But for all this, does the Senate manage to get turned over to other than Harry Reid’s control?

Or is that jack-Mormon going to continue to be the dog in the manger that prevents any substantial improvement in the now dismal economic and spiritual state of this country?

If this country once again embraces the foolish notion that the “wealthy” can be taxed sufficiently to significantly reverse the national decline, then its future as a single nation is very much in jeopardy. There are definite fracture lines already, and it will not take much to just pull the pin.

It would be like the 9/11 collapse of the World Trade Center extended over much of the nation. Going to be an awful lot of smoke and dust, and ENORMOUS collateral damage.

The people betting on intrade are mostly Europeans. I believe that putting money there is illegal in most states.

I like the theory of Intrade. However, it can easily be, and likely is, gamed.

Obama supporters are very aware of Intrade, and are likely dumping $1000’s and $1000’s of dollars in to help perpetuate the myth that he is “leading”. This is cheap for their campaign, similar to buying ad spots. Intrade must be loving it.

Intrade also said the mandate was going to be struck down.
