don't get these odds on Biden again. As a bet it's a longshot and not one I want to collect on but I put a small wager on our Vice President just in case. Of course it's a shame that we have to place bets on our own presidential race outside of the country.





Barack Obama 4-5
Sarah Palin 10-1
Mitt Romney 12-1
Hillary Clinton 15-1
Joe Biden 15-1
Mike Huckabee 15-1
Rob Portman 15-1
Al Gore 20-1
Bobby Jindal 20-1
Condoleeza Rice 20-1
Evan Bayh 20-1
Jeb Bush 20-1
Michael Bloomberg 20-1
Tim Pawlenty 20-1
Bill Frist 25-1
Charlie Crist 25-1
John Edwards 30-1
Rudolph Giuliani 30-1
David Petraeus 40-1
John McCain 50-1
Mark Sanford 50-1
Mark Warner 50-1
Newt Gingrich 50-1
Ron Paul 50-1

8. Unless those odds came from Nate Silver, I wouldn't trust them
And even then I'd use them as a "rough guide" for a period of app. 48 hrs.

10. I don't know WTF is wrong with people that they have enough
time and money to waste doing something like this.

Maybe a better use of your money is to feed someone who is hungry.

Use the money for gas to drive a Veteran to a medical appointment.

Or gamble on the lives of political figures.

Who really gives a fuck?
