Thompson SC at Intrade up from 4 to 18 with likely Romney MI win.

Intrade ^ | January 15, 2008

[Plutarch]

There has been a lot of discussion here, whether Romney defeating McCain in Michigan helps Fred in South Carolina. Intrade provides the answer:

Romney MI today:

Thompson SC today:

Fredheads and Mittbots together singing Kumbaya.

[cmsgop]

RIGHT ON!

[razzle]

I sure hope they are Right.

[rintense]

I would be ok with a Thompson/Romney ticket. Fred can train Romney in the school of Reagan conservatism, then Romney can run in 2016.

[elizabetty]

Anything that hurts Huck and McCain is a Good Thing.

[normy]

Ditto.

[Petronski]

What you said!

[TN Conserative]

amen to that!!!!

[barryg]

Huckabee is now the favorite in South Carolina. I love his wisecracks . .

[perfect_rovian_storm]

I believe Romney’s actually only a couple years younger than Fred.

[Petronski]

Fred is 65, I believe Willard’s 60.

[commish]

This is exactly what we have been trying to tell everyone all week that have accused Fred of being McCain's stalking Horse.

Fred was counting on Romney to take care of McCain, then he will finish him in South Carolina.

Fred will now win SC - Romney will win Nevada, McCain and Huck will both be mortally wounded.

Florida will become a Fred-Mitt-Rudy battle and will set up a Mitt-rudy knockdown dragout in the northern and liberal-leaning western states and Cali, A Fred-Mitt faceoff in the Conservative-leaning western and midwest states, and a Fred sweep through the South.

[milwguy]

amen

[perfect_rovian_storm]

You’re right. I guess he could go for it in 2016, if the aging doesn’t catch up with him too quickly. I mean, his supporters are very hung up on that kind of thing, so he might not be able to make it otherwise...

[Accygirl]

Yep... because I’m so excited about the upcoming Hitlery presidency.

[Keith]

works for me...at least that final threesome is worth voting for...

[rintense]

Wow, he looks good for 60. I thought he was in his mid 50s.

[Names Ash Housewares]

“Anything that hurts Huck and McCain is a Good Thing.”

Agreed.

[WillRain]

Exact;y my thinking. Well said.

[writer33]

I would be ok with a Thompson/Romney ticket. Fred can train Romney in the school of Reagan conservatism, then Romney can run in 2016.

I'd agree. I would be ok with a Thompson/Romney ticket. I'd prefer Thompson/Hunter, but I could live with Romney, as long as he gets proper training.

[airborne]

I love his wisecracks . .

That's what I always look for in a CIC.

[commish]

Huckabee is now the favorite in South Carolina.

BWAHAhAhAHAHAHAhA -- pass over whatever you are drinking and smoking... every indication is that Huck is Cratering quickly in South Carolina. He has lost over 25% of his support in the rasmussen poll in 5 days.

Huck is out of money, has 2 consecutive also ran finishes in states he campaigned his butt off in, and he is being exposed as the fraud he is by Mitt and Fred all over the place.

Huck has joined the VAST PANTHEON of Iowa winners that never even made it past the first half of Primary season.

[milwguy]

Would be nice if it works out that way. I am just hoping the Huckabee supporters realize what an ass he is and come to their senses and support Fred. If Fred can pull off SC, then I agree Huckster is finito and Mc Cain will be close to done.

[exnavy]

GO FRED!!!

[Cicero]

Hope you’re right.

[Petronski]

That’s how you BECOME CiC.

[rintense]

Right. Huck makes the wise cracks but then cries like a girl when someone challenges his record. Huck is a whiney b!tch who, in the face of Islamic terror, would more than likely run to his mama.

[commish]

If Fred can pull off SC, then I agree Huckster is finito and Mc Cain will be close to done

South Carolina is where it all hinges. If Huck or McCain rebounds there, all bets are off.

South Carolina has picked the eventual Nominee every election and hopefully they will again!

[Matchett-PI]

bttt :)

[elizabetty]

Yep... because I’m so excited about the upcoming Hitlery presidency

Don't buy the media spin. Hillary is not at all well liked by MOST voters.

Any Republican other than Huckabee and McCain can beat her.

[elizabetty]

Huckabee is now the favorite in South Carolina. I love his wisecracks .

According to whom? He is tanking in the polls in South Carolina and after he garners less than a dozen percentage points in Michigan tonight he will tank faster.

The Huckster is squarely in Thompson's sites and he is going to continue to make an ass of himself as the pressure builds.

[airborne]

That’s how you BECOME CiC.

I've always preferred prior military service, but that's just me.

[airborne]

Nobody is “finito” until after ‘Super Tuesday’.

[Petronski]

Prior military service does not always get you elected. It IS about getting elected.

[chaos_5]

I was just thinking that my self!

I hope Mitt kicks McCain's political teeth in!

[Petronski]

Duncan Hunter is finito now.

[airborne]

Maybe, but I'm not planning to cut and run.

Since you feel this way, why not spend your valuable time attacking someone more worthy of your venom.

[festus]

Why is it some folks are convinced that the folks gambling on the election are somehow smarter than the rest of us ?

[dusttoyou]

barryg must be one of those Arkansas huckleberryhounds that ain’t real serious about this whole deal. I think Rush named it right on, huckleberryhounds are emotion voter.

FNC just called MI for Mitt, maybe mclame will have his “dean moment”. Huckleberry way back.

[airborne]

I’ve seen his posts before.

A newbie. A disruptor. Possibly a troll?

Regardless, not to be taken seriously.

Dude, with the Christian Democrat/Socialist/Fascist Huckabee looming over us, we are going to have to team up. That is an ugliness I cannot bear to envision...

[arjay]

There is nothing about Huck that I like, much less love.
He will be a disaster for America if he gets the nomination.

[gondramB]

A good day for Fred. And I haven't given up.
But one would not want to just blow one day and not loot at the overall trend.

[cantweall]

Well-reasoned position.

[Kevmo]

Thanks for posting this, Intrade threads are fascinating.

Why the smart money is on Duncan Hunter
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1926032/posts

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

I have no idea where people get this idea.

[Tramonto]

FIELD AKA Huckabee is leading the Intrade market for SC.

[TheThinker]

Of course Romney kicking Huck’s ass helps Fred. Huck begins to look vulnerable. Huck is a southerner and that can only translate to more votes for Fred in SC.

[Accygirl]

Actually, Romney cannot win a general election as he reminds to many people of Jaques Francois... Rich and out-of-touch with the average guy. As Huckabee said, he really does remind you of the guy that laid you off. He might go over well with some Kool-Aid drinkers in MI, but I don’t think that many indes. or moderate Republicans are going to buy what he’s selling. (In fact, I most definitely will never vote for him in an election.. If he was running against Obama, I’d vote Dem. and if he was running against Hitlery, I’d vote None of the Above).

I don’t think that Huckabee can really win either as he only appeals to a small seg. of the population. However, I do think that he’d make a quite fine VP and would do a good job balancing out Rudy or McCain both regionally and on issues. (Huckabee’s very good on the domestic side).

As for the top of the ticket, only Rudy or McCain could actually keep the race close. And since Rudy has alot of personal baggage, McCain is preferable. (As for Thompson, I’m not sure why he’s running.. Did he lose a bet or something?? Because he seems to be enjoying it as much as root canal surgery).
