- Cain passes Paul on Intrade

[Esoteric]

For the first time since June, Herman Cain is trading with a better chance to win the nomination than Ron, who is now at about a 3-month low of 2.4%, while Cain is trading at 2.5%.

I see 2.9% for Herman Cain.

Sigh. It's starting to look like the Presidency 5 straw poll could be to Herman Cain what Ames was to Huckabee in 2007.

It's gone up based on future expectations of the polls.

He has the Kochs behind him now Trump perhaps and Ed Koch (they met just this week). It doesn't take much money to manipulate intrade at this point with the low trades.

I'm not concerned about intrade yet. The Kochtopus and Fox ARE focusing on giving Cain a second bump at least until they can get someone else in, though, it looks like. They are both specifically anti-Ron. But Cain still was pro TARP and anti auditing the Fed, and there are videos of his early campaign positions he is never going to live down. Too bad, it should have been Ron's time, but we still have time. A big question is how much money they are willing to invest in Cain. He isn't going far if he can't get money. And we'll see that in a couple of weeks when quarter end numbers are out.

2.9% for Herman Cain is quite appropriate. It's Ron's 2.4% that is incorrect. Ron's been over 3% on the european markets for months.
