Casinos, Gamblers, Bettors, Bookies : Obama is soaring in favorability : Barack Obama to be re-elected President in 2012 : 54.2% --- Newt Gingrich to win the 2012 South Carolina Primary 70.5% - Mitt Romney to win the 2012 SC Primary 29.3%

.

Mitt Romney to be Republican Presidential Nominee in 2012 : 75.2%.

So you have to invest $75.2 dollars to win one hundred if Mitt gets the nomination ( minus taxes and fees ).

This information is taken from INTRADE.COM ( A famous betting business ).

I have been following the bets : these people can have "Insider Information", these bettors may be in the spot ( South Carolina ) or know a lot more than us. I have seen Obama hovering over 49% and now Obama is flying to the sky like an eagle, very notable improvement of the forecasts in favor of the President.

If you are a Party Operative, you are better informed about the possibilities of the candidates.

Of course bettors follow the polls, but they may have better hunches, intuitive feelings or premonitions based on experience. Or they may be contacting the right people to know the scoop before others.
