Betting Line on the Veepstakes

First, I need to apologize for the slow blogging: internet problems all day.

Anyway, it's time for the odds. And, I promise, this will be the last gambling post of the day.

Edwards 4:1
Vilsack 9:1 (would've been 8:1 but he has the word "sack" in his name)
Gephardt 12:1
Sam Nunn 20:1
Bob Graham 40:1
HRC 50:1
McCain 100:1
Rick Santorum 1,000,000,000:1

Extra Punting:
Cheney to stay on ticket through election 3.5:1
Bush to "win" one debate 8:1
Bush to "win" all debates 25:1
Republican convention to turn into Christian right-wing circus a la 1992 6:1
Bush to attack gay rights during convention speech 2:1
Bush to do so without using words "gay," "lesbian," or "homosexual" 5:1
Bush to use term "compassionate conservatism" in speech 4:1
Bush agenda actually to be compassionate 75:1
Bush to propose cutting government spending before election 30:1
Republicans to criticize John Kerry for being big gov't liberal 1.5:1
Republican congress to continue increasing size of gov't at rate unmatched since LBJ administration 1.5:1
Kerry's convention speech not to be accurately described as mind-numbingly boring 10:1
Kerry speech not to be accurately described as at least a bit boring 50:1

Alright, basta.
