2016 Republican Presidential Nomination Odds

Current gambling odds for over 30 potential Replican Presidential candidates in 2016. Would you take David Petreus at 50/1?
 
I t’s far too early for Vegas to release any official gambling odds, but that won’t stop us from attempting to handicap the 2016 election.  Next to each of the candidates below we have listed the current odds on what we believe their chances are to win 2016 Republican presidential nomination.  Obviously, if there is a Republican victory in 2012 all bets are off.  Feel free to debate the odds we have listed or let us know which candidate you would bet on in the comments section.

Martin O’Malley

Born in 1963, Martin O’Malley was raised in Bethesda and Rockville, Maryland.  He attended a Jesuit high school and went on to study at a Catholic University of America.  At a young age he is said to have developed a passions for history, Irish culture and music.  While in college he got his first taste of politics when he signed on to the Gary Hart President Campaign.  Looking back at his time working in the campaign, O’Malley reflected, “Hart turned me on to the fact that one person can make a difference.”  Martin O’Malley went on to study law at the University of Maryland School of Law in Baltimore, earning his J.D. in 1988.  That same year he began dating his current wife, Catherine Curran, the daughter of the State’s Attorney General.

Possible Democratic Candidates for the 2016 Election

the New York Times provided some analysis of possible 2016 Democratic candidates.  Here is a list of the five types of possible candidates and some of the names that were mentioned in the article:

Bobby Jindal for President in 2016?

Our next presidential election in the United States will be in 2012, as we all know. President Obama will, obviously, be the candidate for the Democrats. And we know some of the Republican candidates lining up to run against him.

But looking ahead four years after that, to the 2016 presidential election, the list of names becomes more about political speculation. Still, there are some people even now that are generally agreed to be front runners.
