Place Your Bet on Sarah! I don’t usually pass on Newswire info but since we were on the subject anyway…
DUBLIN, September 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Ireland’s largest bookmaker, Paddy Power, have reported a “steady flow” of support for Barack Obama to be the next American President.
The betting company were forced to slash Obama’s odds yesterday 02/09/08) from 1/2 to 4/9 after punters seemed to react negatively to recent revelations around Republican V.P. Nominee Sarah Palin. One Irish based punter wasted absolutely no time rowing in behind Obama and placed a bet of EUR50,000 to win EUR25,000 on an Obama victory in November.
Sarah Palin is now a 8/1 shot (from 16/1 yesterday) with Paddy Power to be dropped off the Republican ticket prior to November’s election. Paddy Power are also offering betting on what surprise the Alaskan senator will next spring on the American public. A driving offence is the bookies 5/2 favorite, a moose burger addiction is a less likely 33/1 shot and for the Alaskan Governor to claim a past abduction by aliens seems very unlikely and is available at odds of 500/1.
Ken Robertson political betting analyst for Paddy Power said, “We’ve had numerous requests from punters across the globe looking for odds on different stories to emerge regarding the Sarah Palin, breaking and entering an igloo at 250/1 is my personal favourite but I would consider it extremely unlikely!”

5/4 Driving Offence
7/4 Cheated in school or college exams

33/1 Moose burger addiction
40/1 Donated money to the Obama campaign
50/1 Wears Bill Clinton pyjamas to bed
250/1 Breaking and entering an Igloo
500/1 Abducted by aliens

Fine, I suppose this is where you look for some witty insights to my mind. A "bio" of sorts. Here is the deal... I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, golf, kayak, fly, race my car through the mountains, write (a lot), and travel extensively. I am almost old enough not to care what other people think about me...almost. ~Godfadr
My money is on the moose burgers.
“Stripes”, you can parlay that bet if she broke into an igloo to get them…
I don’t think McCain will drop her. She’s the poster child for PWTs (POOR WHITE TRASH), the underbelly of American society.
Harriett………..being poor (I can pay my bills but that’s all) and white myself, I’d have to ask you to define “poor white trash” because I do NOT consider myself less than anyone else…..(not offended, but curious).
The “underbelly” Harriett?
I am going to assume someone has some issues (and not Palin in this case). So, what do you mean be the comment (assuming you are not out simply trolling for reactions).
