Back to the Basics

After a long (emphasize the long) holiday weekend, ATC is back in the saddle. Interestingly, news is breaking that former senator and movie star, Fred Thompson, will be announcing on July 4 (our sources claim it could be as early as Saturday). Nonetheless, it looks like ATC will be celebrating an 11-0 start either way (that is unless FT decides not to give it a go).

As the stock market soars, Barry Bonds keeps hitting homers, and Putin says he has a new rocket, ATC continues on as the world's most accurate predictor.

In the news: ATC favorite King James evened the series between the Cavs and the Pistons.

ATC To Celebrate 10-0

Arlington, VA - In what can only be described as 'amazing', ATC extends its prediction record to 10-0. Earlier in the month, ATC named Jordin Sparks as its odds on favorite to win despite a flurry of reporting on other contestants.

ATC will pop the champagne over the weekend...

A reader says: "Arkansas football back Darren McFadden will be the next Heisman Trophy winner. You should make a prediction on this."

In the news: King James looking to even up the series tonight...

ATC 10-0 Tonight?

As anticipated as your morning coffee after late night, ATC looks to go to 10-0 tonight, projecting (what has been ongoing for a month) Jordin Sparks to win American Idol. It has been said (after this year's Apprentice) that it is the year of the woman (next year not so much, sorry Hillary).

In other news: Lincoln had smallpox (but really, how do they know?).

Also in other news: ATC did not predict who would get the #1 lottery pick in the NBA (Memphis had the best odds; Portland won) because that is a matter of chance and we specialize in absolutes.

While on the NBA, King James is down 1-0 and the Spurs are looking to KO the Utah Jazz (weird name for a Utah team for sure).

Presidential Stock Exchange: Reports of massive fighting between Romney and McCain (while Giuliani stays above the fray) knocks each of them down a quarter today...

Madness Tuesday

As the Google duo seeks more information about you, the Feds approve birth control that eliminates women's periods, Turkey faces a meltdown (the country, not the bird), and debate rages on what to do with illegal immigrants (most American's want the problem fixed now) ATC is 9-0 and looking to extend to 10-0 with Jordin Sparks winning American Idol tomorrow.

PES Update: John McCain up $.75 on reports of stronger fundraising.

In the News: John Edwards' received $55,000 for a speech on poverty (he also recently built a six million dollar home)...

Romney With HUGE IA Lead

According to the Des Moines Register, Mitt Romney has opened a huge lead among likely Iowa straw pollers. This certainly will effect the Presidential Stock Exchange (PSE) for all involved.

Fred Thompson Announcement

ATC has it on a good source that rumored GOP presidential candidate and former senator Fred Thompson will announce before August. Thompson, the Law and Order star attorney, has to date implemented a very stealthy and effective campaign (though has yet to announce his intentions or answer questions).

So, ATC Prediction: Fred Thompson Announcement for President before August 2007.

In other news: The Sopranos was quite violent last night - including a botched suicide by AJ. AJ also took time to predict that the U.S. will bomb Iran. Oh AJ.

On a personal note: This blogger will be hitting the beach for Memorial Day weekend (despite increasing gas prices to get there).

ATC In Weekend Blowout

Arlington, VA - Remarkably, ATC improved on its previous prediction modeling, picking the top three horses in yesterday's Preakness Stakes. ATC's original Kentucky Derby pick - Curlin - went on to win the Preakness by a nose.

Stay tuned for Belmont predictions in three weeks.

ATC Presidential Stock Exchange (PSE)

Over the course of the 2008 presidential cycle, ATC will track (announced) candidate progress using the Presidential Stock Exchange or PSE. The PSE will track candidate progress using a combination of polling, news, general information, policy, and current trends.

Updates to the PSE will be weekly (and more frequently as information warrants).

Prediction: Street Sense to Win Preakness

As promised, Advanced Targeting has applied its trademarked Highly Integrated Targeting System (HITS) to predict the winning field of the 132nd Preakness Stakes.

