Yeah, super glad I bought in on Hillary having less viewers when it was cheaper - she was on 2 fewer stations and on top of that everyone knows what Clinton's going to say. People tuned in to Trump to see if he'd take a big dump on the stage and say "You're still votin for me!"

Surprised it came so close though. She probably would have easily beat him if they had as many stations.

People are reacting to the considerably bad press she's been getting. I think it's a fair drop since she's become a personal target for bernouts country-wide which is unusual notoriety for someone in the house.

Yeah, her opponent is ridiculously well-funded for a House run (esp a primary run at that). She's still the massively popular incumbent though.

You could take this as an opportunity to get cheap Hillary NO's that you can sell when the price is where you want to buy Hillary YES's.

Hillary is going to have to really gently caress up to get to a worse place than she was prior to the DNC. Best hope is that Trump succeeds in pulling a Romney in the first debate.

Look, you either

a) Think the price will never go down again - Buy YES today, hold til election day.

b) Think the price will go down to a price that you like in the future - Buy NO today, sell when the price gets to the price that you like, buy YES then.

Clinton supporters are more likely to be young cord-cutters. Trump supporters are the people who help make NCIS the most-watched drama on network television. If they ever made a market on the number of times the Clinton balloon meme gets shared compared to some Trump meme, that would be a contest.

I ended up sitting out this week of TvC polls (except for a $6 lottery ticket that I turned into $1 lol) but I think the gap between TvC is going to widen next week and that C+4 or C+5 will be pretty decent bets, depending on the price you can get for them.

Interesting, but a long time to wait for a 10% payoff (unless he summarily closes it next week without congress ~somehow~). Market wouldn't close until late January, theoretically.

Better to bet on VA going Dem--81c YES at the moment.

Managed to grab a bunch of these in the low 60s and sold at 91 a while ago. It's a pretty safe bet if you're willing to hold on to it for the rest of his term.

If you're betting value bets out to the general election, just put it all here on "NO": https://www.predictit.org/Contract/612/Will-the-Democratic-presidential-nominee-win-at-least-370-electoral-votes-in-2016#data

370 Electoral votes is a LOT. It's not going to happen.

For further evidence see here: https://www.predictit.org/Market/2336/How-many-Electoral-College-votes-will-be-cast-for-the-winner-of-the-2016-presidential-election

combined odds this thing is a landslide: < 20 and I think that's generous.

I'm hunting for bets that payoff before then though.

Yeah, she would have to win all of the traditional swing states, plus probably... NC, Georgia, and Arizona? Maybe Indiana like Obama did in 2008 instead of one of those? Even if things get out of hand that seems extraordinarily unlikely.

Tim Canova's poll shows he is eight points behind Debbie Wasserman Schultz

A poll done for Tim Canova shows he is eight points behind longtime incumbent U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

The poll showed that Wasserman Schultz leads 46-38 percent with 16 percent undecided. Her lead narrows after the pollster provided positive and negative information about the candidates, but the press release from Canova's campaign didn't reveal the information provided to voters.

Canova and Wasserman Schultz are competing in a Democratic primary in the Broward/Miami-Dade Congressional District 23. The primary is Aug. 30th but voters are already casting ballots by mail.

The poll showed that 52 percent of respondents view Wasserman Schultz favorably and 35 percent unfavorably while 13 percent have no opinion of her or never heard of her. For Canova, his favorable-unfavorable split is 32-8 percent.

But the poll shows Canova's biggest weakness: 60 percent of voters have no opinion/never heard of him. Despite his national media exposure due to Bernie Sanders endorsing him and his prolific fundraising, he is a first-time candidate who isn't well known in the district. Wasserman Schultz has been an elected official for more than two decades -- first in the state Legislature and elected to Congress in 2004.
