Asian Handicap
Asian handicap or disability is a value assigned to a team / player at the expense of others. Let's say we have a match between two teams, X and Y and X team is weaker than Y, and bringing it on par would be a handicap of two goals (ie, if X starts the game with two goals at the end of the match the two teams would be tied Ermine village). This eliminates the opportunity to bet on a draw. If team X has the handicap of two and the match ends in a 1 goal difference in favor of Y, then X team won. If Y fails to beat a difference of two goals, then the bet is returned (bet there is no winner or loser)
Number of goals (over / under, total number of goals as the half with most goals, odd / even)

How on earth could a black man, of coloured race, a boy, could even be considered as a leader of the free world yet alone the representative of the American People. Well it's because.......he has a brain....an I.Q.of around 180. Whereas George's I.Q. is around room temperature. Whereas MCaine whats his name around 125 before flying into the arms of the Viet Cong. Wereas Sarah has above average I.Q. but her brain belongs to God. As they say the good guys may go to heaven but the rsoles rule the world. But I am baracking for Obama to win because I want to be on the money!

The Iowa Electronic Markets are narrowing too. If you do your own Real Clear Politics electoral college mapping, it's a toss-up. Obamamania seems to be running out of steam.

Obama wants change, that is , the change in your pockets.

I do see Mccain gaining on Obama in the media, but i can not help but notice how hungry the country is for change, the democrat primaries doubled and tripled the voter turnout of the republicans, Obama can draw massive crowds of supporters and is loved over the whole world. Can Fox, corporate america and mccain crush that? Even if they instill fear in the rural whites, i cant imagine that being enough to win.

What is wrong with Americans that they can't see the play acting of Ogama, who has done nothing that says he can run the U.S.A. An owner of a Mom and Pop grocery story would be better equipped
