Polls are coming out daily and after months of an Obama edge, we&#8217;ve now seen the momentum shift to the side of John &#8220;Big Tuna&#8221; McCain, who thinks that if he&#8217;s going to cook the food then he should be able to buy the groceries, or something.</p> <p>Anyways, in uncertain times like these I look to the rock of financial stability, the bookies. While McCain might have a slight edge in the polls, he still does not with the dudes who set football spreads. He has closed the gap however. A few weeks back I checked out my trusty <a href="http://sportsbetting.com/">sportsbetting.com</a> and the money was still reasonably with Obama, at 1-2, with McNuggets at 3-2.</p> <p>But just now I checked again and not surprisingly the gap has closed. Obama has slipped to 2-3 and McNasty has closed to 11-10. So Vegas has spoken and Obama is <em>still</em> the favorite! (Though not really).</p> <p>Also, in no way do I endorse gambling ones fortune on sporting events, but consider putting your 401k on the San Fransisco 49ers this week at (-4) against the Detroit Lions. This is a lock because no NFL team (aside from the Rams, Chiefs, Raiders and Dolphins), playing at home, should be favored by less than 10 points against the Lions.</p> <p><em>photo credit: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/whiskeytango/1697496186/">flickr</a></em></p> <p>Post from: <a href="http://www.sirened.com">Sirened</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.sirened.com/2008/09/vegas-still-favors-obamabarely/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>If Only Barack Obama was White</title> <link>http://www.sirened.com/2008/07/if-only-barack-obama-was-white/</link> <comments>http://www.sirened.com/2008/07/if-only-barack-obama-was-white/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:31:05 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[2008 Elections]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Barack Obama]]></category> <category><![CDATA[John McCain]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Presidential Race]]></category> <category><![CDATA[YouTube]]></category> <category><![CDATA[George BuCain]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Polls]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sirened]]></category> <category><![CDATA[US in Shambles]]></category> <category><![CDATA[White Obama]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.sirened.com/if-only-barack-obama-was-white</guid> <description><![CDATA[ Yesterday was just another day in John McCain&#8217;s train wreck journey toward the White House.
