    Ron Paul Odds for 2012: 50/1

    http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/mar...day-537712824/

    DUBLIN, Jan. 16, 2009 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) ----To mark the inauguration of Barack Obama as the forty-fourth President of the United States of America, Irish bookmaking chain Paddy Power are offering a wide range of Obama themed betting opportunities.

    With an expected domestic TV audience in excess of 50-million, customers of Paddy Power can place bets on the duration of President Obama's speech, what "cliche" he will first mention during his address, the actual number of viewers that tune in and whether the TV audience will exceed that of Superbowl XLIII.

    Other Obama bets on offer from Paddy Power include which country (after Canada) Obama will first officially visit as President of the United States, his first year approval ratings and how many Oscar winners will mention Obama in their acceptance speech!

    Paddy Power famously paid out over EUR 1,000,000 on Barack Obama winning the 2008 Presidential race a full 10-days before polling day last year. Already President Obama is the bookmaker's odds-on 4-5 favourite to win in 2012 which gives him a 56% of success.

    Yeeeaaahhh ron paul!!!!!!!!
    I ignore the fact that RP's take back the GOP strategy is working. I ignore the fact that RP accomplished more from his 2008 GOP run than he ever has before. I ignore the fact that 3rd party candidates lose and are a joke to voters. I ignore all this b/c I have an arousing fantasy where RP runs 3rd party in 2012, magically polls at 15%, magically is allowed in the debates, and then magically wins the election. Trust me, it'll work this time.

    When Al Gore creates his climate-altering machine and bends everyone to his will, I believe these odds will change.

    I know...it's all a little ridiculous. But...hell, at least they acknowledged his existence.

    I think Huckabee could have a good run in 2012 if Obama doesn't make good on his promises (not that it benefits us).

    I think your right. With his own tv show on Fox now he can just become more and more well known. Then again, he may be happy to have his own tv show...I mean who wouldn't want to have their own tv show!

    Eh, I don't think so. I can't see many people liking him....not only that, those odds are greatly distorted. Does anyone in the country NOT think Sarah Palin is a complete and total moron?

    I'm tellin' you guys, odds for Ron in 2012 are great.

    I'm not a betting person, but if he announces a run and the odds stay 50/1, it would be a bet I'd be willing to put some money on.

    I'm guessing all Ron Paul has to do is announce he is running and his odds will shoot up to like 25/1

    I wish TW was here to throw some cynicism ya'lls way.

    Voting is pointless, someone like Ron Paul can't win, and the only "change" headed our way is for the worst.

    Who the heck is Jon Huntsman? And does anybody know the breakdown list this same group gave four years ago on Presidential odds?

    I don't know about this same group, but I know some professional odds makers had RP at about 200/1 to start with, and he peaked at about 50/1 shortly before the Iowa caucus. These aren't exact numbers, just the best I can remember.

    He was the only one on the list I didn't recognize. Huntsman is the republican governor of Utah.

    Did we not learning anything from RP's run last year? The game is rigged, and anyway, we should not be trying to vote in our masters even if they are Ron Paul. Voting is simply a suggestion box for slaves. The mainstream media controls popular thought. They are NEVER going to become libertarian as long as we have a federal government in charge. We need to realize that government brings us NOTHING and suggesting different masters every 4 years is a total waste of time if you are for total freedom. We simply must not comply with the BS. There is no use for a federal government nor will there ever be. We need to grow up as a society and get past the idea of mommy and daddy government.

    I am convinced that if we stop talking about silly crap and get serious, we can run a 4 year campaign and win. Ron Paul and someone very well liked as his VP. Peter Schiff perhaps, Steve Forbes maybe.

    I agree...which is why he should announce now, so we can start telling everyone about it NOW. And, forget Steve Forbes. If I recall correctly, he was originally a fan of some of the bailouts.

    And at RevolutionSD, I suppose you want to torch the Constitution then? Government has its proper role.

    we need to take over control of the GOP. next time there won't be guys like Sal from Michigan saying things like "RP should be excluded from all debates."

    like many here, i do not feel that good about having to associate heavily w/the current republican party - but laws limit libertarians (and Bob Barr was a schmuck) so i do it. i'll gladly continue to push for acceptance of our platform, and it should be easier as the current GOP rallies in opposition to Obama's Bush-like positions.

    I can't believe the odds are so high for Obama considering that the economy/recession will get much worse during his presidency according to RP and Schiff.

    Oh c'mon... Jeb Bush is 40/1. No way in hell.

    Why would Giuliani have better odds when he did far worse than Paul in the primaries?

  33. #29
    Lindsey Graham 40/1? What are these oddsmakers smoking? That video of him calling bigots whoever opposes his amnesty should ruin any chance he has.

    The constitution was torched a LONG time ago. Bush just put the finishing touches on it. And he's right, it's just a goddamn piece of paper. What makes you think we can turn government around? If you haven't noticed, they do what they want.

    Tell me how we're going to turn a coercive, violent organization into a benevolent one and I'm game for another election. Otherwise it's just a WOT to me.
