2010 and 2012 prediction

  1. When did I say Republicans were not in danger? They are without a doubt in more danger.

    When did I say there would be a strong third party liberal candidate?

    You and your assumptions.

    All I am saying is that the possible scenarios of Obama losing reelection have increased because of his policies thus far. Do I think the odds of him winning are still in his favor? Of course. Do I think conservatives have the ability of royally screwing up 2012? Of course.

    If Republicans nominate a somewhat moderate Republican and conservatives are politically smart enough to forget about a third party candidate then Obama will have some problems. Not as many disappointed liberals will be motivated to vote against a moderate Republican and a larger portion of independents will vote for a moderate Republican. This scenario isn't probable, but it is possible.

  2. My prediction is that Obama will win the presidential election comfortably. However, I doubt we will see the 10-1 odds that made him such an attractive intrade bet back in the day.

    Ideally, Obama gets the mid-term blues, driving him down to maybe 25% on intrade. And to be honest he's a good bet anywhere below about 35%.