As many of you remember, HITS predicted Curlin to win the Kentucky Derby despite the fact that HITS predicted Street Sense as the "fastest horse." Curlin's loss at the Kentucky Derby dropped his total score enough to give the nod to Street Sense in today's Preakness Stakes. As a note, HITS refined its system a bit after the earlier Kentucky Derby analysis.

The following represents the HITS score top scores:

1) Street Sense/ HITS Points 181.5
2) Curlin/ HITS Points 179
3) Hard Spun/ HITS Points 175

In other news: King James and the Cavs defeated the NJ Nets last night - extending ATC's record to 8-0.

Friday Update

It is official, I strongly dislike riding in the middle seat on airplanes (despite what Wendy's might tell you about it when introducing their new burger of the month)... There really is nothing that is much worse that finding yourself stuck between two people on a long flight (especially if they are especially chatty or if they find their way into your space; converging from both sides).

Alas, ATC is pleased to say that King James and the Cavs are set to put away the NJ Nets (Cavs shooting over 51% in the first half).

Correction: ATC mistakingly noted in an earlier post that the Nets are set to move to the Bronx. The truth is that the Nets will be moving instead to Brooklyn.

From the Inbox: ATC's inbox is full of varying perspectives from presidential contenders. Huckabee tells ATC that he won the debate Tuesday night in South Carolina. McCain tells me he is campaigning hard. Rudy tells ATC he has the "right leadership for America."

ATC will take the bombardment of email messaging into consideration as it is set to announce the Presidential Stock Exchange (PES) over the weekend.

Finally, Preakness tomorrow. Predictions underway now.

Spending Money Like Edwards...

Listening to former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, this blogger is working to stop " spending like John Edwards at a beauty shop."

It was a bloody affair at Tuesday's debate between Rudy and Ron Paul (Ron Paul at time of bed was winning the Fox News text in your winner vote-a-thon; GOP leader wants him banned from future debates due to 9/11 comments).

In the News: The New York Times reports that McCain and Romney are targeting one another...; minorities now make up 1/3 of all Americans.

Also in the News: King James lost last night, American Idol down to two.

Preakness predictions and Presidential Stock Exchange (PES) unveiled this weekend.

Stay tuned.

South Cackalack Showdown

As we prepare for yet another huge Republican debate (not too sure how big a deal it is, but it will have a lot of contenders) one must wonder what is wrong with John Cox (who is an announced GOP candidate who will not be debating tonight)...

Likely #1 most used word in tonight's GOP debate: Falwell (Jerry Falwell died today).

Also in the News: Giuliani is now 100% pro-life.

Rant of the Day: Starbucks coffee (costs more than a gallon of gas - for now at least). Seems that Starbucks coffee is the most accessible, but not necessarily the best quality. Best ice coffee in town: McDonald's.

Coming soon: Presidential Stock Exchange (PSE); Preakness predictions.

The "WOW" Factor of 1 Billion

In the Washington Times today...

New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is prepared to spend an unprecedented $1 billion of his own $5.5 billion personal fortune for a third-party presidential campaign, personal friends of the mayor tell The Washington Times.

Michael Toner of the FEC said: "Bloomberg is H. Ross Perot on steroids."

Flashback: Advanced Targeting reported earlier this month that a majority of Americans would like to see a third party challenger.

Madness Everywhere

As Iranian leadership parties like its 1999 in the UAE, Hugo Chavez proposes a Latin development bank, and the Girls Gone Wild founder goes "crazy in jail", big things are happening across the NBA (yes, this includes King James)...

Last night, the most watched NBA playoff series between the Suns and Spurs was tied up 2-2. Fans can only hope that the knock downs and hard fowls continue, giving way to XFL style NBA in the future (I have always thought basketball should allow more fouls).

