Puhleeze. I’m not the one saying “the smart money” is on a darker-than-dark horse. My side is based on history, not Judy Tenuta-like insistence that “It could happen!”
***Hunter polls at 4%, and he’s hoping for 5% so he can stay in the Iowa debates. If he’s at 5%, what do you put the odds of Intrade results going to ~5? Huckabee and Ron Paul both seem to have had it happen to them so why would Hunter be exempt?

As for your other contentions, you’re going round & round on name recognition and history and electability, whereas this thread is about how a certain bet might play out at Intrade and how that would help the candidate and the persons placing such a bet. So if you want me to answer, point me to another thread where the topic is more suitable.

So this is like fantasy league for politics?
