I heard on public radio that the surest prediction of political races
is where the bettors are putting their money, they then proceeded to
say that that, too, is split so they didn't know. An item on MSNBC
showed a better (no pun intended, but I'll take credit anyway)
indicator: since 1936, 17 elections in a row, this will be the 18th,
the last game before the elections that the Washington Redskins play
has "predicted" the outcome in that if the Redskins win , the
incumbent wins, if the Redskins lose, the challenger wins. They play
the Packers today at 1 pm. It's predicted the Packers(3-4) by 2 over
the Redskins(2-4). We don't have any of those Cheesehead hats so the
wife and I are going to cover our heads with slices of American cheese
and root for the favorites.

That's not true. A $1 bet on Bush wins you $1.65. A $1 bet on Kerry wins
you $2. A $1 bet on Nader wins you $1001. The betting odds favor Bush.

You missed the part of the broadcast where they said the professional
bettor's had it Bush 63% and Kerry 37%.