In other news, King James and the Cavs look to bury the NJ Nets and that weird looking little man Jason Kidd. Advanced Targeting predicted that the Cavs would win the series against the much touted NJ Nets - King James is one game away from making this a reality.

Rasmussen polling reports that fans think Blake will be the next to go on American Idol. If Blake is the next to go Advanced Targeting will again be right - picking the final two contestants.

Stay tuned as Advanced Targeting rolls out the Highly Integrated Targeting System (HITS) for Preakness predictions this weekend (HITS will not leave out the 'fastest horse' from our top three this time).

Rudy: No to IA, NH, and SC

The following article appeared today on Real Clear Politics. Interesting gamble by Rudy Giuliani as he seeks victory through the "larger, more cosmopolitan" areas of America.

The main question is: Will it work?

Rudy's Gamble Defies History
By Peter Brown

Every four years some presidential candidate, but never the front-runner, tries to find a way around the early, smaller state primaries and caucuses. That decision is almost always a sign of a candidate's efforts to mitigate a potentially fatal flaw.

That is what former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is doing with his reported decision to de-emphasize the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries in his quest for the GOP nomination.

In Other News: King James and the Cavs fall to NJ (series now 2-1).

Obamatized!

In the latest Rasmussen Reports national survey of the presidential race, U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D) is within a single point of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R).

Giuliani nominally leads Obama 45% to 44% when voters consider a general election match-up. In mid-April, Giuliani led by three points. The two had also been neck-and-neck in March.

Obama now holds a four-point lead over Republican Senator John McCain 46% to 42%. In April, Obama's lead over McCain was six points; prior to that, they were tied 44% to 44% for a couple months in a row.

Things that are bad: Spam (receiving more than ever before).

In a suprise move (like an AI crossover), Vice-President Cheney is on the ground in Iraq meeting with top military brass and applying diplomatic pressure according to the New York Times:

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/09/world/middleeast/09cnd-cheney.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

As the world turns, times may be changing in beautiful Zimbabwe - "as President Robert G. Mugabe’s 27-year rule enters what many analysts call a terminal phase, the selfproclaimed democratic opposition is near its nadir."

In other news: King James and the Cleveland Cavaliers extend to 2-0 vs. the NJ Nets.

When The Fed Comes Knocking...

The Fed is due to announce its interest rate decision at 2:15 p.m. Eastern -- expectations in the market are that rates will be held at 5.25%. Fed officials are seen as likely to make only limited word changes to the policy statement issued at the end of the meeting, unwilling to create more confusion after the stir caused by the major changes in the March 21 statement

KING JAMES TONIGHT

While ATC is not typically a huge NBA fan/predictor, this year's playoffs have been more exciting than usual (almost as exciting as Cisco posting a 34% profit increase today). It all started with the showdown between the Warriors and the Mavs (can't say that it was a bad thing for the Warriors to upset the 1st seed Mavs - everyone loves an underdog story) and the sweep of the reigning NBA champion Miami Heat by the Chicago Bulls (accurately predicted by ATC).

But back to King James (who was unfortunately not a part of Queen Elizabeth II's south lawn arrival or the dinner at the White House last night), the force behind a resurgent Cav team. It wasn't that long ago that it seemed professional sports in Cleveland were forever doomed to remain under .500. Things are looking up with King James on the court and Brady Quinn and co. stepping onto the football field this fall. This begs the question: Does Cleveland rock?

ATC answers this in the affirmative. Cleveland does rock. And ATC will go forth tonight with yet another bold prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers will defeat the New Jersey (soon to be Bronx) Nets.

There you have it. Two predictions in one day (see American Idol predictions).

Clinton With Largest Lead

CNN reports that Hillary Clinton has retaken the lead over Barack Obama and extended that lead to 14 points. In May polling, Clinton received 38% of the vote compared with 24 percent for Obama and 12 percent for Senator John Edwards. Despite all of this, the fact remains that voters are still more focused on American Idol than the presidential primary.

