...time: despite yesterday's disappointing jobs report, President Obama is still
crushing Mitt Romney on
Intrade. (The map looks good for the Democrats.) And Rob Portman, below, is pulling away in the Veepstakes.
Don't trust Intrade? Fair enough. After all, in the recent SCOTUS decision, the Irish betting Web site was
colossally wrong about the individual mandate. On the day before the news, the odds were almost
eighty percent that the mandate would be struck down.
But I maintain that Intrade was actually
right, because the question on everyone's mind was, "How will Anthony Kennedy vote?" And the famous swing justice sided with the minority. Intrade was only wrong because no one -- and I mean
no one -- anticipated that John Roberts would be the deciding vote.
