Hillary, Mittens Lead Big Vegas Polls
Friday, January 18th, 2008
In a new Las Vegas Review-Journal poll, The Clintons lead Barry 41% to 32%, even though the Mexican dishwashers union likes Barry. John Edwards, who had been in a statistical tie with the two viable candidates, now only polls at 14%. (That’s what he gets for cheating on his wife, I suppose.) Among Republicans, Mittens leads McCain 34% to 19%, blah blah yeah. But Rudy, who had topped the previous R-J poll, now polls in sixth place. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]

Crazy Vegas/European gamblerholics have been following the polls and Wonkette’s trenchant commentary closely to set odds for our next president. Some dude from Bloomberg News has aggregated the bookies’ thoughts, and he’s got Hillary at 3 to 1. It’s the first time Hillary’s faced 3 to 1 since that wild first year of marriage with Bill. 
The Demrats are back to debate each other, again, saying nothing, doing nothing, ugh. Why are these things two hours? And since this is from Vegas, how many trite segues involving Hold ‘Em will there be? These are some of the questions everyone stupid enough to watch this debate is asking. That, and how many attacks will not be directed at Hillary. They should all attack someone random, like Dodd. Attack Dodd all night! That would be amazing. 
Maybe Jim Gibbons has a future doing magic tricks at one of those big Vegas showrooms.
