JMHO, but here's my take on the "value" here ...
John Kerry +235
No value here, he's (not that I dislike it) too "New England", absolutely no use to the south ... which he will need. The only thing he has going for him is that he is the only candidate with war experience (2 Nam tours).

John Edwards +300
Great Value here ... forget the others - Edwards is in a 4 man race (Gephardt, Kerry, Edwards, Lieberman) .. he's more than a 3:1 out of this group ... he doesn't have the experience, but he has a silver tounge and boudless charisma.

Howard Dean +600
Flushing you money ... too sided on the war issue to gain the support he'll need ... should have been more "political" about his stance.

Al Sharpton +15000
You'd be better served spending that money on power-ball tickets and its (40-some% return).
No chance.

Richard Gephardt +500
The unions love this man, he's got initiative, but he's boooooring as hell. My personal favorite, but he doesn't have the personality to win.

Joe Lieberman +325
Decent value here. He would be the front-runner except that many Americans are afraid to elect a Jewish president ... perhaps that will change over the next year as Lieberman is a great politician.

Dennis Kucinich +6700
See Rev. Al.

Carol Moseley-Braun +10000
See Rev. Al.

Bob Graham +4000
People like him, but the early speculation is that he's really running for VP .. probably right on there. Coupled with an unexperienced John Edwards .. his experience combined with Edwars charm might be the Dems best hope in a Hilary-free campaign. No value ... I don't think he even wants to win.

The 3rd Reich failed miserably son.

Its moved on to the 4th Reich now, the christian purity model.

Jon Kerry is pro world bank and a skull and bones member. Same profile as the last 3 presidents. I had him at 6-1 last yr. Women think he is better looking than lieberman, I think he is a lock. May even be president

lander · May 13, 2003

6-1 is a steal ..

my main concern is that i keep hearing that he "doesn't represent the south" ... whatever that means?

do you think this (along with the 911 influence for Bush) is too big a hill for Kerry??

FunkSoulBrother · May 13, 2003

Edwards won't be picked. Honestly, the safest bet is probably

Kerry +235
Lieberman +325

for a scalp. Yes, its a scalp at political prop limits, but that is the only bet I would make.

John Kerry +180
John Edwards +300
Howard Dean +600
Al Sharpton +15000
Richard Gephardt +600
Joe Lieberman +320
Dennis Kucinich +8000
Carol Moseley-Braun +10000
Bob Graham +2500

Rail, your 6-1 grab on Kerry is looking better. Pinnacle just raised him to +180

Kerry -55
Edwards +0
Dean +0
Rev Al +0
Lieberman -5
Kucinich +1300
Braun +0
Graham -1500

If Pinny is as sharp with the Dem Nomitation as they are with everything else it appears that Kerry is the big winner early on, and Graham is inching towards contention.

I got Dean at 25-1 in February...reading those kooks over at democraticunderground.com told me he was the choice of the wacked out left. Gephardt will squeak by in Iowa thanks to the unions. Dean's victory in New Hampshire will knock out Kerry, give him momentum going into South Carolina. The new face (Dean) will beat Edwards in Carolina dumping Edwards from the race. Gephardt wins Missouri, Lieberman takes Arizona and New Mexico, making it a 3 man race for the nomination. Michigan should settle it, and knowing their history of picking the darkhorse I'm going with Dean.

It will be Dean/Bill Richardson on the ticket to get crushed by Bush/Cheney.

Best of luck on your bet Shotgun, I'm going to a Dean meeting tommorow in a conservative small town, and we already have 35 people signed up. I know you think I'm a leftist wacko, but whatever

If the democrats have the balls to pick Dean I'll be campaigning hardcore in 04.

The best thing about Howard Dean ...

"Amongst my first actions will be to repeal the PATRIOT ACT" - Dean 2003

Railbird · Jun 3, 2003

Maybe Al Gore will change his mind

Mr.Smith · Jun 9, 2003

did howard dean actually say he would repeal the " patriot act" - spit spit spit

just calling it the patriot act is repulsive. dean is an absolute whacko. but i'll consider voting for the nutball just ought of spite if he really said that.

the "nutball' or "patriot" act as its known is ****inc insane.
