Kansas City, Mo. ? There are odds for getting struck by lightning.

There are odds for being killed by a terrorist, for a royal flush, for being in car accidents.

So how come the Vegas bookies have set no odds on Sam Brownback’s 2008 White House chances?

At the online betting service SportingbetUSA.com, odds have been placed on all kinds of potential Republican contenders. Rudy Giuliani? 10:1. Arizona maverick John McCain is slightly better at 6:1, edging out George Allen, Virginia senator, at 7:1.

Even California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger – Austrian-born and thus ineligible – gets 250:1.

But Brownback, the Kansas senator with the hot line to the religious right, the anti-abortion champion and global human rights advocate who’s already made several forays into Iowa?

Not even listed.

OK, his fundraising is low; his polls have slipped from 2 percent to less than 1 percent over the last year, but he’s got to be better presidential material than Jesse Ventura or Al Sharpton (both 1,000:1).

Even leftie filmmaker Michael Moore gets 7,500:1. Who would even make such a bet, anyway? A high roller fresh from Mongolia?

Surely Brownback deserves some odds?

“He’s a billion to one,” said Danny Sheridan, the USA Today oddsmaker, who also doesn’t list Brownback. “I wouldn’t spend any time looking at him.”

“The sports gambling industry hasn’t been a big fan of Senator Brownback ever since he introduced a bill to ban gambling on college athletics,” sniffed spokesman Brian Hart. “If the senator decides to run, I wouldn’t bet against him.”

On the Democratic side, SportingbetUSA.com gives Bill Clinton 300-to-1 odds – and he’s barred constitutionally from running again.

His wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, is listed at 3:1, the best odds of any of the 64 names listed.
