Want to make money in Vegas? Bet on Kerry in 2008.

(* Odds are Hillary won't be the nominee first of all. Second, how many millions of people wish they had voted for Kerry instead of Bush now? And the smearvets lies cannot be factor again. A single-use slime weapon. At 41-1 odds I may just put down some dough.)

Odds Favor Clinton. Odds that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) will win the White House in 2008 have improved greatly — at least in the underworld of online betting. At the Web-based sports book, SportsInteraction.com, Clinton’s odds of occupying the White House in 2008 have improved to 5-1, Mary Ann Akers reports in Roll Call Wednesday.

“The way we see it, battered Democrats will gladly take five-to-one odds,” says SportsInteraction.com spokesman Anthony Munnelly. “Conservatives may hope for a million-to-one, but when you’re making a bet, one has to deal with reality.”

The ’08 presidential contest has already become a big draw for online gamblers. While Clinton has 5-1 odds, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) follows with 7-1 odds of winning the presidency in 2008, ahead of former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.), who fetched 9-1 odds. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson is fourth with13-1 odds, followed by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) with 15-1 odds. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) is last on the SportsInteraction.com Web site, with 41-1 odds of winning the White House in 2008.
