      Lots of books have this. Obama as a slight fave. No value in thi in my opinion unless you find great value in a specific repub.

            Obama at close to EV is a great bet. There is no Republican right now to lead the pack.

                MadTiger may or may not.

                You sound bitter. Work on that.

                Anyway, back to INTELLIGENT discussion:

                Without a specific Republican opponent, it is not really clear. With any half-way sane moderate Republican, it could be a wrap. Also, there is a small chance that some rogue Democrats will go for the spot, without the party's blessing.

                  Hard to unseat an incumbent.

                  It will ultimately turn on how the economy is doing and how close we are to being out of the middle east. As Bill Clinton so famously said, "it's the economy, stupid"...

                    And if you are implying some preference for voting for Obama because of race, think about it, fool. YOU are the one who is assuming they were voting for him.

                      Even though Bill Clinton has a confirmed genius IQ and is a Rhodes scholar, he has that knack for just saying it "the right way," very simply, and down home-ish.

                      Except for when he was in that Lewinsky situation and that Whitewater one. Then, that careful wording just gives people the notion that he is covering up something.

                                Incumbents have the advantage
                                And beside with the tea party being ruined by the right win religious nut jobs it will force the Republicans even farther to the right
                                Forcing them to put a complete wacko in the ticket
                                With the "Urban" vote, the Latinos in the west, and mid-Atlantic soccer moms all he has to do is capture one border state
                                Virginia or Colorado have that mix
                                so 4 more years of nothing getting done

                                    I'd take the other side at -150. Its got to be a coin flip. He is very vulnerable to a Republican who says he will repeal health care and cut the taxes Obama raised.

                                            It all depends on the Republican candidates. Obama was -110 the week of the RNC. Once the convention was over he went all the way down to -200 or lower before the election. The best time to bet Obama is when the Republicans are in full force and are dancing in the streets prematurely.

                                              it would be pointless to have lines out right now, he has no definitive opponent yet.

                                              he will be the fave most likely throughout the campaign season, as most incumbents usually are.

                                                  I pray, somehow, someway, it's Sarah Palin. We will see the most lopsided election ever.

                                                          Still time for Obama to turn around the economy. Tough to beat an incumbent. No real Republican threat.

                                                              Blacks are only 15% of the vote ( tops).

                                                              You still need the White vote if you're Obama.

People still got a hard on for republicans because of Bush. I bet Obama early last election and that waas easy money at a good price because i got it early.
