Histories Shortest Presidential Campaign (no Poker content)

Saw this under Media Notes in Washington Post Online (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/linkset/2005/04/11/LI2005041100587.html)

Obama initially brushed it off, "but later in the day, with Mr. Biden coming under fire from some black leaders, Mr. Obama issued a statement that approached a condemnation. 'I didn't take Senator Biden's comments personally, but obviously they were historically inaccurate,' he said. 'African-American presidential candidates like Jesse Jackson, Shirley Chisholm, Carol Moseley Braun and Al Sharpton gave a voice to many important issues through their campaigns, and no one would call them inarticulate.' "

One day after Senator Biden announces he is running for President his campaign is nuked by one polite soundbit from Senator Obama. Where can I bet Presidential futures (legally of course)?
