More oh-eight: The bets are in...

Posted: Wednesday, December 26, 2007 9:07 AM by Mark Murray
Filed Under: ,

Bloomberg's Al Hunt does a great "odds" column on who is likely to be the next president. He makes Clinton a 3-1 favorite with Obama a 7-2 favorite (for you know gamblers out there, that's 3.5-1); He makes Romney the favorite on the GOP side. By the way, don't miss this great factoid from Al: "In eight of the past 10 elections, the party that settled its nomination first won the presidency in November."

All the more reason for the ditzy, disorganized blonde to withdraw after Iowa.

Hillary Hilton is too dishonest and scandal plagued to be elected President.
She has no real 'experience'

She's like a stewardess who wants to the airplane, based on her years of proximity to the pilots !!
Not much useful experience....

It's time for a change in direction

Obama and Edwards can lead us away from 'business as usual' in Washington DC

They can both lead us away from the current partisan divide and the stale arguments of the 90's

Let's put an end to 15 years of lies and dishonesty from the White House
And an end to the scandals and hyper-partisanship of the past 15 years

It's time for a CHANGE

Obama/Edwards '09
Edwards/Obama '08

Honesty, Integrity, Reform
Al Hunt says there is "no stronger choice" than Clinton at 3-to-1, then gives Obama better odds at 7-to-2.  Another sign that America has fallen behind in math.
More propaganda, Hillary can't be elected, when all ads run about her communist dealings, the Black Panthers, Taking drug and criminal money for Bill's pardons, not using Bill's last name during marriage, course looking back was a good idea since his perverted ways. Flunking the bar exam, talking minimum wage and not leaving a waitress a tip, turning her back on a homeless vet, begging for a dollar.  Attending KOS which named our general Betreaus, and lecturing him. Not one military man would serve under her, they hate her guts, where does that leave us, in dangeris where.

Barack Obama brought in more campaign contributions from people who work for the four branches of the military and National Guard than any White House contender from either party.
He has the #1 environmental LCV rating(96) of any Democrat running.
He has the most newspaper and legislative endorsements in Iowa.
Des Moines', Iowa---Mayor Cownie(won with 80% of votes in election) endorsed Barack Obama. Mayor Cownie is a champion for the homeless and the environment.
"for you know gamblers out there, that's 3.5-1); "

You mean "non" gamblers, but if you can't do that arithmatic, you're an idiot.

David: Congratulations on finding the CAPS release.

"Not one military man would serve under her, they hate her guts, where does that leave us, in danger is where."


Soldiers follow orders, sometimes even unlawful ones, as it's been our national disgrace to discover over the last couple of years, and you'd know that if you'd ever been one.

"Not one soldier would serve under her." I'd go live somewhere else if I believed that. Everyone of them swears an oath.

Again, congrats on learning something about your keyboard.
Lee you need to go live somewhere else and watch the news and soldier interviews, get off the gay channel.
David Anders, is there anyone you don't hate?
David Anders Pharr (from combat), TX, you seem long on anger and short on facts.  What did you watch?  When did you watch it?  Who's feeding you your information?  Did you wash your hands after you pulled your last post out of your hindquarters?
David - join up. I did my time. (And I did it so American idiots could be as loud and stupid as they please.)

As for getting off the gay channel - and miss meeting nice people like you?
