McCain wants ten debates before the democratic convention. He's just foaming at the mouth to eat Obama for lunch.

Then I guess Obama will immediately accept McCain's invitation for these debates.

I cant wait. Its going to be incredible political theater. Obama's gonna be sucking his thumb while McCain is in his face lecturing him on foreign policy.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will beat Republican John McCain in the November U.S. presidential election, prediction market traders were betting on Wednesday.

Traders on the Dublin-based Intrade prediction market gave Obama a 61 percent chance of winning the November 4 election, versus a 35 percent chance for McCain. Traders on the Iowa Electronic Markets gave the Democrat an almost 62 percent chance of winning, versus a 39 percent chance for the Republican.

Prediction exchanges let traders buy and sell contracts on the likelihood of future events. Contracts are usually structured so prices can be read as a percentage chance of an event occurring. Studies of prediction markets have shown they have an accuracy comparable to that of public opinion polls.

Traders were less certain about the vice presidential running mate for either candidate. Around midday on Wednesday, Obama's chief Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, was seen as having a 22 percent chance of being his pick.

Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia, a former Navy secretary, was given an 19 percent chance of being Obama's choice, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson had a 6 percent chance and former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner a 5.5 percent chance.

On the Republican side, traders gave former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney a 20 percent chance of being McCain's running mate. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty had a 16 percent chance and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee a 12 percent chance.

Stick a fork in him, at a 35% chance McCains toast & the GOP is done because Bush, Cheney & Karl don't give a flying fuck about you, me or what happens to the Republican party. They made the $$ for the people who asked them to make it, now can walk away because their "mission accomplish" leaving nothing but fools behind. I saw this morning Bush's approval rating is 25%. This is worse than Jimmy Carter at his alltime low which was during the hostage crisis!!

Dublin speculators don't mean shit. Polls mean nothing, and if you want an overdose of polls, head on over to cnn.com or msnbc.com and look at not only the polls showing McCain beating Obama, but also the polls showing how many Hillary voters are already leaning towards McCain(23%).

Obama is in serious trouble. I'm not believing his hype machine. He's toast, and he's crispy critters the moment he walks into those town hall meetings with McCain.

Why all the Bush talk? I thought this campaign was about "change"?

One other thing...

McCain picking Huckabee could be a serious blow to his campaign. We'd have Jim Jones as a VP....
