Bang up to date! John McCain 1/7 Mitt Romney 9/2 Ron Paul 33/1 Mike Huckabee 33/1 Rudy Giuliani 50/1 Fred Thompson 100/1 This was how it looked 2 days ago: John McCain 4/11 Mitt Romney 5/2 Ron Paul 16/1 Mike Huckabee 16/1 Rudy Giuliani 25/1 Fred Thompson 66/1 Insane McCain has moved right in and is now an astonishing 1/7 ON to win. Mitt, Paul and Huck have moved out. Giuliani and Thompson have both moved in.
I can't believe that whole staying in Iraq for 1 million years thing isn't sinking McCain. Have people just not heard that? I hope Paul mentions it on Leno tonight.
He's completely insane yet is currently favourate for the GOP nomination too! John McCain 2/1 Rudolph Giuliani 9/4 Mike Huckabee 3/1 Mitt Romney 4/1 Ron Paul 14/1 Fred Thompson 16/1
This election has gone back and forth with the supposed frontrunner so many times, it's just ridiculous. There is no clear frontrunner, and I don't see how this won't be a brokered convention. So who will be in it to the end? Looks like money is going to become a factor once again.
Well I think RP will have the monetary support to the end of the finish line. We just need to get the word out, he has come along way from even 6 months ago. Things look promising for him, more for him than Thomson or Mr. 911 for that matter who are hanging by a thread.
It's so funny, every day the media is propping up a new candidate as a supposed frontrunner. There is no true leader, and so the true test will be who can win over the smaller primary states and run a nationwide campaign, rather than focusing on just a few states. Even then, a brokered convention looks likely. Guerilla, say this thing goes to a brokered convention with Paul, Romney, and Guiliani fairly even...what exactly happens, and what are our odds?
I've seen several publicans suggest if McCain wins NH, he will be the clear front runner. I'm not sure if NH has more delegates than Iowa, but if so, might justify that position. Romney has led NH for a long time, and recently McCain has moved passed him. McCain won this state in 2000 and has strong support and campaign there. Guiliani is not campaigning there, nor was he in Iowa, nor South Carolina. Guiliani will not be in the spot light until Florida. I don't believe ANY candidate could boast about beating Rudy in states where he's not campaigning. I suppose "small victories" could be celebrated, but it's not reflective of reality. Florida, will tell the tale of Rudy's gamble. I'm surprised by the "odds" as well. Probably a tough call to make, because NH is historically very unpredictable.
I am surprised too, but McCain is way way the favorate. If you were to bet on Insane McCain to win NH you would need to bet $7's to win $1!
