The public relations folks who represent the odds maker bmaker.ag sent me a note saying the odds that Donald Trump would run for president are 65-48 that he won’t run. I don’t think he will run, never did, I think it was a stunt to promote his TV “reality show.” And if he were serious, that his birther crusade sent him to the bottom of the pack and his TV show went to No. 4 of the four major networks probably changed his mind. Trump was no surprise. So I asked them if Tony Harvey and his team of experienced oddsmakers could give me where the smart money is on Gov. Christie. No, problem, they said. When they got back to me they said the odds now that Christie won’t run are about 67-45. That’s close to the Trump numbers. I’m terrible at math so I can explain how it works but I can see right now the odds guys say he won’t go for the Oval Office.
