Online casinos and sports books are speculating right now with odds at 1-6 that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove will not be dismissed or resign due to an ongoing criminal investigation regarding the possible release of a CIA undercover agent's name to a magazine reporter a couple of years ago. Mr. Rove's job security has been questioned at online casinos ever since allegations were made that he leaked the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame to the media as part of a campaign to discredit her husband, an outspoken critic of the invasion of Iraq and the ongoing hostilities there.

Originally, President George W. Bush had said he would fire anyone from his administration found to have been the source of the leak. However, in a flip-flop which many speak of as a double standard, President Bush has - since the revelation that Karl Rove was the source - said he would only dismiss an administration official who had engaged in criminal activity. If it is found that Rove indeed leaked the name and did so knowing that an undercover agent's identity would be blown it would be he had broken federal laws and subject to jail time. There are other factors, though, that make even the good case against Mr. Rove a difficult stimulus to bet against him in online casinos.

Bettors at online casinos the world over are well aware of Mr. Bush's dependence on Mr. Rove, who is considered a political dynamo and the Bush election campaign's "savior". It is because of this dependence on Mr. Rove that online bettors in online casinos are currently betting heavily that Karl Rove will not be dismissed or succumb to pressure to resign. However, Democrats are calling for Mr. Rove's head amidst the recent jailing of a newspaper reporter who refused to reveal a source to federal authorities, and the wagering in online casinos could quickly turn from symbolic "support" for Mr. Rove to stay in his job into an online betting frenzy in online casinos over how soon he will be gone.
