9/24 Now its 71 If you need a smile look at the curve.


Intrade continues to go to in favor of the President by big margins.


9/11 President 60 Romney 40



http://www.intrade.com/v4/home/



Keeps going up

Now Obama 60.2 Romney 32.6


In one week the President's spread has gone up 6 points.

Also whereever there has been a Republican primary the President's chances for winning the state has improved significantly.

Romney can say good bye to his 'home state' Hew Hampshire;

Thanks for the link. It's really interesting.

So, who do you think Romney would pick for VP? I can't decide. But I think Newt might pick Santorum since he could bring a battleground state to the table. And he might bring in some Catholics and fundies.

So, Romney would have to go to the South for a VP. I can't see Newt on Romney's ticket. Perry was too glaringly stupid. So, out of the candidates I'm thinking Ron Paul might have a shot. But what about that woman governor? Haley? Could Romney overcome his LDS upbringing and choose a woman?

I think that it will go to a draft at the convention.

VPs could be either Daniels or McDonnel

Have the repubs done a brokered convention before? They're so good at falling in line behind their candidate.
