Just the Numbers: Week 50

THE NUMBERS

Obama continues to have the mo. Huckabee tops out at last week's 20%.

The GOP race has widened, even as the DEM race has narrowed. McCain and Ron Paul both showing some late-day strength.

THE STRATEGIES

The crosses (parley contracts) continue to look attractive, in particular if Obama goes all the way. The past week alone would would have profited 48% for an Obama-Giuliani contract (before a sizeable 10% paid for the wide bid-ask)!
