Dumbya sinking fast on TradeSports
TradeSports is a site that keeps track of betting odds for many different events, in addition to sports.

Wanna see what the odds are of bin Laden being caught prior to the election? It's there. Or Dick Cheney getting dumped from the ticket? There.

So... what are Dumbya's odds of winning the election this fall?

Sinking fast. Very fast.

3. "Are those dates?"--Yes.
The 1st 2 are in Jan & Jul 2003, the 2d are in Jan & Jul 04. If you go to the site it's a little clearer because the specify that the "contract" began in Jan 03.

6. Any Tradesport contracts out on this one...
Will W have a "nervous breakdown" before the election and totally blow his cool in some very public venue making a complete ass of himself in view of the whole world.

I'd say the odds are pretty good, actually.
