Obama hopefully, but like TirAlb said before most likely McCain is going to win.

I know this is not the topic for this but since we are talking about U.S presidency, anyone seen Keith Olbermann on msnbc couple nights ago? This is one of the best speaches ever seen about bush. This guy is great.

I bet on John McCain.
I think that America is still not prepared to have a black President.

If you guys think McCain is going to win you should throw some money on him. Obama is by far favourite right now.

Nice speach. Damn straight! Many people in this country feel the same way including me. I can't see McCain taking the presidency. He really is out there. I saw him the other day making some comments and I couldn't believe how insignificant they were. He must also think the American people are idiots.

Make some money then. Obama is odds on. $1.79AU at www.betfair.com

McCain has no chance in hell. I can't believe he hasnt in any way distanced himself from Bush's presidency, especially in terms of foreign policy. It was afterall the worst presidency of all time for American interests.

Treasurer knocks Obama down in game of hoops

May 7, 2008Recommend (7)

INDIANAPOLIS -- Barack Obama continued his Election Day tradition of playing basketball -- only to get battered when he was accidentally knocked to the ground by Alexi Giannoulias, the Illinois state treasurer.

David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist, also played in the pickup game. Axelrod said Giannoulias' shoulder hit Obama in the chest as Giannoulias, who played pro basketball in Greece, was driving to the basket.

Giannoulias "bashed the ribs of the next president of the United States," Axelrod said. Obama "was knocked down."

Obama was bruised, but Axelrod said he didn't see a doctor.

Because it's more likely to suit Greece's foreign policy interests.

I wish BUsh and Olberman would both go away.
