I really want that orange-skinned freak from Ohio to have to expalin that to the American people in November.
That price doesn't translate to the implied probability of Obama winning like the intrade one does. If it did, you could arbitrage the two and make a guaranteed profit.
We already been through that, and see how well that worked, which was kind of the point of my post. He got a bump and now has fallen back. The GOP is obviously well aware of how this played out also, so I wouldn't count on this being a new and improved BO that will be steadily rising in opinion.
Are you kidding? You don't need much, if its risk free you can collect as much as you like as long as it lasts.
Mine is that Intrade is the best unbiased estimate of Obama being elected right now, better than polls and better than rolling averages of recent polls.
He has nothing to lose by fighting back against the whackadoodles any more. No major initiatives are going to get past freaks like Ryan, Canter and Agent Orange, and those fools are setting themselves up for a major sorting-out if they refuse to extend the tax holiday unless their ownersw get an even bigger pile of goodies.
Poll averages show BO increasing over Romney from around 12/6 to 12/21 where it then leveled off. Now dropping back down.
Fighting or compromising hasn't helped BO in the opinion polls as we have seen.leftysergeant said:
And it was a temporary bounce.
Right, it won't do him any good, likewise fighting them only helped temporarily. The guys overall track record is not inspiring to the public, hence is lousy approval ratings. Making like a tough guy can't change 3 years of failure in the eye of the public. Further, the GOP is not likely to want to do anything during the next 12 months that might end up giving him a bounce in the polls, even if temporarily.
Acting like shrieking brats having a tantrum in the toy aisle seems to me a good way for the republicons to prove to the country that it is their fault, rather than Obama's that the problems were not fixed.
