Prepare yourselves for Watercooler Monday

posted 2008.02.03 Sunday

Earlier today I was talking to the Fungster and I asked, "What would one call the Monday between Super Sunday and Super Tuesday?"  He quite brilliantly proposed "Watercooler Monday".   Unfortunately there probably isn't enough time for this to take off...

UPDATE (after 2/5):   If anyone meets around the watercooler on plain-ol' Wednesday, ask each other how it is that 20+ Democratic primaries and caucuses could lead to a whole 1-point movement in the prices of the Obama and Clinton nomination contracts at Intrade.   P-Shock's home state of Virginia is next week, but (with the exception of Pennsylvania) Intrade didn't even bother to set up contracts on any post-Super Tuesday primaries.

UPDATE (2/6 11pm):  You know the drill...Intrade prediction markets: Obama now favorite for nomination!

UPDATE (2/7):  Intrade now has markets for the next week's states, with Obama leading them all.  The Washington Post says the battle is coming home to us.
