The Institute of 2012 GOP nomination Intrade rankings

[Mr. Morden]

Romney gets a negative bounce from his completely expected win in Nevada.  Santorum price more than doubles in the last two days, as people start to realize that he might actually win something this week.

Up: Santorum
Down: Romney

Romney 86.3
Gingrich 4.4

[Torie]

Paul's at 3% eh? LOL.

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

Paul/Minnesota looks like a good buy.

[Mr. Morden]

Santorum passes Gingrich for second place:

Romney and Paul are undervalued in Minnesota.

[Oakvale]

Interesting to see Santorum finally overtaking Gingrich.

Obama's also over 60% to be re-elected on Intrade, which is the first time he's been there since the Bin Laden bounce wore off.

[Mr. Morden]

Post-Feb. 7 caucus update:

Santorum surges like mad and Romney drops.  Santorum was at 0.6 just a couple of weeks ago, so anyone who put $ on him then would now have enough money to fund quite a few attack ads.  Dems now over 60% chance to win the general election.

Up: Santorum
Down: Romney

Romney 78.0
Santorum 12.1

-the total bids on winning party total 100.0.  a unique shorting opportunity

-I feel ask if winning party-Dem should have gained a few points last night

[I Can't Get That Sound You Make, Out Of My Head]

How come Christie, Jeb and Daniels still trade at above 0 rankings?

Brokered convention possibility is at 20%.

VIRGINIA.ROMNEY was last traded at 85.0.  huge buying opportunity.

[Old Europe]

VIRGINIA.ROMNEY was last traded at 85.0.  huge buying opportunity.

Is there any particular reason for the existence of the "Newt Gingrich to win the 2012 Virginia Primary" market? And is there also a reason why it is traded above 0.0% (currently 5.5%)?

Speculation that Newt is gonna win Virginia through a massive write-in campaign or something?

[© Tweed the Younger]

I wouldn't be shocked if some Intraders didn't know about the VA ballot situation.  maybe also the possibility of a (very) late lawsuit or something.

[Beet]

VIRGINIA.SANTORUM contract traded as high as 15 last night.

[Mr. Morden]

Romney favored in all of the next four contests.  Romney to win Washington caucuses at 64.0 seems way too high to me, given how this past Tuesday's caucuses went.  If Romney's only at 76.4 to win Arizona and 70 to win Michigan, then he should certainly be below 50 to win Washington.

Romney 79.5
Santorum 11.6

Washington

Romney 64.0
Santorum 24.9
Paul 19.8
Gingrich 4.2

[Old Europe]

VIRGINIA.SANTORUM contract traded as high as 15 last night.

He would probably do fairly well in the "Rick Santorum to be elected President of France in 2012" market too.

[Lіef]

Either Paul or Santorum will win Washington. Romney doesn't have much of a chance.

how would you know that?

[King]

Romney 79.5
Santorum 11.6
Gingrich 3.1
Paul 2.4
J. Bush 0.6
Christie 0.6
Daniels 0.6

On Intrade in this race an 11.6 against Romney is like 40% odds of winning.

[Yelnoc]

If I was old enough, I would have made a killing this cycle.

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

Things are certainly getting interesting.
