Not even Hurricane Gustav or the possible hurricane, Hurricane Hanna can stop the mud slinging and innuendo between supporters of Barack Obama and John McCain.

According to the updated political betting odds, Barack Obama is now a 2-1 favorite to be next President of the United States. Intrade gives him a 59.9 percent chance. But now politicos are asking if the latest bombshell, that 17-year-old daughter of Republican Vice Presidential candidate, Bristol Palin is pregnant.

Already earlier in the day, an email smear campaign of “Sarah Palin is trailer trash” had commenced, even before Gustav hit the Gulf Coast.

While tennis fans were betting heavily on Rafael Nadal to defeat Sam Querrey, Cy McCormick reports that some sharp bettors are betting on John McCain as the big underdog at sundry sportsbooks.

Most political observers agree that the pregnancy of Palin’s daughter will have little affect on the race, though pro-unborn rights activists are sure to rally around Bristol’s decision.

Also, should the far left mudslingers like Keith Olbermann, DailyKos.com, or Arianna Huffington use Bristol Palin’s pregnancy as a weapon, the undecided would likely rally around Palin.