Speaking of American Idol, ATC believes this year's winner will be female and either be Jordin Sparks or Melinda Doolittle (four contestants remain). Stay tuned as ATC seeks to extend its record to 8-0.

In other news, Rasmussen reports that 58% of Americans would like to see a viable third party challenge in 2008. Microsoft confirms it has been in talks with Yahoo with hopes of boosting its search capabilities. And two must see movies to be released this spring/summer: The Bourne Ultimatum and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (could be the final movie for both series, but unlikely).

Pomp and Circumstance

Fresh from a visit to Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby, Queen Elizabeth II made an appearance at the White House (ATC was there) before an extremely large crowd on the south lawn this morning. In her speech, the Queen referenced what is truly a "strong alliance" between America and Great Britain (the Queen unfortunately did not mention whether or not she used Advanced Targeting Corporation's HITS system while handicapping horses in Kentucky).

The Guardian International picked up on the event writing:

WASHINGTON (AP) - In a slip of the tongue, President Bush brought roars of laughter to the White House welcoming ceremony for Queen Elizabeth II.

The president stumbled on a line in his speech Monday, saying that the queen had dined with 10 U.S. presidents and had helped the United States ``celebrate its bicentennial in 17. ...'' Bush caught himself and corrected the date to 1976. He paused as if to see if the queen had taken offense.

``She gave me a look that only a mother could give a child,'' the president said with a smile.

Men More Positive Than Women...

A New Quinnipiac University Study Finds the Following:

"There is a gender gap in how Americans view the rest of the world and it is men who are more positive than women about foreign countries, especially Iraq, Israel and Saudi Arabia, according to a Quinnipiac University Global Thermometer survey released today."

Here Comes the Queen

Not to be mistaken with the popular band "Queen", Queen Elizabeth the II as she is known will be on public display today at the White House. Following a south lawn 'parade', a review of the fife regiment, and a 21 gun salute, the Queen will enjoy her 4 PM tea and prepare for tonight's dinner with area elite (ATC was not invited to the dinner, but will be present for the south lawn events).

In other news, my inbox is overloaded with special offers. If you need to fly, AirTran is offering a special. If you are looking for a new suit, Joseph A. Bank (who is always having a sale) is offering buy one get one free on all suits, etc. And some very nice guy from Nigeria asked for my bank account number and offered me $1,000,000 for my help.

Rudy Giuliani's campaign manager, Michael DuHaime also made it into my inbox (would have prefered an email from Rudy directly) with a campaign message and a request for me to make a contribution to the campaign. The email said:

"Rudy Giuliani has a remarkable ability to lead. He has a record unmatched in principle and results. He is ready to be President...right now. "

"SARKO" Wins by 6 Pts

In what might signal new found pro-Americanism, Nicolas Sarkozy has defeated Socialist Segolene Royal by 6 percentage points (53% to 47%).

French voter turnout surpassed 85%.

Closer to home, Fred Thompson sounds off on what he thinks during a stop on the left coast in a speech entitled "Facing Our Challenges":

"A lot of Americans have these concerns tonight. They are concerned about the way things are going in our country right now. Some fear we may be in the first stages of decline. We've heard this malaise talk before."

HITS Weekend Results

As Paris Hilton faces 45 days in jail for violating her probation terms, tornadoes rip through the Midwest, revolution takes holds in France, Queen Elizabeth leaves the Kentucky Derby en route to the White House, and thousands of Mexicans strip nude for a new Tunick photo, Advanced Targeting Corporation reviews its results for the weekend.

Unfortunately, ATC did not have time to run the numbers for the Mayweather/De La Hoya fight (thought the fight was watched) - too bad because Floyd has chosen to retire after his split decision win last night, canceling any plans for running numbers in the future (that is unless he goes broke and comes back from retirement).

PREDICTION RESULTS/ French Presidency

Back to the ATC results. The biggest win of the weekend is the accurate prediction of pro-American Nicolas Sarkozy winning the French presidency over Socialist Segolene Royal.

