Bugs,
I speak in riddles like the old funny SNL Dennis Miller; I was trying to give you a subtle compliment cloaked inside a poor joke. And we should all be bitter about those topics and the election. Our posts are dry boring housing and economic facts that no one wants to read.We post economic or housing threads and there are 1 or 2 responses, while all these OT posts swamp all legit posts. I think these posts used to be on the Yahoo message board, but they got “so out of hand” that Yahoo shut it down. The way OT posts should be one way redirected to
http://charactercounts.org/overview/faq.html#SixPillarsI was waiting for someone like you to bring this up, others like me have no leadership skills here. So, THANK YOU!

Those national polls on who is doing a good job are worthless. Those same 90% are the ones that say the rep for their district is doing a good job. Its the same national polls on the pres elec, its the electoral college not popular vote, otherwise we’d all be driving smart cars under Gore. The press is too stupid or more likely is too broke to conduct 50 state polls to get real data.
intrade (UK futures site banned in this country by the nanny pukes in DC) has McCain at only 31% chance of winning, while the University of Iowa elections market (open to US with limit of $500) has McCain at 35%.
You can clean up at the IOWA site, the odds are SO WRONG; once we get in there the odd in Oct will go 50-50. Sure thing John, easy 500.http://iemweb.biz.uiowa.edu/quotes/Pres08_Quotes.html

I just trying to make the point that people talk about how poorly Bush does in the poll while ignoring that 4 times more people think Bush is doing is a good job vs those that think Congress is doing a good job.
I have a friend who traded political futures based in London. I am not sure if they are more then one future to trade or not or if he traded the one that you have linked. At one time the futures he traded had Hillary with a lock on the nomination with Obama round 2%.
I agree with the odds being off. Buying McCain at 31% would be a gift.

I’m a long time lurker who appreciates your & bugs’ opinions on housing. It wasn’t long ago that this site was filled with civilized debate & analysis. Maybe you’re right about housing & economics losing traction, but it’s sort of sad that people like jficquette & partyup have hijacked this site. I have to admit that jficquette is entertaining in an off-color sort of way at times (partyup just flat out rambles), but I do miss the well articulated, fact-based arguments we used to frequently see not that long ago.
