66-1 on Arnold? I'll give 66,000,000,000,000,000,000 to 1 for anyone who wants it. Of course, anyone dumb enough to bet something that is impossible deserves to have their money taken.

Isn't there a constitutional law excluding a foreign born individual from being president?????
That would include Arnold and I believe Obama?

[GameTheory]

Obama was born in Hawaii -- quite likely he'll be a candidate one day.

Arnold can't run it is true, but the odds are legitimate because many think they will try to change that rule so that Arnold can run (for instance, they could change it so you must be US citizen for 20 years or something). They have a slim chance of getting some bipartisan support because Granholm here in Michigan is Canadian and it could allow her to run as well...

I don't expect either party to try for this change.

I make Rice 8/5....bring on the lesser Clinton!

[BetHorses!]

I would hold everything on Hillary, just think she can't win. I make Rudy the favorite and I know he's going for it.

My prediction here is Cheney steps aside down the road and Bush picks Rudy as VP which puts him in the drivers seat.


The foreign born law will never be changed

How 'bout this ticket: Rice and Linda Chavez?

A ticket like this would really manifest the Dems' utter hypocrisy when it comes to minorities and women. It would be fun to watch the Libs self-destruct over this kind of ticket.