PREDICTION RESULTS/ Kentucky Derby

ATC's patented HITS 133 Kentucky Derby prediction results were mixed at best. ATC did accurately predict that Street Sense was/would be the fastest horse on Saturday. However, due to various other predictors, HITS gave the technical advantages to Curlin/Scat Daddy/ and Nobiz Like Shobiz. While Curlin did not win the 133 Kentucky Derby (largely due to congestion and a crowded field), he did manage to rally for third. HITS will release Preakness numbers ahead of that race. Curlin may still be the favorite

The final overall results from HITS analysis on races 1, 4-10, and 12 are as follows:

RACE 1: Pick, Ginger Punch, 1st
RACE 4: Pick, Next Adventure, 3rd
RACE 5: Pick, Ah Day, 2nd
RACE 6: Pick, Quite A Bride, 2nd
RACE 7: Pick, Appealing Zophie, 6th
RACE 8: Pick, Pussycat Doll, 2nd
RACE 9: Pick, Einstein, 7th
RACE 10: Pick, Curlin, 3rd
RACE 12: Pick, Beautiful Daniele, 2nd

9 TOTAL PICKS: 1, 1st Place, 4, 2nd Place, 2, 3rd Place.
TOTAL IN THE MONEY: 7 or accuracy 77% accuracy.

FINAL: Kentucky Derby Predictions

Advanced Targeting Corporation Announces Final Kentucky Derby Predictions - PICKS "CURLIN" AS STATISTICAL #1

Arlington, VA - Advanced Targeting Corporation gives the top statistical nod to Arkansas Derby winner Curlin who has lately been a racing beast and is trained by the hottest trainer in the nation.

May 5, 2007/ Churchill Downs

The following predictions were compiled using ATC's Highly Integrated Targeting System (HITS). HITS was used last year to win back-to-back-to-back fantasy sports competitions. The HITS system has taken into account 10 levels of analysis to produce this year's Kentucky Derby results.

Race 10/ Grade 1 133 Kentucky Derby
TOP THREE PICKS per HITS ANALYSIS

1. Curlin/ Total Points: 197 - A stat monster/undefeated.
2. Scat Daddy/ Total Points: 189 - Doing everything right.
3. Nobiz Like Shobiz/ Total Points: 166 - Super strong.

The final pre-race odds for the Kentucky Derby will likely give the nod to Street Sense (HITS Total Points: 149). Street Sense is certainly the horse to fear for many reasons, not-the-least of which is the fact that HITS gives the nod to Street Sense for 'fastest horse.' However, due to a number of historical factors and the fact that Street Sense has a rather low earnings report for 2007, HITS has not included the horse in its top three projection.

UPDATE: Saturday Morning

Statistical Overall Best ALL Races (excluding the actual derby): EINSTEIN (HITS Total Points: 140.5) in the 9th

Late Arrivals?

The entries are set for the Kentucky Derby, but what about the presidential derby that is well underway? Is there enough time for a late entry? If former Senator Fred Thompson has his way maybe so. The famed actor is building the team for what some say could be a June announcement.

This from the National Journal's "Hotline" today:

LOS ANGELES -- Ex-Sen. Fred Thompson, who attends his first official political event in Orange County, CA tonight, has authorized a cadre of top Republican operatives to prepare a presidential campaign on his behalf. Republicans said that four circles of Thompson allies are at work. The first, consisting of Republicans with ties to Thompson's home state of Tennessee, includes ex-Sen. Maj. Leader Howard Baker, Tom Ingram, chief of staff to Sen. Lamar Alexander, current TN GOP chairman Bob Davis, and Mark Tipps, a former chief of staff to ex-Sen. Bill Frist.

Presidential Spin

In a sign the that road to the Minnesota GOP nomination is going to be nasty...

