One thing prediction markets are better at their only bias is whether someone can make money trading the futures contracts.

Fred has lost ~30 points at Intrade over the last few weeks, looks like its stabilizing at ~6%.

I love Hunter, but I absolutely will not attack Thompson. He is our next best conservative candidate next to Hunter. If Hunter fails, then Thompson is perhaps our only hope of getting a conservative nominee.
Hunter - then Thompson, but attacking Thompson only gives headway to the RINOs. I will never do anything to give Rudy McRomney more traction and denigrating Fred does just that.
BTTT
Thanks for the flag. Getting rough around here, indeed.
I still don’t get it. Hunter is a walking encyclopedia on the border and on trade, he has a long track record of conservative policies, and he never pauses or needs to look at notes when he talks. Yet we keep hearing that “unelectable” bullclinton.
Hunter’s biggest obstacle is the fact that his trade policies for China and his stance on illegals threaten some of the big money in the GOP that depends on the slave labor from both of these sectors.
