Thank you Danny. You said it perfectly.

FDR is truly the last president to radically change our country. What exactly did Nixon do, some foreign policy issues that any pres would have had to face, also some domestic integration issues that also would have been handled by any pres. Truman what the atomic bombs on Japan, or the creation of Israel, creation of NATO or the UN? Reagan? LOL but nothing has truly changed with any of those last 3. I mean really some spiffy foreign policies that had to happen but nothing truly radical in regards to within our nation. Ron Paul wants to do this and no one else running gives a damn.

unfortunately Ron Paul also wants to change a few things in a very, very bad way. And this is in large part why his numbers will not change.

Being as how this is a sports betting page; I'd love to hear what everyone thinks the candidates actual chances are. Where is the value?

Personally if I could figure out how to use intrade I'd load up on Romney for GOP nominee at 24.1. He will win Iowa and that number is bound to spike.

Damn, McCain at 6.8 is a steal as he certainly has a better than 15 to 1 shot at getting the nod and there will most likely be a few spikes here as primaries approach too.

FYP, I'm guessing.

Bodog has RP at +250 to win the Dem nomination. LOL. Wish they offered a no like 5 Dimes does. The no line on RP there is -1700 which is good value as I see the fair line here at -10000 max. However, I don't think the ROI over the period of time it will take to settle warrants it. If it settled faster, it would also act as a nice hedge on my happiness and potentially on my bottom line as well.

Not one bit sir. I would gladly elect a woman or a black woman/man. It is what they believe in and what they stand for that will decide who I vote for. I don't agree with Hilary though on the majority of what she stands for.

FYP you really don't know me so don't type that shiat.

I plan to make a lot of money off this election and betting against Hilary because this COUNTRY isn't ready to elect a female President is why. Honestly I would rather elect a monkey than either choice we will probably be given by the Dems and Reps. And yes the monkey can be female or male, just as long as they can throw around shiat as good as the other politicians running can.

Fair enough.

It's just that in my experience the people who confidently assert that this country will never elect an X (where X = woman, black person, Mormon, etc.) tend to be projecting their own prejudices, or at least the prejudice of their region.

I don't personally detect any reason the US wouldn't elect a woman. There have been women leaders in tons of countries, including countries that are more fundamentally conservative than the US.

There is a very strong anti-Hillary bias out the imo, but I don't think it has much to do with her being female per se.

I like Huckabee at +700. He may be leading now in Iowa. Stranger things have happened.

Where are you seeing Huck at +700?
