Prediction Markets + Market Predictions = Collective Forecasting That Pays Off

John Edwards, Elizabeth Edwards, Andrew Young, Rielle Hunter —and the secret child

Sex, scorn and videotape
When Will Former Democrat Presidential Hopeful, John Edwards, Admit That Reille Hunter’s Baby Is His

NBC Nightly News ran a story on Monday nite about John Edwards’ lies. And today, the National Enquirer has new revelations. If I were John Delaney of InTrade, or a super user at HubDub, I would have a field day creating some prediction markets about the definitive demise of John Edwards.

On top of the $114,000 given to her by John Edwards’ political action committee, $15,000 a month has been paid to Rielle Hunter (Lisa Druck) by Fred Baron, who was John Edwards’ national finance chair —so that the mistress (a de facto deluxe prostitute) shuts up her face about the affair and the baby.

So, John Edwards’ friend would pay about $180,000 each year for her —if I understand well.
What kind of R.O.I. did Fred Baron expect on that investment? That’s what the “free” Press should be asking.

John Edwards is a liar and a hypocrite. Video

Thinking they would fight poverty and solve the “2 Americas” problem, the John Edwards donors ended up giving (thru his political action committee) $114,000 to his mistress (a de facto prostitute whom he said he “didn’t love”) on the pretext of producing 4 YouTube videos (on a mere 2 1/2 minutes long).

I want John Edwards to disappear in his own ass, and I don’t want to hear anymore about that bastard.
I have updated my previous post with the relevant links —for those of you who are just surfacing from an Afghan cave.

PS: I made a killing at HubDub, shorting down that f*****g bastard.

The John Edwards Non-Affair gives us an opportunity to look deep into the caldron of the wisdom of crowds.

As you all know, The National Enquirer (a supermarket tabloid which pays its informants and sometimes publishes false news) has it that John Edwards has a “love child” from one of his former assistants (all this while his wife is dying of cancer), and that the whole story is being covered up, big time.

The John Edwards Non-Affair… is making Memeorandum (twice), again.

Slate’s Jack Shafer (my favorite libertarian journalist –both small “L” and capitalized “L”):
[...] visiting the woman who recently gave birth to the out-of-wedlock child of a married campaign aide is completely OK. But meeting her at a Beverly Hills hotel in the early hours of the morning and running from tabloid reporters when approached and [...]

The John Edwards Non-Affair

Interesting experiment in blog journalism.
Who do you trust? The Slate blogger or that blogger? I’m truly puzzled.
