Money and bets on Obama

Don't count out Hillary, I think some of these bets are off the mark. She's got a toolchest of dirty tricks yet to be used.

Betting Obama Beats Clinton

Reuters reports that those willing to back their political predictions with their money overwhelmingly bet Obama will defeat Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

On the Republican side, McCain is the overwhelming favorite to win the Republican presidential nomination, with Intrade traders giving him nearly a 95 percent chance of winning. Huckabee is given only about a 2.5 percent chance of winning.

I think the general public is finding its voice. I am hoping that dirty tricks won’t work, that the public backlash against Bill Clinton in South Carolina was a warning to her campaign.
The fact is, that since SC, she has done little to re-energize her campaign and her spin doctors do not appear to be in control of what is being said/written about her.
Is it dirty politics or bust for Hillary? A true leader has the ability to anticipate and adapt and so far, since the issue with Bill, she has been stuck in idle.
Al Gore announced today he will not endorse either- neutral to Obama, a huge insult to Camp Clinton.

I'm taking those bets. Hillary is not going to lose to Obama. It is not going to happen.
