Political Betting Props

BetUS Sportsbook online betting customers who like to bet on political goings-on might be interested to know that in a recent Gallup survey, 11% of people who identified themselves as Republicans said that they would vote for the Democratic or third-party candidate if John McCain does not choose a vice-presidential running mate who is more conservative than he is. Nine percent more said that they would just sit the election out.

This leaves McCain with an interesting dilemma, because at the same time, he has to pick someone who is not too offensive to independents, undecideds and potential crossover votes, since, with all the infighting on the Democratic side, there will be a lot of votes up for grabs.

McCain also has to achieve a certain balance on other fronts, based on the way he has framed his own candidacy.
