The Odds on the 2012 Presidential Election: Romney, Palin, Gingrich, Jindal and More

November 9, 2008 RSS Feed Print

It's never too early for Intrade to start putting odds on the next presidential election. For the GOP nomination: 1) Mitt Romney 24.5 percent, 2) Mike Huckabee 11.1 percent, 3) Sarah Palin 10.5 percent, 4) Newt Gingrich 8.9 percent (thanks Bob Novak). No wagers have yet been placed on Bobby Jindal and David Petraeus, but volume overall is pretty light. Plenty of time to get in early. Interestingly, the GOP nominee is given a 40 percent chance of being the next president.

I believe Jesse Ventura should be added to this list. From what i've seen and done, he would out speak most of these candidates. To further back up my evidence, there was a survey which stated that 88% of americans believed Ventura should run when he was only expecting around 60%.

As of February 2010, the three most reliable polls show the majority of Americans, did want and do want a change, but not the change we have had so far. Obama has not and probably will not live up to the expectations that many Americans had for him, and that he promised to deliver. He is like a dog that chases a car, now that he has cought the Presidency , he does not know what to do with it. The majority of his appointments have been a fiasco,making fools of themselves and Obama by stupid statements that they have made. The President has spent a year on health care, the American people want action on the ecconomy, not health care. The President seems not to care what the majority of Americans want and need but to follow his own agenda at whatever cost to the country. If the Republicans run a strong candidate , not McCain or Palin, then Obama will be a one term president.
