Kay Bailey Hutchison

[D2bets]

Shot up the charts today at Intrade for McCain's VP.

Anyone think this is real?

 

[JoeContrarian]

Colin Powell shot up a few days ago.

Are these markets EVER right? hno:

I saw her on TV I think it was yesterday. At the time I thought...VP maybe? So it's probably nothing more than what I saw.

 

[texansfan]

Hard to say. Most people are saying she's retiring from the Senate to make a run for Governer in 2010.

 

[D2bets]

Powell hasn't traded virtually at all and everyone knows that is impossible.

Hutchison hadn't traded above 10 ever and shot up to 35 today on volume. Big difference.

Mot of the loss is on Romney who fell hard today but is making a little comeback right now.

 

[BetIt]

I think intrade reacts to public news

I don't think it's insider trading...few articles today spoke about KBH rising on the list.

That's all (IMO)

 

[tiznow]

Dick Morris said her selection would seal the deal for McCain.

Some gamblers took a flyer, she must of been a long shot.

 

[BetIt]

Dick Morris isn't really a pundit i'd be putting money behind his thoughts.

much more talent on that side of the aisle other than him

 

[eek.]

If they choose Colin Powell then Obama is fucked.

 

[Willie99]

Dick Morris isn't really a pundit i'd be putting money behind his thoughts.

Dick Morris is a Clinton hater today, but he's also the guy that helped to elect the last Democrat to be elected.

 

[BetIt]

Yeah I just don't think analysis is that great...I remember reading his primary stuff and it so was agenda driven

I know his story.....a few dem conventions and some hookers ago he was clintons right hand man

 

[Willie99]

Hey, I don't know why KBH surged. I'm only guessing here. I think it's plausible that my guess is part of the mix.

 

[BetIt]

Very well could be

I don't think Morris was the only one touting her though

Guess we'll find out tomorrow night or Friday

 

[D2bets]

KBH has fallen back down to the low teens. Think it was a fad. Romney about 50/50.
