Barack Obama to win, says Las Vegas palm reader

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are going head-to-head for a shot at the White House and are currently neck-and-neck.

But the battle between the rival Democrats has already been decided by their hands, says Las Vegas palm-reader Mari Rose.

While the two candidates were squaring up at the Democrat primary in Nevada, we asked her to look at photos of their palms and predict their futures - without letting on who they were.

And after she gave them a onceover she was in no doubt - it's Obama to win hands down.

First Mari studied Hillary's hand and immediately said: "This person is scary. Whoever it is, she's under a great deal of stress - and has been for some time.

"She is a determined person. A good speaker, but someone who didn't come to her career in the traditional way.

"She will live until she is 78 years old, but she may have health issues quite soon. Above all, her iron will is overwhelming."

Next, we presented a picture of Obama's hand. Mari, who works as a psychic in Las Vegas's Palms Hotel, said: "This man is passionate, but he sees things in a very fundamental way - right or wrong, black or white.

5. It really is like...
winning the lottery, isn't it? About the same odds that the votes will actually count. Of course no one cares about that unless it provides the opportunity to go after John Kerry.

The loudest voice always wins.

7. I'd be more interested in what the odds makers are saying...
They are the only serious people in Vegas I'd listen to.

8. So she read the palms from photos but wasn't told whose were who. One was of a Black man,
one wasn't. I want Obama to win as much as any Obama supporter, but that's ridiculous.
