excellent analysis. bump.
thank you :)
You're very welcome. :^)
Thanks for the ping!
I've looked at a number of your posts over the years, and honestly, once I clicked through to the page I doubt I've ever read one. I MIGHT have read the first one. Now I just see, "Oh, there's that unreadable mess again."
I clicked this one because it had a good headline. That's all.
Most people are not as masochistic as you seem to be. Once they've determined they don't like my posts, they don't continue to open them.
Another point. Your central premise as to the purpose/structure of my posts is wrong. The purpose of my posts is twofold: (1) To present a new argument with a new essay (2) To support that argument with documentation, prior arguments, audio/video and/or other data; that is, to get the word out, to be another resource online.
I do not expect the reader to read beyond the new essay necessarily, i.e., to read all the footnotes, play the audio/video, or goto the supporting links. Indeed, I don't expect that all readers will even read the entire essay.
Some people are inveterate headline-and-first-paragraph people. If the concept is transmitted via the headline and first paragraph and given credibility with the documentation, that is sufficient for me. This exercise is not an ego-driven thing. All I am shooting for is to get the word out.
Thanx. :)

'HILLARY'S BIGGEST PROBLEM... SHE'S OLD NEWS' |
Oh...that's GOOD!
I love what you did with little David and Tony!
Clinton = 45.64 = $4.65
Warner = 20.722 = $2.07
Gore = 12.813 = $1.28
Edwards = 5.362 = $0.54
With Intrade/Tradesports, if your candidate wins (e.g. Hillary becomes President), you win $10.00 less your bet amount, i.e. $10.00 - $4.65 today = $5.35 (you can wager multiple contracts). If you lose, your wager expires at 0 ($0.00) the day after the election.
The numbers change every day, though this is a long-term wager so is stable for weeks and months at a time (Warner went through a "doubling" period last fall an has remained steady since then).
Then we have the slate of losers: Powell and Lieberman are not judged at all viable by the Intrade/Tradesports marketplace.

By the way, anyone can play around with the Tradesports numbers and charts here (without an account and without betting):
https://www.tradesports.com/aav2/trading/tradingHTML.jsp?evID=23190&eventSelect=23190&updateList=true&showExpired=false
Click on the names of nominees and another window will popup with interesting price charts going back more than a year, so you can see how each "candidate" has fared over time.
Over on the left menu, you can reach a similar chart for Republican candiates.
fyi
Still haven't read it but I can't resist bumping for a lady.
thank you, again. :)
