Prediction markets now see Obama defeating Clinton

[AFA]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Traders wagering on the outcome of the U.S. presidential vote were overwhelmingly betting on Monday that Illinois Sen. Barack Obama will defeat former first lady Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination and ultimately win the presidency.

Obama, whose campaign swept four state Democratic presidential contests against Clinton over the weekend, was trading at about 70 on Monday on the Dublin, Ireland-based Intrade predictions market, meaning traders gave him a 70 percent chance of being the Democrats' presidential candidate in the November election.

His was always a good voice on an issue. It's a shame we're now missing out on it.

He met a new girl I think.:hatsoff::nanner:

And yeah he posted a lot of great insightfull stuff like this one.He also predicted our economy was headed for big problems and posted on that a lot.Things like GAO reports on how certain govt programs related to health care,social security were going to be broke soon.Wonder how he would view the current reform effort on health care.Probably not see it going far enough or fixing the problem I would think.:dunno:
