Intrade still has Obama ahead. Pick your seer.
But for all this, does the Senate manage to get turned over to other than Harry Reid’s control?
Or is that jack-Mormon going to continue to be the dog in the manger that prevents any substantial improvement in the now dismal economic and spiritual state of this country?
If this country once again embraces the foolish notion that the “wealthy” can be taxed sufficiently to significantly reverse the national decline, then its future as a single nation is very much in jeopardy. There are definite fracture lines already, and it will not take much to just pull the pin.
It would be like the 9/11 collapse of the World Trade Center extended over much of the nation. Going to be an awful lot of smoke and dust, and ENORMOUS collateral damage.
One can only hope — but have they taken into account all the dead and illegal votes that will be cast for Obama?
Does it have Obama ahead inn MO or not?
Colorado Algorithm Predicts a Romney Triumph
My subconscious tells me it’s going to be a romp for Romney, even if we all have to hold our nose when we vote.
In Boulder, had he not said something nice about Obama the next bones thrown might have been his own.
Any prediction or poll at this time is meaningless. Sorry.
Regardless of how many cores or Al Gore-ithms...
Looks kinda' inconsistent with the views expressed in numerous threads yesterday that the TEAParty will be better off WITHOUT the Socons holding them back.
Hmmm ~ does the algorithm deal with that sort of thing? Like, give up 40% of the vote which is Conservative so you can get rid of the RINOs?
If anyone saw Hannitys Fox News show last night you will be very encouraged about WHAT IS NOT BEING SAID in this election cycle. Hannity highlighted a documentary The Hope The Change that is also coming out in theatres (and they are close to securing a major tv deal) where they show all the hype and excitement of the Obama 2008 campaign.
It includes extensive interviews of registered independents and democrats who voted for Obama and discuss why they will not be voting for Obama in 2012. Many of the statements made included that they simply got caught up in the hype.
The people betting on intrade are mostly Europeans. I believe that putting money there is illegal in most states.

saw that last night and wanted to reach out and slap some of those silly people for NOT doing the research and going along so much by EMOTION.
This just seems to be how Stupid Sheep America operates. Just flash something shiny in front of them and they follow like a bunch of blind morons.
Colorado Algorithm Predicts a Romney Triumph....if we have an election in Nov. 2012.
Europeans or not, they stand to lose money if they are wrong. I don’t believe even Europeans are so far gone they dont respect money.

I like the theory of Intrade. However, it can easily be, and likely is, gamed.
Obama supporters are very aware of Intrade, and are likely dumping $1000’s and $1000’s of dollars in to help perpetuate the myth that he is “leading”. This is cheap for their campaign, similar to buying ad spots. Intrade must be loving it.
Technically this model hasn’t predicted anything, since it was made after 2008. It retroactively matches the elections, just like global warming models are always tweaked to “predict” past data.
Intrade also said the mandate was going to be struck down.
I'm thinking likewise. It's reminiscent of the Carter/Reagan election where Reagan trailed a recession/depression plagued president only to win in a landslide.
Bettors have an infinitely greater amount of information to judge the direction of an election than the outcome of a SC case.
I’ve seen that on Intrade and IEM—what’s it called, “pump and dump”? Jack the price of the stock up and dump at the last minute.
