Almost warm enough to sit out on the deck and eat lunch, but not quite. Not even when the wind dies down. Weather prognostication tells me that it will in fact be springtime warm by the end of the week. All I can say is, it’s about time.

Every now and then I return to Paddypower to look at the election odds. U.S. elections aren’t the only ones the Irish bookies care about, of course. Irish and British politics are betworthy as well, such as the odds on the vote in the UK in June to leave the EU. It’s predicted to be close: 45% to 50% voting to leave, which isn’t enough, 9/4. 50% to 55% voting to leave, which is, 9/4.

As for the U.S. presidential elections, Hillary Clinton’s still the favorite at 2/5, a gain for her compared with January. Donald Trump, at 6/1, has seen a considerable slip. Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders both are 11/1, a slip for Sanders and no change for Cruz.

Vice presidential nominees now have odds. On the Republican side, John Kasich is the favorite to be tapped for the job, at 11/4, with Chris Christie (4/1), Nikki Haley (5/1) and Marco Rubio (8/1) coming next. On the Democratic side, Julian Castro is the favorite at 5/2, with Tim Kaine (junior Senator from Virginia) at 5/1, Elizabeth Warren at 7/1 and Martin O’Malley at 9/1.

The real oddity is a bet called “Trump’s Manhood.” According to the bookies, that “applies to the size of Donald Trump’s manhood when ‘standing to attention.’ Bets will be void if it is not revealed by end of 2016. PP Decision Final.” They must have had fun thinking that up. I refuse to quote the odds.
