Hillary Surging on Betting Lines...

From MyDD diarist markjay

A couple of weeks ago, Obama pulled within a few points of Hillary on Intrade and the Iowa Electronic Markets. At the time, George (georgep) predicted Hillary would be back up by 10 or more points on them shortly. Obama supporters predicted that Obama would hang in close to Hillary.

Well, Hillary didn't pull ahead as fast as George predicted, but she is now up by somewhere between 12 and 16 on Intrade and 15.4 on the Iowa Electronic Market .

Of course a lot can change in the coming months, but together with recent polls in South Carolina, Florida, and elsewhere, Hillary is looking stronger and stronger.

Obama still ahead in SC, but probably not for long given Hillary's surge in the polls there...we'll see how that changes in the next couple days...

1. Yawn. Kerry Was 20% Behind Dean.

And that was closer to the primaries.

Given Mrs. Clinton's name recognition, I think she should be much farther ahead right now if she wants a coronation.

2. Let's have a couple of primaries. nt
