2012 Odds!!!

The midterms are over (for the most part). I mean, I still don't know who won the Alaska senate seat but I long for the days when no one cared about Alaska politics. What? I dreamt that? Oh. Well, at least nobody's talking about Delaware anymore. What? I dreamt that, too? Damn you, Ambien!

Anyway, onward to 2012! All abroad the "Who's Gonna Run" speculation train! According to 1800-sports.com, the artist formally known as Alaska's Governor matters the most:

Republican Nominee			Moneyline
Sarah Palin			+300
Mitt Romney			+400
Bobby Jindal			+500
Mike Huckabee			+500
Tim Pawlenty			+1000
Mark Sanford			+1200
Charlie Crist			+1200
David Petraeus			+1500
Newt Gingrich			+1500
Jeb Bush			+2000
John McCain			+2000
Rudolph Giuliani			+1500
Ron Paul			+2000

The odds for the democratic nomination:

Democratic Candidate			Moneyline
Barack Obama			-750
Joe Biden			+800

Hmmm. . .not so fast, Vegas

From Newsmax:

"In the poll, [of 1,000 registered voters] respondents were asked: 'If there were an election for president of the United States today, and the only two names on the ballot were Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, whom would you vote for?"

Secretary Clinton crushed President Obama 60% to 40%. And speaking of crushing, looky what I found:
