The Democrats will not win the House or the Senate. You heard it hear. No chance. Not at all.
Seriously. |

I think those odds are remarkably close to my perceptions: the Democrats have no chance of taking the Senate, and will probably fall short in the House by one or two races.
What is most ironic about this is that if the Democrats just came out and stated their policy preferences, instead of attacking the Republicans but not taking any positions themselves, they could probably take the House and threaten the Senate. While I don’t believe that many people would want to have the Democrats’ policies pass into law, I suspect that many people would also like to see the Republicans have to compromise more, and would be willing to vote Democrat if they could tell that the Democrats had any ideas about what to do in the world.

The futures market is a neat little thing. I’ve made hundreds of dollars on it. (the hard part is getting your money back without bank transfer fees).
First was in the 2004 election when on the day of the election all the exit polls were coming out Kerry. Bush’s price went down to 25-30. I put a hundred dollars or two on him and won a good deal of money.
Then was when I listend to Tom Maguire and put money on Rove not being indicted last year. That made me a hundred dollars or so too.
But it’s also good for sports, including betting while the game is going on. I saw one football game last year where it got up to 99 that the teams were going to scored 42 points or more. Only the one team missed a fg, then the other team got it intercepted, then they lost the ball and no one scored, making it 40 points total. Some lucky bastards came out big on that one. |

Ah, the same futures market that had Bush winning at 20% on Election Day 2004. This is the best evidence that the market does not determine reality. |

Elrod, it was down so low because of the exit polls coming out that day that kerry was winning. People panicked and started selling. If you looked at it over the long term in the run up though, he was a consistant 53-55%. |

I was being serious. I don’t believe that the Dems will win either house. Because Bushco will dispatch Rove to make Diebold "fix" their electronic voting machines? Or maybe Bushhitler will just use a military coup? MK, why so glum? |
