Assuming I know that a judge or judges would decide it, I'd buy him being ruled ineligible anything below 20%. Doesn't seem very cut and dry for him.

Since his mom was an American citizen when he was born, there's no way he gets ruled ineligible. You could have an academic argument about the true particulars of the definition of "natural born citizen", but the judiciary isn't touching that if the candidate has as strong a case as "My American Momma". Maybe if he gets one of those crazy rear end in a top hat lower court judges who always gets overruled for being a loving idiot, it'll be a fun ride until he's immediately over ruled.

Rubio has continued to sink all day, I think people are realizing how big a deal the debate performance was, or at least how quickly it permeated out to everyone.

Yeah, I've been watching his prices all day. I bought a bunch of Rubio.RNOM No shares @ 54 cents last week and have been regretting it during his post-Iowa bump. Now I can't decide if I want to unload them now or gamble on Rubio having a bad night in NH.

Agreed. This is really not close. He is very likely eligible according to the interpretations of the late 18th century and that's all that SCOTUS needs even if they didn't punt on the question, which is a very likely outcome anyhow.

Only reason I'm betting against Bernie is that the margins on betting for him weren't tempting at all, while $14 is a decent enough lotto ticket. Plus then Bernie winning anything shares are gonna plummet to super sweet buy levels if Hildawg wins.

Carson isn't going to drop out before South Carolina. But I didn't think that Rand would drop out before the convention.

Carly is interesting. The GOP likes having her there to be able to attack Hillary without seeming sexist. I think the bet for her staying in is compelling.

Carson NO is in the 70s which is super tempting but the man is just too much of a wildcard. This is the one dropout horse I can't bet on anymore.

drat, people are turning on Rubio fast. I can't wait for every one else to drop and he scoops it up anyway.

Or alternatively, a four way tie for second in NH and chaos reigns :getin:

You may be onto something with the four-way 2nd place finish. They won't tie but it'll be so close that all of them can claim a small victory. This weekend's polls have mostly supported this outcome.

This is what Christie mentioned when he said there could be four or five tickets outta NH. Unfortunately for him he isn't polling anywhere near where he should be to finish there. A sixth place showing will be his swansong. You can guess where my dropout money is sitting. :getin:

That's why I'm a little confused with how high Kasich for 2nd is trading. He's got a good shot, but it's probably going to be a crazy close shootout for second. No idea why he got all the way up to 40 earlier today. Maybe I'm just too hopeful for my Cruz YES shares.

Oh, and if anyone cares, the ABC Speaker Time market hasn't closed yet (PredictIt posted an hour ago that they're reviewing the times to confirm before paying). The comments are going nuts with people screaming bloody murder/threatening lawsuits about having to wait until tomorrow.

I'm still so loving iffy on Trump NH. The polling bump is definitely higher than anything he'll get in actual voting, but I'm so convinced that his lack of ground structure means that people will be lazy fucks, just like in Iowa.

But then again, that's such a large polling gap between him and runner up. Ugh.

I've been accumulating shares of Kasich YES in Vermont, Massachusetts and Minnesota and now have about 2000 of them at 2 or 3 cents. If he does well in NH they are going to pop, but I did manage to sell 57 of them at 12 cents in Massachusetts the other day. This is my biggest lottery ticket right now.

Caucusing is a huge hassle. Primary voting is a normal day-long voting window, just like the general election. The barrier to participation is much lower.

Also you can use an absentee ballot, which means you could have already voted and gone snowbirding to Florida where you have also registered to vote. Because you're an rear end.

Non-assholes also have absentee voting available to them should they be out of town or just not feel like going to their dumb precinct when they can vote Trump from their spacious toilet.
