What do you think the odds are…

…that key GOP figures will exploit the death of Ronald Reagan for all it’s worth in order to seal the election. I’m looking ahead to the GOP National convention and am suggesting the following odds:

A minute of silence will be called for: 1-1.

Chances that Bush will mention Reagan one minute into his speech: 5-1.

Two minutes into his speech: 3-2.

Three minutes into his speech: 3-1.

That a key speaker will exhort his comrades to win this election “for the Gipper”: 1-1.

That it will be stated Reagan would have approved of this country’s direction: 2-1.

That if Reagan were there, he would be urging you to vote for Bush: 1-1.
