Get yer bets on!

Re: US Presidential Election
An independent survey of 1000 registered voters, conducted by the NYT (actually they surveyed 1000 black folks as they walked out of the LA Welfare Office) shows BO with a significant lead. We've all seen these polls before. The 25 years that I lived 10 miles from the White House says that the Oblamas have lots of dirty laundry that needs to be reconciled.

Re: US Presidential Election
Will the odds change as we get closer to the election, or are they fixed?

Re: US Presidential Election
I'd definitely throw in a none of the above options. Why not. Five months is a long time and anything could happen to at least one of the candidates in that stretch. VBookie doesn't really work for these long term events. Has to be short duration or single one day event.
I ain't leaving my hard earned cash (and with no interest payed at that), tied up in something that isn't going to have an outcome for five months.
This is precisely what's wrong with the banking system!
Humbug.
