennis fans were betting heavily on Rafael Nadal to defeat Sam Querrey, Cy McCormick reports that some sharp bettors are betting on John McCain as the big underdog at sundry sportsbooks.
Most political observers agree that the pregnancy of Palin’s daughter will have little affect on the race, though pro-unborn rights activists are sure to rally around Bristol’s decision.
