Looking at it from all angles, I see the odds at greater than 95%.

So where can I go to place a bet? Vegas?

4. I sincerely hope that you are wrong.... I would like a real Democrat for President
not a vichy DLC "democrat"

8. You can bet at TradeSports
www.tradesports.com

Looks like the odds for HRC are about 3 to 2 at the moment.

9. yeah I do too - but it's because too many in opposition
seem to prefer wallowing in their anger and bitterness instead of getting their collective sh*t together and changing the paradigm

11. I suspect she will be...but I learned never to bet on politics...
Having said that...she is in an extraordinarily good position right now and the odds are most definitely in her favor!

12. I Was Just Going To Post That EVEN Keith Seems To Be Pumping It Up
for her! I'm SOOOOOOO SICK of hearing this over and over and over!! How flawless she runs a campaign, how smooth she is with people, her ability to win over others even with her high negatives, how well her "message" is being received by WOMEN especially! How WOMEN will overwhelmingly VOTE FOR HER in droves!

Well, I'm a woman and I know quite a few OTHER WOMEN, and WE don't get it!! I try so very hard NOT to be negative about OUR candidates, but I'm just about to pull my hair out over ALL THIS HYPE! I've become very cynical since BFEE, but I'm beginning to become cynical about this too!

All I see, hear or have shoved at me is HILLARY! I WON'T campaign for her myself, that is one thing I will absolutely NOT DO! If I HAVE to vote for her I guess I will, but it's something I'm beginning to REALLY DREAD!

I know many of us think that the Repukes are just salivating to have her as the nominee and I for one have said it all along... AND, I DO think that Red Rover has ammo up the WAZOO and loaded for bear just waiting to blast away! No, WE won't see him, but it WILL BE HIM for the most part! Add some Tom DeLay and you've got evil brewing!

ENOUGH ALREADY!!

Edited on Tue Aug-14-07 07:44 PM by loveangelc
I was just watching countdown with keith olbermann and it looks like he's supporting her...:/

he said it was brilliant or something how she said she hit a nerve with the bush administration. well excuse me but what she said wasnt that brilliant to me, anybody could have thought to say that and of course it hit a nerve. if any other candidate said 'i hi a never' noone would care

14. There are websites that allow you to bet on such things.
Tradesports.com and Intrade.com are two of them. I wouldn't bet too big on it though. Of course I wouldn't have bet Bush in 2004 but my brother made a nice little piece of change off of that fraud.

That is true...the polls now shouldnt mean that much. But everyone has been acting like it is her birthright to be the first female President for years.

27. Well, I'll take the 19-1 you're laying against HRC
She's strong, but in no way that big of a favorite.
