Anyone see a line on Obama?

Railbird · Dec 24, 2006

looking for +500 or better to win it all.

Railbird · Dec 24, 2006

I think he could beat Hillary and Mccain

gynecologist · Dec 24, 2006

He is part black, and his middle name is Hussein..

No chance

I THINK A LOT OF VALUE ON THE DEMS IMO.

Railbird....
Obama is 6/1 at Hollywood.

Decent odds but personally I don't think it is the right bet.

fivedoorsdown · Dec 24, 2006

he's too green
hilliary wins this next election (8) years and if mr karat keeps his mouth shut and nothing stupid he will have a decent chance 2016

SSI · Dec 24, 2006

John Edwards will beat them both for the dem side......

Valuebets · Dec 24, 2006

My money is on Edwards. The other two are all up against history. Since no woman or african american ever came close to winning their party nomination. Plus Edwards is from the south, so he's going to get that southern support. The only thing he needs to work on is to raise enough campaign funds to be competitive.

Railbird · Dec 24, 2006

I dont think Obama is perceived as black.

No, Rail, he's actually perceived as being Chinese..... stick with LL baseball and tennis, it's obvious you don't have a clue about politics either.

It's a shame, but it's true!

He ain't exactly white, therefore he's sort of black, but not too black. I think he has a decent shot... Democrat ( due), sorta a semi-black, youngish like a JFK, fairly good-looking ( I guess ?), not Hillary. Politics aren't my forte, I don't know a whole lot about the guy, think he's a senator ( maybe a governer ?) from one of those states that starts with the letter "I" ( or was it "O" ?)... one of those "vowel"states.

He seems like a good transitional candidate.... not all the way back to re-electing Hillary, a Dem, youngish, blackish, attractive and tall ( ?).

A contender for sure, unless there's dirt from the past on him, that I don't know about.

I pass the bet, but would use a FP on the man at good + odds.

Don't throw your money away... Donate it to the Salvation Army instead.

BuzzRavanaugh · Dec 24, 2006

Tough to elect the Oprah candidate when we live in a Jerry Springer society.

Doug · Dec 24, 2006

Not my style to tie up money long-term on poitics, but he's my ( unbet) horse.

Good teeth, too !

I don't know how tall he is ( another factor). I think America might be ready for a semi-black JFK type, but no bet for me.

Doug · Dec 24, 2006

Blacks are something like 20% of the population ( I believe). B.O. should tend to get that vote, women might tend to vote for him because he might be the best looking guy running ( ?), young people might vote him over an old guy.

He seems a dangerous guy to go against, betting-wise. I personally think USA elects a black (ish) man before a woman ( sort of in HC). I sure ain't laying -1500 that BO isn't elected ( if offerred).

B.O. got some things going for him, I don't look at his record, I look at his picture, as voters do.

I have no clue if he is a good guy, he's a senator or governor from Indiana or Iowa or Oklahama or somewhere.

Whoson1st · Dec 24, 2006

He is a senator from the STATE of Illinois. I don't think you can rule him out at all because of race. He's a US senator! I'm a white Southerner and would support him over Hillary any day!

DrunkenHorseplayer · Dec 24, 2006

I'd vote for him in a second but a lot of voters won't; given that the Dems' two leading candidates are a black dude and a woman, you've gotta like the Repubs at +100.

Doug · Dec 24, 2006

I don't vote, but I sure as hell ain't shorting B.O. in the long term markets, if anything I bet on him. The man has certain qualities that make electable, IMO ! I'm not a politics guy, but Taylor Hicks won A.I., didn't he ?

How different is an election ?

So he's somebody from a vowel state, probably a lawyer also... typical credentials, he isn't Arnold Schartzenandeggerer or Jesse Ventura... in other words he's a standard candidate, even more reason to not fade him.

Any dirt on B.O. ?

If I were to bet this, he'd be my early pick !
