Mathematics and Markets predicts Bush over Kerry

Almighty Colin · 06-15-2004

The highly accurate Fair "presidential vote equation" predicts Bush will win in a landslide by election time because of the economy.

Purportedly much more accurate than national sampling polls, The University of Iowa futures market currently predicts Bush over Kerry 51 to 47.

Interesting all the money being wagered on Clinton for VP. What's up with that?

BTW .. you can "trade" there ;-)

This would be nice.

There was definately a lot of momentum against Bush the past few months, I think he weathered through it pretty well. Of course it helps to have Kerry as your opponent.

July 26 looms large.

I am for anything that slows the Federal Gov't down. You surely cannot count on politicians to do what they say in the campaign once they get in office.

Bush winning will not slow the Gov't down as much as Kerry winning.

Presidents are constricted to doing only certain things in their first term that they are not in their second term when they pull out all the stops on the way out.

I think the founding fathers got it right when they described the eventual bankruptcy of the country as people realize they can vote themselves money.

Like hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, meteor strikes, etc., it is no a matter of if but when.

I'm not going to worry about it, but I agree with it.

I've just been reading about PHI and it's relation to the stock market....has there been any studies on it's relationship to politics? Might be an interesting research project

"GOODNEWS quarter" ?!?

Djeezus! What kind of 1984-ish Newspeak is that?

Not surprizing coming from Yale, the alma mater of both Bush and Kerry, both Skull and Bones members...

The first 2004 presidential debate is going to be held here in Miami. Unfortunately, there's no real way to get tickets. Kerry is considered a great debater and Bush is quite good too - going back to his surprise "win" over Ann Richards.

Man, this could be a close election. Kerry was +7 in one national poll in the past few weeks and Bush was +10. The state by state breakdown looks pretty close. I'm still leaning toward Kerry because I think the Bush admin had mismanaged the political aspects of the Iraqi war and because of the religious and anti-porn aspects of Bush/Ashcroft. I wish Kerry would give me a reason to vote for him though.
