Political writer Lanny Davis wrote on The Hill today that its his opinion that “if [the dog-on-roof] story gets out and stays out, there will be tens of millions of Google hits by next October. And I am also thinking that Romney is going to lose a lot of dog-lover votes on this issue alone, regardless of party or ideology."
Davis also said, "I think anyone who puts his dog in a cage on top of a car for a 12-hour drive and then deludes himself or tries to delude others that the dog really enjoyed it — to me, with all due respect, I feel such a man shouldn’t be president of the United States.”
It's way too early for Obama to only be at 60%. We don't even have a nominee yet. He should be riding at about 75% at least.
The Intrade price for George W. Bush to win re-election in 2004 was hovering around 60 from March through April, fell to 55 on 5/24/2004, then 50 in July 2004. He climbed just above 70 at the time of the GOP convention and the Swift Boat ads (9/2004), then dropped close to 50 again during the debates with Kerry. And yet Intrade predicted, correctly, that Bush would be re-elected.
This spin of "Obama should be higher, this number is actually a bad sign for him" is funny.

More like 96.7% chance. Theres no way Romney can beat Obama, he is a proven liar and flip flopper.
That appears to be slightly inaccurate at this point:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Mitt Romney earning 49% of the vote, while President Obama attracts support from 44%.

Rasmussen leans right AND Bounces around a lot. Wait a day or two and the numbers will look different. IF you REALLY want to get an idea of the polls look at "polls of polls" - which average a bunch of polls from different sources. THOSE have pretty consistantly shown Obama to be ahead.
It is curious how stable Obama on Intrade has been lately -- shares have hardly floated below 59.0 or above 61.0 since mid-February.
And that is consistant with polls (or at least the AVERAGE of the polls).
