This makes me sad. He's (IMO) the best qualified candidate out there.

I agree. I can't believe that "other" has better odds than him.

Oh pulease, there weren't even any odds on Kuchinich, the far and away best candidate to my way of enlightened thinking.

He, along with people like Dodd, Ford, and Hunter are going off at 1000 to 1 against winning their own parties nomination.....I imagine that would mean that their odds are about 2000 to 1 against winning the general.

If you're feeling good about his chances put down $10.00.....you never know

innerSpaceman · 11-05-2007, 04:26 PM

Oh, he has zero chance in the United States. Further proof of him being the most enlightened candidate.

Alex · 11-05-2007, 04:29 PM

Tom Tancredo also has zero chance. They are equally enlightened.
