Remember Cali said Obama would "sweep to the democratic nomination."

If economy dominated, it would be surprising if Romney lost.

There are a lot of people with lingering doubts about Romney's geuineness.
However I just had a long-lost high school friend contact me, and he is one of those devout Christian guys, and lives in the midwest, and says he likes Romney. So if he is capturing the interest of guys like that, it bodes well for him. |

Should have said they couldn't hardly win the division.

Romney may end up losing, but it's not like Intrade is a perfect predictor.

It really wasn't meant to be degree smack. I was trying to be funny. I clearly failed. UofC in my discipline is the home of the "efficient market hypothesis." Anyone who has a PhD in Finance from UofC usually views the efficient market hypothesis the way we might view the book of Mormon; its the keystone of our religion. I am duty bound to hold the betting market and all other financial markets in such high regard. I was trying to poke fun at myself and how seriously I take signals from the market. You are right that I should have not said anything or found a way to say it without mentioning the degree. I am sorry that it come off so poorly.
