Sarah Palin just 12-1 to win the next US Presidential election
By Derek McGovern 13/04/2011

THEY say anyone can become President of the United States. That's the risk you take living there - or anywhere else when trigger-happy George Bush was in power.

It's hard to believe a country could vote actor Ronald Reagan to be their President. Acting is hardly the core skill needed to run the country, it is merely the art of keeping a large number of people from coughing. They say Reagan had a great sense of humour - so did the American electorate.

If you worried about the likes of Reagan and Bush as Presidents, your fears will Palin to insignificance when you discover Hills make Sarah Palin just 12-1 to win the next US Presidential election.

It's enough to make you enquire how much Richard Branson is charging for space travel. Palin was John McCain's surprise running mate in 2008. Nobody thought McCain could still run.

Another shock contender for the White House is Donald Trump. Trump is one of three men associated with the catchphrase 'You're fired'. The other two are Alan Sugar and Ashley Cole. Trump has released his birth certificate. It lists his eyes as 'blue' and his hair as 'ridiculous'.

Next election (Hills): 8-13 B Obama; 8-1 M Romney; 12-1 S Palin.
