Intrade contracts on this are intriguing.
They had been in my opinion too low, (in retrospect they were right) before Palin opted out of running.
Today Palin futures are climbing. Ticked up again just since my previous post.
What’s interesting though, is now there’s a new Palin contract:
Contract name: PALIN.RUN.PRES.DEC11
“Sarah Palin to formally announce a run for President before midnight ET on 31 Dec 2011”
That contract is climbing even faster. Up 30% today.
The thinking is among Palin supporters that the Bushtard Establishment is killing the potential opponents to Romney.
They want Romney to win because they know that that guarantees an Obama victory and Jeb Bush in 2016.
Palin could do this with a Winter Campaign, figuring that Conservatives hate Romney and that the guy has a glass jaw.
Best,
Chris
