Election Markets update.....
Just shows what people think when forced to put their money where their mouth is:

This is what Clinton and Obama were trading at on Rasmussen's prediction markets on Feb 4th:

Clinton 61.2
Obama 39.0


This is what they are trading at now:

Obama 71.6
Clinton 27.7


When people are actually putting their hard-earned dollars at risk in betting on this race, there's been a dramatic sea change shift in just 14 days.

1. The general election concerns will drive superdelegates to Obama ...
the Democratic party will want to select its strongest general election candidate and that is by far Obama.

A lot of Hillary's superdelegates will vote for Obama when push comes to shove- wait and see.

2. Of course they will. They have seats to protect, they want to win the white house.
And the math is way in Obamas favor to win this thing.

That's why the Hill camp is coming up with all kinds of schemes to rewrite the rules, trying to do it on super delegates, and why that camp has gone so negative on Obama.

They are in total desperation mode.

3. Hence the silly "outrages" they come up with each week....
...first "the snub"... then "the cult"..... then "the plagiarize"


Each week they come up with another essentially meaningless faux "outrage". Who knows what it will be next week.


It's right out of the Rove playbook..... the Clintons have become what they used to despise (or at least pretend to despise).

4. Yep, they still haven't figured out that the more they faux outrage the more votes Obama gets.
It really does remind me of the Repos attempt to Impeach Clinton over lying about sex.

The same thing happened to the Repos as is now happening to the Clintons.

Each new bullshit desperate gotcha makes Obama more popular.
