Shockingly, the Intrade futures market for 2008 GOP presidential contenders was putting higher odds on Fred Thompson than John McCain a couple of days ago. Here are the current odds, which still have Thompson in a strong third place:
-Giuliani - 30.1%
-McCain - 19.8%
-Thompson - 18.7%
-Romney - 17.4%
-Gingrich - 4.0%
I've been skeptical of McCain's candidacy from the beginning, but it seems pretty early to put that much probability on Thompson, doesn't it? He doesn't even have a campaign yet.
