wsex under the politics link/long term markets. That's what it equates to under the "live betting". 34 dollar bet turns into 100 if it wins. I think it's the same place Wayne got his lines.

Sorry Clint missed your post--

Won't make any Pres bets till I see candidates--then if have a fav will bet it following other parties convention--as lines have moved about almost 10 points after each parties in past.

Only way I prob would wager before conventions is if Dems had Clinton/Obama ticket

Then would go immediately at best odds on GOP.

I believe it is only unwinable combination.

My reasoning is Obama is the killer--he won't add any black votes as they would get their 90% regardless if Homer Simpson was VP candidate--however he will lose mega hispanic votes--and many others.

If Hilliary is smart her best VP bets of current candidates would be Richardson to garner Hispanic vote --or Biden to add some authority and experience to ticket.

another BIG factor is will Bloomingberg enter race as independent.
=====================

Hmm Lot of emotion out there on obama surge-- odds have dropped again to pickem--was forced to take some more--
