Probably. What I don’t understand is why they don’t have dropout bets for all the candidates as soon as they open on the other board... It seems like a way for them to make money coming & going. Maybe the explanation is they don’t ordinarily get much volume on those contracts, making them less worthwhile to bother with.

Duncan may be a great Formula1 driver, but his car hasn’t gotten him off the starting line in almost a year. And he’s getting lapped.

Duncan may be a great Formula1 driver, but his car hasn’t gotten him off the starting line in almost a year. And he’s getting lapped.
***Already covered in post #79 et al.

Excerpts:

As far as the rest, we are not saying Hunter is not on the track, indeed he and Fred are on the same road course, the same race. We have lapped him, and we expect to stay ahead.
***You have lapped him in the streetracers, not on the formula1 circuit. Just keep that straight in your head. Hunter is not doing well in streetrace events, I acknowledge that. But if your guy’s claim to fame is that he can do well in streetraces, then he should be focusing on beating the other guys with the same claim to fame.

However with two F1 Cars, and the requisite Yugos, we have 2 Formula 1 Cars supported on the Formula 1 site.
***And as I’ve stated repeatedly, our Formula1Hunter car beats your Formula1Fred car in Formula1, which is what matters to formula1 fans. Street race results don’t matter that much to us formula1 fans, I’ve stated that explicitly so try not to keep coming around to that.

Intrade just added a “Ron Paul as 3rd Party Candidate” contract. They’re keeping on eye on this phenominon too.

The guy raised $4M in one day. As much as I like to dismiss him, well, I can’t any more because he’s got money and some numbers. That doesn’t mean he has my vote, but he’s made the race even more fascinating.

I don’t get it. Yes, I’m slow on the uptake.

A lot of his support seems to be from Gen X folks and such...

They vote, and they have money.

A lot of the political landscape changed in the 1960’s when youngsters started getting vocal about the war in Nam. But it was a much stronger voice back then because the draft was in place.

This could be evidence of a political tide change, or it could just be evidence that the republican party is fractured and unable to take on Hillary, or it could mean... heckifIknow.
