PP has Jim 8/11, HH 3/1 and connolly 7/1.

I had few quid on MMG @9/2

Paddy Power should be taking bets on Conor McGregor for this.

A fool and their money.

Yes

I can't see how he is favourite tbh. We know absolutely nothing about him and his main ambition on launch was tea parties.

I'd take HH on those odds. She'd get an older vote, and they will actually vote, many of those blathering on social media about Connolly will not actually vote. She'd get a predominance of transfers from females and country folk if Connolly came third, even from people who are not FG, because of course this should not be a verdict on FG.
Gavin could certainly provide public service, I just do not see him as President, whereas Robinson and McAleese provide a sort of template for HH.

And in these days with talk of "Border polls" an Ulster Scot in the Áras might be a good idea.

I can't understand why Jim Galvin wants this.. a ceremonial role shaking hands and attending functions at 54 years of age. He comes across as someone with much more vitality and energy than that. Albeit Michael D made a few political statements it was mostly hosting guests and attending events. Could live with Jim as President the best.. without the FF ticket but why does he want that?

He got talked into it to keep Bertie out. FF are footing the bill. Why not?

He comes across as a man who would want bigger challenges in life than that... Ego too.. though Brolly says he has no ego!

Compared to Joe that is...

Jim Gavin comes across as a very capable candidate, smart lad who will put everything into it, but doesn't seem to have the charisma to carry it off for me.

[Rossfan]

21 (yes twenty one) prospective candidates want to address Longford Co Co while Westmeath told Mc*****r hes not welcome

[Captain Scarlet]

Jim Gavin the first President to fly at the Bray Air Show?! I'm calling it now.
Ya never know he might be great craic when he gets into the Áras...

Is it all a ploy to get him away from tinkering with the football rules any more 

[From the Bunker]

Jim ''Mr Exciting'' Galvin it is.
