Mitt Romney's Odds to Win the GOP Nomination Increase

Submitted by Kevin Derby on March 7, 2012 - 9:11am

Mitt Romney did not exactly have the most impressive of nights on Super Tuesday-- but Europes largest oddsmaker thinks he did enough to further solidify his claim to be the favorite for the Republican presidential nomination. Irish bookmaker Paddy Power moved Romney from a 1-8 favorite to win the nomination to 1-10. The odds that Rick Santorum will end up with the nomination dropped from 6-1 to 10-1. Ron Paul remains a 25-1 underdog and Newt Gingrich is a 33-1 longshot.

Romney continues to edge in front of his rivals but is yet to land a knockout blow, said a spokesman for Paddy Power on Wednesday. Santorum certainly faces an uphill task if he is to win the nomination, but I wouldnt rule him out just yet.
