There might already be a deluge of print and television analysis on who’ll win this year’s US general election.

But, we ask you, is there any election analysis from British websites that usually only spend their time writing puerile jokes about celebrity crap that nobody could ever possibly give a stuff about? No, no there isn’t. But now that hecklerspray is doing US general election betting odds, there is. And we can all sleep soundly at night because us that. Unless we’ve got sleep apnea or any other made-up illnesses.

Yesterday we looked at the Democrats, so today it’s only fair that we look at the general election betting odds for the Republicans, with help from Paddy Power…

Republicans – While the Democratic candidates are busy tearing strips of flesh off one another in public, old John McCain has got it easy. He’s already the Republican candidate for president, so he can kick back and spent the next few months fundraising and softening America up uncontested. It’s a win-win, except for the fact that the majority of his own party can’t stand him and that he’s so old that a sudden loud noise might finish him off for good. John McCain is a Vietnam POW which, ultimately, makes him Rambo. And Rambo always wins everything, even though he’s a bit clueless, heavy-handed and you don’t really understand what he says when he talks fast. But, although John McCain and the Republicans look as if they’re home and dry, they’ll still have to defend themselves against the Democrats’ constant inspiring war-cry of ‘change’. We’re not sure what sort of change John McCain actually stands for, apart from the three-hourly change of his man-nappy, of course. Current General Election betting odds – 6/4
