1. I'd be happy with any announced or probable candidate.

But my contentment does not reflect probability. Oddsmakers who after all only make money if their odds are roughly accurate are not known for getting results spectacularly wrong all that often, and Clinton is running at evens. Those loudly confident of Sanders' inevitable win should note he's currently at 33/1, an excellent opportunity to make money from the poor acumen of DLC DINO corporatist oligarch dynasty-ioving Blue Dog Republican-lite enabling lickspittles of the 0.00000000001% who are keeping his odds that long, if they have the courage of their convictions.

Incidentally earliest odds I can find for Obama, a bit later in 2007, were 7/2.
