The 2008 Presidential betting odds have been posted by the World-wide leaders in Online Sports, Casino and Racebook wagering; Sportsbook.com, BetUS, BodogLife, SportsBetting.com and SBG Global. All the sportsbooks have updated their odds and now is the time to place your bets on your favorite candidate! The race is down to the final two democratic and republic candidates and if you were thinking about betting on John McCain, now is the best time ever as his odds dropped considerably. LooseLines Sportsbook posts the best odds on Senator John McCain with +770 odds (a $100 wager pays out $770) and Sportsbook.com posts the best odds for Senator Barack Obama at -700 odds (a $700 wager pays out $100)!

If I were a betting man I would stay away from Mccain.  Odds makers don't miss very often.

I kind of want to put 100$ on McCain so no matter who gets elected, at least something will make me happy

That's odd--the latest AP and Investor's Business Daily polls have in a virtual tie.

Vegas odds aren't based on what they think will actually happen, it's what the oddsmakers think the betting public believes. If they can get an equal amount of betting on either side of the line, then vegas wins.
The gallup poll has Obama ahead 52-42 among registered voters, and the likely results in the electoral college strongly favor Obama.

I'm not one to believe in the accuracy of polls.  I think Vegas is more accurate in picking the winner than polls. If I do look at the polls I like real clear politics. It averages all the polls.
here is the website link  http://www.realclearpolitics.com/polls/
It currently shows Obama + 7.00 nationally.  
I like the  tenacity you show for your candidate.  It borderlines on fanatical  ;) :)..  Why don't you come to the land of Lincoln for one of the Chicago shows, I'll be at both.  I'll buy you a beer.

I'll see what I can do--maybe we could shake hands and agree to disagree like Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill used to do as well.
P.S.--I really don't have a candidate this time around (just one I definitely don't want as my president).

You guys aren't voting for McCain either?  ;)
Evey: Are you, like, a crazy person?
V: I am quite sure they will say so.

I'm not voting for McCain. I'm voting against Obama/Biden.

How about  a fist bump over shaking hands, just kidding, Fist bumps are gay.  How about we just headbutt each other :).

When I voted,  I voted against Palin.

By "gay" do you mean the scourge of human existence or just an alternative choice that you have no problem with?
