Obama will lose - oddsmaker

I hope this is true. We can only hope for a little change come november[Luck]

I don't think Mr. Oddsmaker has done his research on the socio/political makeup of the United States.

I think he might be wrong, but then a few months ago I would have been positive he was wrong, so maybe he is on to something.

we can only hope

but you know what they say.... hope in one hand and shit in the other...

Those getting stuff outnumber those paying for stuff. This is why we were not created as a democracy but a republic. e are now, courtesy of the legal profession and free handouts, well and truly forked

this is a good point. the "dependent individualism" culture is huge now in this country. so a large segment of our country may keep voting for the candidate that will extend and expand entitlements to keep lining their own lazy ass pockets.

i actually agree with the OP. there is no way i see obama getting elected again now. i dont see him adding many new voters to his backers.
