Poll (supposedly) about to be released that will put Clinton up in MO. Probably a good time to buy & flip.

Among Republicans, the billionaire businessman Trump leads Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, 36-29, with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio at 9 percent and Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 8. A total of 17 percent of Republican poll respondents said they were undecided.

Sanders could win Missouri, holy poo poo.

Supreme Court down to Garland, Sri, and Watford per Reuters. With the first two the favorites.

I've got a whole bunch of Garland...I've thought he would be the nominee from the get go. But I'll make a little money if its Sri or Watford instead.

Not watching the market at all but that's not really a Trollbama pick. Everyone else on that list is blatantly a political troll, but Garland has had too long a career so there'll be something objectionable in there to pretend to stonewall over. Not sure it makes sense.

I've thought he'll pick Garland because he knows it'll get rejected and Garland is a much, much safer pick. I mean, hell, he'll even die pretty soon, maybe, whereas Sri should be kicking it for about 30 years. With the voters saying the Senate should at least look at the guy, not looking at bland ol' Garland is going to be pretty harmful to the GOP.

Yeah I think Garland's age is seen incorrectly as a liability. It's helpful to him against a hostile opposition, because he'll only be on the bench for ~20 years instead of ~35. Garland has already made two shortlists; this is now his third. There is clearly some goodwill there from Obama, and I have a hard time seeing Obama bringing him back a third time if he is not seriously considering it. Sri is young enough to still be a potential nominee for the next 3 Presidential terms.

Sri is the only one left who was confirmed unanimously. He is also the most historic choice. I've suspected Obama might pick him from the start.

Is Kasich really 60/40 to win OH? I kinda wanna get in on NO, but if he's a slam dunk that I'm just not seeing, I don't want to be stupid.

Also why aren't there markets for Wyoming, Guam, etc?

People are reacting to a few things in Kasich's favor:

1. Some polls show him well within striking distance, or even ahead
2. Late deciders break heavily against Trump
3. Rubio basically said to vote for Kasich to stop Trump, and stopped just short of telling his voters to do so
4. There's been some "bad press" for Trump lately (the protesters things)
5. A decision today allows 17 year olds to vote in the primary (slightly helping Kasich maybe?)

I'm skeptical 3 or 4 really matter, but if it's close, it could tip things toward Kasich. It's basically a tossup at this point.

in addition to the trump thing, at his own rally, he really went after Rahm Emanuel tonight, which is probably the right play.

if he can dent Hillary's black support, he'll win Illinois

Bernie isn't winning Illinois with a 30/30 Hispanic and Black population in one of America's largest cities. Demos don't look good with IL population skewing older.

No position either. I'm fairly sure the polls were correct last week but there'll be natural tightening and obviously the Trump news will affect the Dem race heavily in some way. No idea what the fallout is on the Dem side, not gonna bother handicapping it, GL.

Trump probably just locked up IL though. I'd like to be proven wrong there but let's face it I'm not.

Kasich is the least likely win. Rubio would win it if he wasn't days from implosion, Trump could win because Trump can apparently win anywhere especially with the anti-Trump vote spread, and Cruz is the obvious Rubio alternative since Kasich has no chance even though everyone loathes Ted Cruz.
