Americans are so far inside this year’s presidential elections, it probably wouldn’t hurt to take a step back.
So let’s cross the Atlantic for a minute, and see what the English bookmakers are thinking:
Here are today’s odds for ultimately winning the November election from Ladbrokes:
Barack Obama 11-8 Mitt Romney 2-1 Ron Paul 16-1 Newt Gingrich 16-1 Rick Santorum 33-1 Hillary Clinton 40-1 Rick Perry 40-1 Jon Huntsman 40-1 Michele Bachmann 100-1 Gary Johnson 200-1
And at William Hill:
Barack Obama 5-4 Mitt Romney 6-4 Ron Paul 16-1 Newt Gingrich 16-1 Jon Huntsman 40-1 Rick Santorum 50-1 Rick Perry 66-1 Michele Bachmann 80-1
