The comment thread on that is possibly the most mind blowing/numbing thing ever. Every single post is anti-Obama.

I think I had Obama backed but Paddy Power is blocked by the firewall here in work in the US so I can't check till I get home.

I also had a punt on Gore/Obama (what the fuck was I thinking)

what odds would you have got for obama way back then?

I got the impression that McCain really was floundering at this debate and frequently seemed to be repeating memorised passages. Obama was very impressive, very calm and focused and in control of the issues, and managed to handle all of McCain's attacks with ease. He clearly believes he has it in the bag. I think this was over as soon as Obama beat Clinton - McCain couldn't possibly be anywhere near as tough as her, and of course Obama won over a lot of admirers just by beating her. Plus McCain has the shadow of GW Bush hanging over him. If Obama doesn't win now there's something very, very wrong with the US.

Whether he wins or not, there is.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama said he needed to correct some misconceptions about his background.
"I was not born in a manger. I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father, Jor-el, to save the Planet Earth," he said, in a reference to Superman.
He also listed his great strength as "my humility" and his greatest weakness as being "a little too awesome".

Paddy Power is going to regret paying out on those bets now.

Actually McCain was even funniy as well.

Obama has pretty good comic timing and a couple of the jokes were pretty close to the bone. He was slagging Gulliani for being a cross dresser.

There were a couple of jokes from Obama where I thought - fuuuuuck he'll never get away with that.

"If I had to name my greatest strength, I guess it would be my humility. Greatest weakness, it's possible that I'm a little too awesome. One other thing, I have never, not once, put lipstick on a pig or a pit bull or myself. Rudy Giuliani, that's one for you. I mean, who would have thought that a cross-dressing mayor from New York City would have a tough time running the Republican nomination? It's shocking. That was a tough primary you had there, John."
