HOLY MOLY! Newt and silver are both dropping like boat anchors!

Posted on 12/14/2011 9:43:53 AM PST by mamelukesabre

Check the price of silver today, and the price of Newt shares on intrade. Newt started falling yesterday and still is. Anyone got ideas as to why silver is collapsing? Or Newt?

Great story! Thanks.

I trust Rick, but was mortified by his early team and complained, both here and to the campaign. It was like watching Ned with his first reader! There for a long while it was all pals and no sharks on board, though he had the money to have hired the best.

I thought to myself, this looks like a replay of the Palin fiasco— all noise and no seriousness, no metal, or infrastructure in the team, enough to meet the challenge of a national stage. Rick dwarfed Palin in heavy experience, in the scope of challenges he faced, in a huge state with a huge population on an international border. His JOBS achievement stands alone and he has already proven he can meet the needs of the nation. God be with him as the clock is running.

If he can make up the time squandered, many of us are getable for a return.

Intrade is very easy and inexpensive to manipulate for appearance sake this early in a campaign. I wouldn’t put it past Romney (given his recent exhibition of desperation with the $10K bet).

For instance, a day or so before palin announced she would not run, intrade on her dropped to zero very suddenly. Anyone who watches intrade knew something was up and knew it did not drop to zero for no reason.

Maybe it was just Sarah selling short?

silver, dropping on the upcoming global depression

Newt, he might be depressed too.

I’m not up to snuff on Perry’s early team but I know that right now he has some top notch minds around him. People that know how to win elections.

It's a fair cop.

See the results of the Debate tonight, before any “conclusions” are projected into another alternative reality.

Newt is in freefall today. Something is definitely going on. Looks like newt is headed for the bottom of the heap. I just wish mitt’s numbers were also on the decline. Lets hope santorum or bachman get some traction before the iowa primary. I live in iowa and I’m voting santorum.

National Review posted an article this morning that wasn’t quite “anybody but Newt” but pretty close to it.

newt is dropping so fast there is obviously something big going on and it’s not a blip. I will watch the debate and I will be pulling for santorum.

It’s personal for them, I think. It has to be.

You would love to see your effort to destroy Newt pay off, I know, so your third-string wannabe can somehow pull off a miracle.

But sit back and watch. The MSM is running with questionable and skewed data for a reason, which you so happily call “something big going on”. And you are basing it on one small state, which has not had a very good track record of picking the winner for some time now.

Yeah, I'm hoping for a pleasant surprise out of Iowa, but it may be a faint hope. I know the Paul types are relentless, and they along with the Romney threat will probably spoil Santorum or Bachmann rising by keeping the herd stampeding into the Newt camp. Seems the stars will just not align. I suspect the Lord has a reason for Obama remaining in power because that looks like where we're headed.

I just checked intrade again. At this rate, newt will be all washed up before sundown.

wow, newt has lost half is value today on intrade. looks like they've evenly split to go to romney paul and huntsman. huntsman has jumped almost 40 percent I don't get it.

at any rate newt is finished
