Odds are McCain wins in November

From Predictions 2008 , here with many thanks:

Watch out for coming polls and odds, or even better: Tonight Las Vegas bookmakers still give you odds of 3.00 on a Republican presidential election win - that's so much more value than the stupid 1.33 odds on Obama's ticket; have a bet if you may! Because we have just seen a mind- and gamechanger where Governor Sarah Palin was clearly on message all way long, was articulate, effective, real, sincere and authentic, humorful, generous and most entertaining, while obviously even Joe Biden couldn't help it but find her likeable.

American politics found a new and intelligent superstar with great skills in communications, who took on a very experienced six-term senator, was confident, assertive, well prepared and surely having fun, who was merciless against Barack Obama's arrogant, naive and dangerous policies and who came up tonight with a much better performance than John McCain himself has shown us until now. Congrats and thanks to Sarah Palin for that brillant debate.  (more)

I agree with Chuck Muth's review of the VP debate last night:

I thought Palin struck gold three times in the debate.  1.)  Suggesting that if you like how the federal government has handled the financial crisis, you’ll love Obama-Biden’s proposed government-run health care system.  2.)  Noting that Obama’s insistence on setting a definite timeline for U.S. withdrawal from Iraq amounted to a “white flag of surrender.”  3.)  Hammering home the old-fashioned notion that people need to take more personal responsibility for their own actions.

On the other hand, I thought she was off base hitting the “greedy” Wall Street predators so hard without reminding everyone that it was Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton’s liberal “affordable housing” government policies which were actually the “original sins” of the current mortgage meltdown.  And enough with the “maverick” crud already, OK?  (Chuck Muth)