From the Post-Debate Spin Room, Reagan Library, California:

“McCain looked like that guy down the street who yells at you to get off his lawn,” said one reporter.

Showdown in Reagan Land

In the first of many presidential debates, the Republicans took center stage last night for the first time. With so many candidates, it was hard to get a lot out of it. Nevertheless, it was clear that some candidates are more prepared than others and command a presidential presence. In many ways, the debate last night was the eqivalent of 'Political American Idol.' Perhaps more interesting than the debate itself was the fact that many of the candidates - and their families - gathered up Chris Matthews' for a photo op at the end. Seriously?

Interesting Quote of the Night

QUESTION: Should we change our Constitution which we believe is divinely inspired -- (laughter) -- to allow men like Mel Martinez, the chairman of your party, born in Cuba, great patriot, senator from Florida, and Arnold Schwarzenegger to stand here some night?
Governor Romney.

MR. ROMNEY: Never given that a lot of thought, but with Arnold sitting there, I’ll give it some thought, but probably not.

Sarkozy Victory in France

Arlington, VA - Advance Targeting Corporation today published predictions on the upcoming presidential election in France. Despite recent gains in the polls by socialist Segolene Royal, ATC predicts the May 6 run-off winner will be conservative Nicolas Sarkozy.

The analysis is based on ATC review of over 100 public opinion polls conducted since the beginning of the campaign. Additional weight was given to recent polling results of the last debate between conservative Nicolas Sarkozy and socialist rival Segolene Royal.

The post-debate poll (reported by Reuters) indicated that 53 percent of viewers found Sarkozy more believeable, compared with a paltry 31 percent for Royal.

Advanced Targeting Now On Leading Search Engines

Arlington, VA - After three days online and ahead of Saturday's Advanced Targeting Corporation's (ATC) 133 Kentucky Derby winner predictions, the website (www.advancedtargeting.blogspot.com) has been picked up by Google, Yahoo, and Live search engines pointing to surge in site interest.

Additionally, ATC has been added to Wikipedia under the page titled "Predictions." More to come as ATC continues to make bold, accurate predictions.

In Case You Missed It...

Hold The Phones, Stewart/Colbert Not A Popular Idea

According to a poll released by Rasmussen Reports, American voters would not support a John Stewart run for the White House (would be nice to see how Stewart would match up against Steven Colbert, Jay Leno, and David Letterman though).

Poll: Jon Stewart in No Danger of Being Elected President
Monday, April 02, 2007

Eight percent (8%) of American voters would definitely vote for The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart if he was on the ballot in 2008. However, 38% would definitely vote against the comedian whose humor provides a scathing commentary on politics and politicians. A 2006 movie starring Robin Williams featured a Stewart-like comedian who ran for President on a lark and became President-elect when the vote-counting computer malfunctioned.

Gallup Priority Poll

American Public's Priorities for their Elected Representatives

This is an interesting grouping of issues. This is not to be confused with the priorities of the American public (for the D.C. under 35 crowd that would be a different list altogether, read: flip cup, etc.).

American Priorities (and general info from the polling):

1. Iraq: The dominant policy issue.
2. Terrorism/National Security: Should be dealt with.
3. Economy: Lower my gas prices.
4. Energy: Nuclear power and alternative sources.
5. Illegal Immigration: Control the flow.
6. Healthcare: Need reform.
7. Education: Good teachers, good results.
8. Morality: Behave.
9. Fixing Government: Listen to the people.
10. Environment: More needed here.

McCain Leads in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina

Much like the Iraq surge, John McCain is also advancing his own political surge to regain momentum in the Republican primary. According to recent polling, McCain has retaken the lead in Iowa.

For More on the Story:

http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/0507/The_first_signs_of_the_McCain_resurge.html

The American Research Group Also Reports:

John McCain leads among Republicans and independents in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. Rudy Giuliani has lost ground among Republicans in Iowa and New Hampshire, with Mitt Romney gaining among Republicans in New Hampshire.
