Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual. You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours. And in the coming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together. Reducing our deficit. Reforming our tax code. Fixing our immigration system. Freeing ourselves from foreign oil. We've got more work to do.

Similar claims are made this year that Romney’s price (35% at present) are inflated relative to his actual chances (Nate Silver’s 538 shows Romney’s chances to be 15% at present). It’s impossible to determine without the insight of Intrade itself whether this is a series of wide-eyed Romney optimists or a concerted effort to raise Romney’s prices. From experience and looking at the offers/bids, it’s probably the former. There seems a general sense amongst conservatives, one of which resides in my own family, that Romney cannot possibly lose. But again, what is a potential downside for Intrade’s predictive abilities is a boon to traders who can take full advantage of what they perceive to be bad pricing. Whether it is indeed bad pricing or not will be determined on election day.
