1. Mike Gravel at 50-1, Kucinich at 200-1

What gives?

2. Someone put money down on Gravel

Gambling odds are set by the money bet on each person, not by someone's idea of who will or won't win.

4. I agree. People are looking for reasons to vote against her.

When they find acceptable alternatives, her support will drop so fast your head will spin.

5. I'm LOVING Edwards at 7-2

I seriously love Sportsbook's political exotics. It combines my two loves, politics and gambling.

Plus, I feel like I have a nice inside track on the betting ;) (THANK YOU for the even money Sheldon Whitehouse action, it's getting me through this jobless winter!)
