Here are your 2008 Presidential candidates with the shortest odds (i.e. the favorites to win based on oddsmakers assessments):

Hillary Clinton Presidential Odds - On August 9, 2007, the former First Lady and current New York State Senator, Hillary Rodham Clinton, enjoyed 2 to 1 odds of becoming the next US President.  She remained the favorite to win the 2008 US Presidential Election, with odds just slightly better than Rudy Giuliani 3 to 1.  Hillary Clinton's reception among Gambling911.com readers and the Internet public in general has been average to above average during the initial portions of the campaign.

Barack Obama enjoyed Presidential odds of 7 to 2 which roughly would translate into a $350 payout for every $100 bet.  These odds are only a half a point less than that of Republican candidate Rudy Giuliani (3-1).  Obama at one point enjoyed slightly better odds, however, he has remained steady throughout the past few months.  He still maintained a hefty lead over all Democrats accept Senators Hillary Clinton and John Edwards (who trailed only a bit)Al Gore also had short odds though he has not officially made any declarations to run.

Senator John McCain  Just as the news continues to unfold regarding turnover in John McCain's campaign organization, his Presidential odds have been negatively affected as well.  McCain still has better Presidential odds than all but Rudy Giuliani (3 to 1 odds) and yet to be announced candidate Fred Thompson (4 to 1 odds).

Ron Paul In a nutshell, popularity for 2008 Presidential candidate Ron Paul is massive.  In fact, articles on Dr. Paul featured at Gambling911.com now rank among the most read.  Nearly 10,000 views were registered for Ron Paul-related articles on a single day, August 8.  Gambling911.com pieces are frequently picked up by dozens of websites across the Net that focus on Ron Paul's campaign.  With this type of popularity, it should come as no surprise that Sportsbook.com would reduce Ron Paul's odds from 200 to 1 to 8 to 1 in just a three month period.  Six months ago, Dr. Paul was not on Sportsbook.com's Presidential Odds menu.
