McCain Presidential Odds
From
Gambling911.com: Arizona Senator
John McCain was originally the
favorite Republican to become the
next US President with 6 to 5 odds
at a time when Hillary Clinton was
still favored by 4 to 5
Category: Politics -
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).
John McCain's popularity among Gambling911.com
readers appears to be growing in light of news that
he would be one of only a handful of Republican
candidates to take part in a CNN/YouTube Republican
debate now likely to be pushed back from September
to some time in November. With new strategists
behind the McCain campaign, the potential is there
for improvement. McCain did not stand out in
the most recent Republican debate, however.
His stance on the Iraq
war, which follows closely with that of President
Bush, and his position on immigration reform are
believed to have had a negative affect on his
campaign in recent months. But again, his odds
remain in the high single digits as of August 9,
2007.
McCain is known to frequent the casinos of Vegas, so
he is hardly opposed to gambling. While not
opposed to online gambling per se, McCain has raised
legitimate concerns over betting on college sports
and the potential for corruption in these games.
The Senator sponsored a bill to ban Vegas betting on
collegiate games, though eventually this proposed
measure was shot down and Mr. McCain failed to
pursue it any further. McCain's fellow Senator
in Arizona is Republican Jon Kyl, the author of
online gambling prohibition and an opponent of the
industry since 1998. Some key figures in the
online gambling industry are known to be supporters
of McCain's bid for Presidency.
