Intrade Update: Sotomayor confirmation and 2012 Republican nominee

Sonia Sotomayor Confirmation

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted on Tuesday to approve Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court. The 13-6 vote, largely along party lines, clears the way for a full Senate vote and her likely confirmation.

How many Senators will vote to confirm Sotomayor? Our market shows a 95.0% chance she will receive at least 65 votes and a 20.0% chance of receiving 70 or more votes.

2012 Republican Nominee

The resignation of Sarah Palin as Governor of Alaska has ignited speculation she intends to run for president in 2012. There has been no official announcement from last year's Republican vice-presidential nominee but she remains the most traded potential candidate in our market for the 2012 Republican nominee.

Palin is given a 15.5% probability of securing the nomination, some distance behind market leader Mitt Romney on 33.9%. Other current contenders include Bobby Jindal (15.9%), Newt Gingrich (14.4%), Mike Huckabee (13.9%) and Tim Pawlenty (12.1%).

Michele Bachmann satire: "We're Running Out Of Enemies of This Country"

In an interview with a conservative talk show host, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has once again embarrassed herself. Posted by Rightardia and picked up by the MN Regressive Project, the Minnesota Republican telling KLTR's Chris Flaker that she opposes she opposes the Moscow Summit because we're "running out of enemies of this country."

Steve Lemon organizes some more of the Bachmann stupidity:

* ACORN is "under federal indictment for voter fraud," but the stimulus bill nevertheless gives ACORN "$5 billion." However, ACORN is not under federal indictment and isn't mentioned in the stimulus bill at all.

* many members of Congress have "a real aversion to pre-emptive war and blitzkriegs."

* the stimulus bill includes a measure to create a "rationing board" for health care, and after the bill becomes law, "your doctor will no longer be able to make your healthcare decisions with you." Of course, the stimulus bill did not addressed medical care in the US.

* the recovery package is part of a Democratic conspiracy to "direct" funding away from Republican districts that have military bases, so Democratic districts can "suck up" all federal funds for the Armed Services. Bachmann doesn't think this will work because, as she put it, "We're running out of enemies of this country."

* the "Community-Organizer-in-Chief" is also orchestrating a conspiracy involving the Census Bureau, which the president will use to redraw congressional lines to keep Democrats in power for up to "40 years." When Rightardia noted that congressional district lines are drawn at the state level, Bachmann said Obama's non-existent plan is an "anti-constitutional move."

Bachmann also added that she expected President Obama to go to China to 'smooze them as well. '

"We must stop eliminating perfectly good enemies like Russia and China because it will hurt the US defense industry which sells half of the world's arms," sobbed Bachmann. She also suggested that beating swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks violated the Second Amendment rights of Americans.

Bachmann adedd, "A nation will not take up sword against another nation, nor will train for war anymore is a wimp!"
