Looks like it's going to be a long day tomorrow (Rasmussen Markets odds)...
Edited on Mon Feb-04-08 08:45 PM by HughMoran
I took a "snapshot" of the Rasmussen Markets Sat, Sun and Today (top to bottom.) From the attached screen shots below, you can see how those who would bet on the winner of each primary would set the odds of winning each primary contest to be held tomorrow.

According to Rasmussen:

"RasmussenMarkets.com is a “prediction market” or “futures market” that harnesses competitive passions in a way that becomes a reliable leading indicator of upcoming events."

Take it for what it's worth - I find it interesting, if not worrisome for Hillary supporters.

Summary for those who don't want to look at the charts:

Hillary was winning 13 states and losing 9 states 2 days ago, now she is winning 9 states and losing 13 states - that's a big swing in 2 days!

2. Why don't you look at intrade, where actual money is being bet on these races?
Hillary is favored to win the nomination 55% to 45%.

3. Rasmussen also has Hillary favored to win the nomination - it's hooked into Intrade BTW
Welcome to
Rasmussen Markets™!

So, we may be talking about the same thing.
