Next US President Betting

Who Will be the Next President of the United States?

Currently, the battle is heating up between five major Presidential candidates representing both the Republican and Democratic political parties – the main contenders are Hilary Clinton and Barrack Obama for the Democrats, and Mitt Romney, John McCain and Mike Huckabee for the Republican Party. The race has been consistently uncertain for all candidates as so far neither Party has come right out to favour any of those individuals whose names have been thrown in the hat.

So far most of the controversy has fallen to the Democrats, and their wavering support for both Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama. Both of these candidates represent minority groups (for women and African-Americans, respectively), and given the traditional outlook of the Democratic Party in promoting minority groups, it is almost crippling to the Party to have to choose between two major players at once. Hillary Clinton is already famous simply as the wife of the most recent Democratic President, Bill; despite what has been an incredible amount of gossip and heresay surrounding her husband and her own political career, Hillary is determined to become not only the next Democratic President but the first woman President in America. Support for Clinton is perhaps one of the most consistent of the Presidential race.

Barrack Obama is hoping to become the first African-American Presidential candidate, and because of the Senator’s strong, traditional Democratic and liberal standpoint he has garnered much support throughout the more liberal States in the country. He is particularly favoured with younger voters and college students, as well as African-American voters and associated religious leaders. Recently his campaign team has quibbled with Clinton’s over who is more sympathetic to black voters – something that really is nothing more than a time-waster when you consider which Party both candidates are representing.

The Republican Party candidates are by no means as blatantly controversial as the Democrats, however Party voters are equally torn between several contenders and have shown no clear leader as of yet.

Mike Huckabee is the former Governor of Arkansas, and has made several appearances on the comedy show The Colbert Report. His appearance on this show has seen him gain strength in a voting base that is traditionally very liberal-oriented, and it seems that Huckabee’s centre-right beliefs are more persuasive to on-edge voters than either the all out right-wing ideologies of other Republican candidates or the fully liberal views of Obama or Green Party candidate Ralph Nader.

Senator John McCain has also seen a lot of support, particularly from traditional Republican voters but also from a few of those perennial uncertain voters. McCain is unwavering in his support of the War in Iraq and against terrorism; he is also labeled a fiscal conservative; something that many Americans can relate to in these recent years of economic downturn.

The final serious contender for American President is Mitt Romney. Romney’s political positions have changed several times in the past years of his career, most notably on abortion. The Republican was noted to have attended Pro-Choice fundraisers and to believe in the right of the woman to choose the outcome of her pregnancy; he has since stated that this viewpoint was a mistake and that he is now pro-life. This contender has prided himself in the ability to learn from experience, and says that his voters can rely on him to fulfill campaign promises.

Following the constantly dwindling support in the current Republican President, the eyes of the world have focused most clearly on Barrack and Clinton, wondering if it’s again time for a Democratic streak in the White House.
