.......As Gingrich’s fate rises, so does Obama’s zot

In short, the markets think Obama is more likely to defeat Gingrich than Romney, so when the former speaker's fortunes elevate, so do the president's.
Over the last week, Gingrich's likelihood of winning the nomination has climbed from about 5 percent to about 30 percent. Currently, Gingrich is about 39 percent likely to defeat Obama if he makes it to the general election, while Romney is about 44 percent likely to reach the White House if he's the nominee.

Newt’s right shoe could beat Obama!

David M. Rothschild joined Yahoo! Research in the summer of 2011. He holds a B.A. in History and a Sc.B. in Engineering from Brown University, and a Ph.D. in Applied Economics (with a concentration in Business and Public Policy) from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, granted in May 2011. David’s primary body of work is on the gathering, analyzing, and aggregation of individual-level information into forecasts of both upcoming events and individual behavior. He has a secondary research agenda in studying the effect of government policy on the availability of goods and services.

The graph does not prove what its author (public policy wonk, aka Democrat) claims. It's a nice bit of prediction market economics and is subject to its participants as much as any other market demographic. And we all know how much we trust those with the disposable cash to skew a stock.

Ask TradeSports.

Welcome, troll.
The zero must be scared to send in such as yourself.
No need to ask my wife of so many years. She's been pulling for Newt for months and her political instincts have been proven time and time again.
He wasn't my first choice but he can beat the zero handily.

[HerrBlucher]

You are so full of crap. Women DID vote for Newt, more so than Mitt in SC.

[I_be_tc]

Yes, I will.

[rawcatslyentist]

At least Newt will go down swinging!

Not roll over and fetal surrender like Awful Dull, and Juan Mc Lame!

We need a scrapper. Not a milquetoast liberal calling himself a conservative!

[redhead]

Woman here... I’d vote for Newt in a heartbeat. WOOOOOT, Newt!!

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

Bingo! Tallguy.

I hope someone can answer this question for me:

If Romney cannot beat Newt-—why in the hell do these people think he can beat Obama.

That just doesn’t make sense.

Is Newt that anathema to Independents?

[JediJones]

Have the investors seen the latest Gallup poll? Both Newt and Romney poll 48 to 50 against Obama. Hope they don’t lose their shirts on this one...

Women simply won't vote for him.

Don't believe me?

Ask one.

I know plenty of women who will vote for Newt. My wife thinks he is the best candidate this cycle. Oh well, ZOTTED n00bie.

[Marcella]

That offender of women has been killed. I feel better, how about you, ladies?

[JediJones]

Well, you see, the GOP establishment is going to insist to the country in November that Romney is more ELECTABLE than Obama. That argument works every time.

[Kansas58]

Hey, genious, did you check the exit polls out of SC?

you do not know what you are talking about

[Marcella]

Killed another one - this one didn’t know the power of Kitty Killer FR women.

[STD]

My wife has been with Newt from day one. She’s working in the Cardiac Cath Lab when she’s not treating strokes, cranial bleeds and such. She’s been right on every candidate since her first vote in a Presidential election. After 30 years, I know she’s right!

[FlingWingFlyer]

It sounds to me like he is saying that women are stupid.

[Marcella]

“It sounds to me like he is saying that women are stupid.”

That’s why he is now DEAD! Mess with us FR women killer kitties and eat the lightning.

[FlingWingFlyer]

You got that right!
