The Gamblers' View

It's interesting checking out the bookmakers' take on the events. For weeks various bookies have had Obama as an easy winner. Paddypower.com even paid out on bets on Obama several days ago. Obama is still an easy favourite but clearly some money is coming in on McCain, perhaps influenced by early exit polling and Obama's margin of victory in the electoral college has dropped from 160 to 150.

I'd like to place a bet on how long it is going to take Washington state to count its (postal) votes...1 week?
On a more light-hearted note, I am heartened that King's Heath is key to election analysis and can hold its own against the allure of apparently august institutions of culture (Guiness) and state (embassies).
