"Only a Moron would bet that Obama will receive the Nomination..."
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 08:13 PM by Labors of Hercules
Eye opening proof of just how far Obama has come, and how incredibly far he is likely to go...

According to the intrade.com prediction markets on OCTOBER 12th, 2007, Against Hillary's 69 percent, AL GORE had a greater probability (at 13%) of receiving the Democratic Nomination for President than Barack Obama (at 11.5%).

http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/10/12/gore-passes-obama-for-democratic-nomination/

"Only Nostradamus, an insane optimist or a complete MORON bought future shares in Obama's candidacy back in October..."

SO, If he can rise from an 11.5% chance of being our Nominee to be LITERALLY NECK-AND-NECK with Hillary today, I have NO DOUBT he WILL be our nominee and KICK ASS in November!!!!

:woohoo:
