Sportsbook.com offers updated odds on Karl Rove’s future in the Bush
Administration after final grand jury testimonyWASHINGTON, D.C., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ – With Karl Rove’s future as White
House Deputy Chief of Staff in serious doubt, Sportsbook.com is the only
online sportsbook to offer updated odds on the long-running scandal that
continues to plague the Bush Administration. Current odds are 1-2 that Rove
will have to leave the White House in the wake of an ongoing criminal
investigation, and 3-2 that he will not.Speculation on Rove’s job security intensified when the indispensable
Bush adviser was called to testify yesterday for the fourth time before a
federal grand jury. At issue is whether Rove knowingly leaked the identity
of a covert CIA operative to reporters in an effort to discredit an
outspoken critic of the administration’s war in Iraq. According to
investigation insiders, prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is also trying to
determine whether Rove lied after the fact to conceal his involvement in the
leak.The significant shift from the opening odds of 1-6 that Rove would not be
dismissed or resign is a reflection of the grand jury’s increased focus on
Rove and of the growing consensus that he will not emerge unscathed. Recent
testimony from jailed New York Times reporter Judith Miller may have given
the grand jury reason to doubt previous statements made by Rove regarding
the leak.Even if Rove is not indicted, many political observers feel the president
may nevertheless be forced to sac his top adviser to preserve the
administration’s credibility. Since updated odds were posted yesterday,
betting trends indicate that Americans are leaning towards the view that
Rove will leave the White House.“Everyone loves to bet, but not everyone bets on sports. So it’s
important for us to provide Americans with the opportunity to wager on other
hot button items like politics and entertainment,” says Alex Czajkowski,
