2008 Democratic Nominations - the running odds...
I check this Tradesports.com site pretty much every day. They claim to have accurately predicted 50 out of 50 states for the 2004 election, plus the district of Columbia. They've certainly done better than Gallup Poll folk. Anyway, here's the odds that the site members predict for the 2008 Democratic presidential nominations (fyi - see for yourself at http://www.tradesports.com):

Hillary Clinton 43.5%
Mark Warner 11%
Evan Bayh 8.9%
John Edwards 6.5%
John Kerry 3.8%
Al Gore 6%
Bill Richardson 6.8%
Joe Biden 9.8%
Jon Corzine 2.3%
Phil Breseden 1.7%
Howard Dean 1.6%
Tom Vilsack 2.7%
Ed Rendell 4.7%
Barack Obama 2.4%
Wesley Clark 4.4%
Russ Feingold 2%
Colin Powell 0.4%
Pat Leahey 0.4%
Chris Dodd 0.3%
Harold Ford 0.4%
Joseph Leberman 0.4%
Brian Schweitzer 0.4%
Mike Easley 3.3%

These are the people actually putting their money where their
mouths (and opinions) are. Stay tuned ~ it changes daily...

God that's scary. I hate Hilary so much I just can't describe it. People like her should not be granted the privilege of living.
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.

I agree Tadpole.

She would be much worse than Bush, that is for damn sure.
Godbless, Tadpole.

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.

I agree with her thoughts on medical care.

I don't she just wants socialized healthcare, a system that has proven to be flawed and a failure all around the world. Why would we want to bring it here? Don't get me wrong we definately need a new system, but not one that has already proven to be a failure, and of lower quality than what we have.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I don't believe she was going for a plan that exactly mimicked a socialist system. It certainly borrowed ideas from it.
