You can't see everything. But I'll bet someone shorted it. Time will tell.
If you call heads AND tails before the coin lands you can say you were right.
Woulda been a tough short to stay with, however a short put on a just a few days ago would have been dandy.
Sort of like the homebuilders. Those stocks ripped the livers out of plenty of doubters before they finally put in some downside. Friend of mine is short NVR from appx 920. Yes, that's about -425 points!

I was surprised to see tobacco being grown in Connecticut the first time I was in the countryside there. Turns out "shade" tobacco is a huge crop for the state and the product is highly regarded.
As the far left is encouraged by this, so will they be defeated by this, as reasonable people see them for the anti semitic Hezbolah loving bleeding hearts that they are.
It'll work. CT Republicans will vote for Lieberman because they know their candidate won't win. So Lieberman picks up 45% of Democrats and 50% of Republicans and wins a 3-way race.
It also means Lieberman will vote with the Repubs in the next Congress, and is ready to abandon the Dems in all but name. Otherwise he would bow out and concede to the radicals. I expect he won't declare switching parties, assuming he wins, but like Jeffords he will be a reliable vote. The Repubs will treat him well.
The environment???
You mean like preventing the U.S. from developing oil refineries, exploring and drilling for oil at a time when we are dependent on hostile foreign nations???
You mean like seizing the private property of U.S. citizens and preventing them from using it???
You mean like preventing a farmer from using his land because some rattlesnake or oddball snail lives there???
You mean like making drainage ditches "protected wetlands"???
You mean the sadistic "Environmentalist" kook fringe?
Forget it, Dick! Lieberman's still kook fringe, and, though it's taken over the Democrat Party--the Party of Sociopaths and Morons--the American people are not about to let the kook fringe take over the U.S.A.!
I'm sure you meant to say 'short call', right? ;^)
How does one triangulate when her party is so one-dimensional?
Who do you think is pulling Morris' strings?
"If you call heads AND tails before the coin lands you can say you were right."
Or you can do what a DemocRAT does...
Call it after it lands!
I hope so! We all have to work hard to make it happen.
The headline for Connecticut is: Democrat seat in doubt.
Right.
Could be!
Have to admit, I had a hard time getting past that one.
How about "Dick Morris, America's most prominent Toe-sucking campaign strategist"...
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Morris :
...it was revealed that he had had an extramarital affair with a prostitute (named Sherry Rowlands) ... Morris's favorite sexual fetish was toe-sucking...
When Charlemagne had finished building his Empire in 799, the Pope crowned him at a coronation ceremony proclaiming him the New Roman Emperor. This seemingly innocous act led to a fight that would last for centuries: who was the real king maker the Church or the State?
Tonight as I write this a similar coronation is going on in Ct. The sitting three term incumbent Joe Lieberman has been defeated by a political unknown Ned Lamont. (This is unusual because Joe is only the fourth Senator to lose a primary since 1980.)
Lamont is defined politically almost solely by his opposition to the war in Iraq. But the interesting part is the people who back him. Dubbed the "Netroots" it's an interesting patchwork of far left wing blog sites like DailyKos and MoveOn.Org. These people sent all kinds of money to Lamont who is a millionaire turning what is traditionally viewed as a local battle into a full scale national war.
Although they have found a narrow victory (Lamont catching 144,005 to Lieberman's 134,026, with 98 percent of precincts reporting) these people will be hailing a "major truimph".
This is going to leave moderate Democrats in pickle because the fringe's message isn't going to resonate with most people, and having most of the votes is what they need to win. If the attempt to appeal to the moderate base, they're going to lose the fringe and there aren't enough moderate Democrats to win anything either. Unfortunately, the fringe knows this and like the Pope's of old will excommunicate Democrat that refuses to tow their views.
Thus while anti war activists celebrate their victory, the real disaster and fight for the Democratic soul is looming ahead.
If necessary, she'll have her "coming out" party just before the primary.
He predicted Hillary's defeat in her Senate run. I view him as a short version of Bill Clinton.
Maybe the republicans should be thanking and praising her for her support of the WOT effort. It doesn't hurt to keep reminding the left that she voted for it.
