Me too. I’m still trying to figure out why that happened today, but I suspect it’s closer scrutiny that happens to all the front runners. It finally caught up with Newt.
People have forgotten all the crap he’s pulled in the last 25 years. The attack ads are starting up and are reminding everyone. But I don’t think that would cause such a sudden change on intrade. I’m convinced intrade makes big moves based on people who have inside info and use that to their advantage when buying shares. If today’s move was based on some inside info, then it will become obvious tomorrow and the next 2-3 days because today’s sudden change will snowball...just like palin’s numbers dropped to zero 24 hours before she announced she was not going to run. I’d say there’s going to be a rash of important people endorsing candidates that aren’t newt...that is if this does snowball tomorrow.
