Whether I have or not is your opinion.

I noticed you did not say the same thing to Jim Robinson as well.

However, you are right in one regard, he did not buy them off secretly. PAC operations are open book.

[Swordfished]

No conspiracy at all. Seems pretty straight forward.

The question remains, did the PAC make such donations?

You should put on your detective's hat and solve this mystery! Get yourself a Bernstein, Woodward, and take out a big fish...

...but it's so much easier to speculate without getting up from your chair.

[B Knotts]

It's a fair point...Romney could be telling the truth, but we are being asked to accept an awful lot on faith...to be fair, I don't much trust the Fred Thompson is much of a "movement conservative" either.

It would be nice if we could just dump all the MSM candidates, and have the choice be between Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, Huckabee, Paul, etc.

However, reality is what it is, so slickness will impress the average Joe. And Romney has slickness.

I think he's probably better than Giuliani, at least.

[ejonesie22]

You are right, it is easy to do it without getting out of your chair!

ITS CALLED THE INTERNET!

It’s really cool. You should try it.

BTW just saw the Robertson is backing Julie Anne on Drudge...

Now someone tell me that something is totally wrong here...

[Swordfished]

Great. Now go get your lawyer and prosecute. Until then, you're all talk.

Also, stock up on tin foil.

[ejonesie22]

There is nothing to prosecute, no legal crime has been committed. And there is no conspiracy either...

yes, Intrade is not 100% accurate but it’s probably as close as it gets to it.

That's not what the article I posted from The Street said. Basically these markets are much too tiny to offer any predictive value.

For the record, I don't tend to think most polls are that useful, either, especially this far out. When I get a chance, just for curiosity's sake, I'm going to dig up old InTrade ratings on various races, compare them to polls, and see what we see. I'll let you know what I find.
