Why bother reading up on the candidates, watching hours and hours of boring political coverage, or sit through long-winded debates between Barack Obama and John McCain? There’s a better way to figure out who should and could win the Presidential election.

Oddsmakers. There’s no one more qualified at picking winners then the people who do it for a living!! I even found a site where you can bet on the Presidential Election!! They even have constantly updated election odds depending on who’s more popular at the moment.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain laughed and then froze when asked about his position on insurance companies that cover Viagra but not birth control pills (watch the awkward exchange above.)

“I certainly do not want to discuss that issue,” McCain told L.A. Times reporter Maeve Reston on his campaign bus, the “Straight Talk Express,” in Portsmouth, Ohio on Wednesday.

Reston pointed out that McCain voted against a bill in 2003 that would have required health insurance companies to cover birth control pills. “Is that still your position?” she asked.

“I’ll look at my voting record on it, but I have… I don’t recall the vote right now,” McCain said. “But I’ll be glad to look at it and get back to you as to why, I don’t.”

When further pressed by Reston about the issue, McCain said, “I don’t know enough about it to give you an informed answer because I don’t recall the vote, I’ve cast thousands of votes in the Senate.”

Campaign spokesman Brian Rogers later said McCain will open insurance markets “for greater variety and competition allowing women to choose policies that fit their needs,” the Associated Press reported. “An example is the choice for women to dump a policy that only covers Viagra for a policy that covers their real needs.”

The hip-hop star met the Republican presidential candidate last month on the set of “Saturday Night Live,” where Jeezy performed his verse from Usher’s hit, “Love in This Club.” During the show’s closing credits, McCain was seen embracing the rapper. “No disrespect to my man Barack, but I [bleeped] with John McCain. He greeted me like a god,” Jeezy, who has endorsed Barack Obama, tells Vibe magazine. “The fact that he acknowledged me was crazy. I said, ‘I’m Young Jeezy, and it’s rough out here.’ He blew me off at first. I was like, ‘Nah, for real. It’s rough out here, so what you gonna do to change it?’ . . . And he gave me a look back, like, ‘I know.’ ”

Momlogic.com spoke with Cliff Schechter this morning about the explosive claims revealed in his new book, “The Real McCain,” that Senator John McCain called his wife the c-word. “First of all, I wouldn’t have put this in my book if I wasn’t 100% confident that it was true,” the author said. “I heard this story from multiple sources, and little details matched up exactly when I talked to more than one person. And McCain has never denied the story directly, and I would bet you any amount of money that he never will.”

In response to Schechter’s claims, John McCain aide Tucker Boundes told Momlogic.com, “This is tabloid trash. It has no basis in fact. It calls into question the journalists that report on this.”

Republican presidential hopeful John McCain is the first candidate to confirm he’ll attend the Puerto Rican Day Parade, organizers told The Post’s Sandra Guzman. The Arizona senator beat out New Yorkers Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani, who still haven’t RSVP’d. “I’m sure they’ll be calling soon to let us know that they are coming,” says organizer Carlos Velázquez. Also expected on Sunday, June 10, for the giant parade will be Puerto Rican superstar Ricky Martin, who will have his own float, as well as The Post, which will have a float featuring reggaeton superstars Wisin and Yandel.
