Reading Hibb’s entire paper, I get the sense he is not
thrilled with what his model is telling him. He even
mentions that he’s a big fan of betting markets, and they
show an Obama win. But the model says what it says — even
he kind of gently suggests Romney is another stiff, just
like Dole and Gore.
Except Gore & Dole never signed a check on the front. In addition to those two, the Bushes & BJ Clinton also never ran a business successfully. At least Romney has that going for him, which is a quarter of century of experience running a business successfully.
