The gloves are off in the race for the Democratic Nomination for President and the two remaining candidates, Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton have accused each other if negative campaigning in last night’s TV debate. Political betting fans are aware of the crucial importance of the forthcoming primaries in Ohio and Texas and if Hilary loses in these two states, we may well see her withdrawal from the contest.

Barack has won the last eleven primaries and caucuses and. To the untrained eye, he may well seem to be on an unstoppable roll. Shrewd adherents of sports betting, however, will have spotted a new force emerging; the phenomenon of what has been called the ‘Baracklash’.

It is entirely predictable, these days that, once a new star has been created by the media, that same media will then begin a process of dragging down their hero. Suddenly the flaws in Barack’s character and experience are being noticed and a slip, albeit a small one, is emerging in his ratings.

Polls show that Barack will have a clear majority against John McCain when it comes to the presidential Election. This may well be pushing some democrats in his direction. However, public opinion is more complex than that and, should Hilary become the choice of the Democrats, the public will reassess their voting inclinations and she may well emerge as President when the dust settles.

Because of these polls and because Barack is the current front runner you can currently get from 7/2 to 9/2 on Hilary emerging as President. It might be time to take up a few of those free bets and place your faith in her.
