US General Election Betting Odds: Republicans
March 20th, 2008 at 10:30 by Stuart Heritage
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
Next week: the return of Eurovision betting odds! Probably! But if that's too long to wait - or you feel like making more money than you know what to do with - head right over to the Paddy Power general election betting odds page to see the latest, and best, betting odds.

All the obama supporters are defending him staying at the church, ALL the black ministers are defending Wrights preaching, that simply tells ALL Americans they also support his feelings of anti- America and white hatred that the church preaches. No one says Obama cant attend the church for 20 years, or raise his daughters to be racist like his wife, what we ARE SAYING is that HE CANNOT REPRESENT ALL OF AMERCIA AS U.S. PRESIDENT! Rev Wright was and most likely still is a paid advisor on Obamas campaign??? Obama and David Axelrod insisted that Obama be the black candidate early in SC when they tried to spin it on Bill Clinton, it worked for the biased tabloid media like CNN cronies, since then, we ALL have come to realize Obama has problems with the truth and we learned this week for sure where his faith and true beliefs are, its obvious THERES ABSOLUTLY NO CHANGE WITH OBAMA, HE WILL DRAG U.S. BACK TO THE 60′S RACIAL DIVIDE at a time our country needs to unite. He cannot do that, no matter how many black news casts tell you he can
OBAMA STANDS BEHIND SPIRITAL ADVISOR WRIGHT!
“Wright is like an uncle you love and respect” As imperfect as he may be, he has been family to me for so many years, I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community, said Obama. The man who believes and preaches the U.S. government formulated the HIV AIDS virus to commit genocide against blacks also preaches “We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye on 9/11. This is the same man Obama had as advisor on his Presidential staff until this week. Rather than break ties with his demagogic, anti-American pastor, Obama used a speech on the non-back race to excuse his behavior and sweep the controversy under the rug. Passing the buck. Obama supposedly condemning Wright’s shocking verbal assaults against the U.S and White Americans, but April last year; Obama was the first and quickest to demand Imus’ ouster for making a racially insensitive remarks. His opinions and issues change with the weather, he is too UNSTABLE and proven he cannot make a decision or stay with one. Next we have ALL corrupt campaign financers, business and personal friends as indicted Rezko, former Dallas Mayor Hill, Rep. Rick Renzi and Mr. Auchi, leading supplier of arms to Saddam’s regime convicted for corruption in France, the same British-Iraqi billionaire lent millions and millions of dollars to Obama all coming out of the woodwork. ALL this from the half black ex-Muslim who touts change and claims to be a uniter of all people? Proof he is just another in-experienced Washington politician that the media has like CNN has given a free pass at the great risk of our great country! There will soon be allot more video of Rev Wright and Obama coming, all this has proven without doubt if he is the nominee the democrat voters he cannot win the general election, just the black vote will not do it. Its time for Obama to leave this race and take his not so proud of America racist wife, spiritual advisor and anti white church with him..

WTF??????

I refuse to read something that long when it’s obvious the author conducted less fact checking than your average hecklerspray writer.
March 20th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
And that’s saying something!
March 20th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Not talking about you, Stuart. You’re an exceptional hecklerspray writer.
I’m talking about that Sorrenti. Asshole doesn’t even bother to sober up first.
March 20th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
I know I've checked my facts well over a dozen times - twice this month alone!
March 20th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Generally, I check my facts when I check my coat
leaving them in the Edward Hopper hands of someone
bored and lovely.
Mind you, that’s Edward, not Dennis.
Different hands entirely.

Sleep Apnea is a very real sleeping disorder which impacts the lives of millions of people around the world nightly. The largest social network for people effectively treating Sleep Apnea is CPAPtalk.com. If you don’t believe its real, go read some of the stories posted there.

We will Johnny - in the morning after we’ve had a good night’s rest.
March 20th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
I’ve had my facts checked once. Terrible procedure. Won’t do it again. My insurance doesn’t cover it.
March 20th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Wait Johnny, are you suggesting that….hecklerspray might need to check its facts?????
March 20th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
I kept forgetting to check my facts, so I went out and bought a facts machine.

I dress mine in black, give them clove cigarettes
and call them artifacts.

Evidently Stu’s “made up” facts go along with his “made up” belief that he is a decent writer. Stay in college Stuart…you haven’t found your calling yet!

I don’t think ‘cpap’ talk is appropriate. Save that for the gynecologist, thank you very much.

i import mine from the kuiper belt and call them factoids
