Forget the pundits and prognosticators. If you really want to find out what’s around the corner, just turn to the bookies. After all, there's real money on the line.
And, because luck is the Irish way, who better to turn to for political predictions than Irish bookmaking outfit Paddy Power? Following Friday’s announcement by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin that she will soon step down from her position, Paddy Power says there is a good chance that we haven’t seen the last of the former GOP vice presidential nominee: The firm is quoting short odds of 2-to-5 that Palin will seek the presidency in 2012. But beat Barack Obama? Fat chance, it says: Odds are just 10-to-1 of that happening.
