Bin Laden Effect: Obama Re-Election Odds Rise

The chart above is featured today on the Enterprise Blog, showing that Intrade odds for Obama to get re-elected just jumped from 60% to 70%.  There's lots of good discussion about Bin Laden on AEI's blog today, here's a good summary.  

Update: "My quick take is that Obama will be re-elected (getting Osama is way more important than Iraq or Saddam in the American mind, attacks on American soil, etc.), at this point the Republicans won’t try to beat him from the center and will thus nominate a more extreme candidate and lose badly, and the most important effects will be on Pakistan, not this country," writes Tyler Cowen.
