So, I'm perusing the Bodog lines on who will be the official candidate for the Democratic party for U.S. President in 2008. There's a lot to talk about, but here was the thing that was most surprising.

There are odds up for Al Gore. The odds are posted at 5 to 1, which is actually better than John Edwards' odds at 8 to 1.

Al Gore's said over and over and over again that he's not running for office. I know that public opinion tide is that he'll enter at the last minute. Odds seem to suggest that even those in Vegas believe that he'll enter last minute, too. Those are great odds. Great odds. I may even place a small bet on that. $20 would win me $100 if he actually entered the race, and if he entered the race he'd be a sure fire candidate.

I'm just saying. I don't think he'd stab Hillary in the back like that, but then again, some people would argue that he stabbed Bill Clinton in the back during Al Gore's run for the White House previously. Who knows?
Here, if you're wondering, are the current lines of potential Democratic presidential candidates:
Hillary Clinton at 1 to 6
Barack Obama at 12 to 5
Al Gore at 5 to 1
John Edwards at 8 to 1
Dennis Kucinich at 20 to 1
Joseph Biden at 30 to 1
Chris Dodd at 40 to 1
Mike Gravel at 40 to 1
Bill Richardson at 40 to 1
Remainder of the Field at 50 to 1
