Probabilities

In an interview on a St. Louis radio station, McCain said Obama's comments that "I didn't have the guts" to talk about William Ayers in the last presidential debate have "probably ensured" that the former 1960s radical will come up in Wednesday's debate.

In an interview on Fox News, Sen. Hillary Clinton says the odds of her taking a seat on the Supreme Court are "zero" adding, "I have no interest in doing that." She also says odds of her being Senate Majority Leader are "probably zero," and running for president are "probably close to zero."
