It's a big day tomorrow for all the presidential candidates-- Super Tuesday, when a slew of states will he holding their primaries. Some pundits are saying tomorrow is when we'll see the real candidates come through. The fields have whittled down, so the contest is tight.

Bodog has the rundown on the odds of the candidates to win the majority of the primaries for both parties tomorrow:

Democrats: Hillary Clinton is at -130 and Barack Obama is at -110, so looking at the odds, Hillary has a slight edge, but Obama's close.

Republicans: John McCain is at 1/22, Mitt Romney is at 2/1, Mike Huckabee is at 25/1, and Ron Paul is at 60/1. It's clear from the odds that McCain has the advantage here (so much so that you wouldn't be making much money if you bet on him).

Isn't this country great? You can vote and bet on the president. Awesome.

After the Dems' debate earlier this week-- and seeing the back-and-forth of Hillary and Barack-- it'll be interesting to see how tomorrow's primary in South Carolina goes. McCain won there last weekend, which helped to boost his overall election odds on the Republican side.

betUS has the numbers on who's left, now that Kucinich is out as of today, and the odds are... weird. Hillary's at +900, Barack is at -2000, and John Edwards is at +2500, so in all actuality, even though Barack has the minus odds, it's such a huge number, and Hillary's odds, even for being on the plus side, are pretty big. In that sense, it's almost a toss-up, with or without the punditry. One thing is for sure, though: John Edwards is saying he's in it for the long haul, but his odds are indicating that that might not be the most prudent idea.

(I just said prudent... man, that is so 1992.)
