FOR THE FIRST TIME, MCCAIN CROSSES 50% MARK.
(Excerpt) Read more at intrade.com ...
The DUmmies are going to lose it. The one thing they used to help ease the pain was the “Intrade” numbers that they claim are better than polls because “people are actually putting their money on it” .
snicker.....
Intrade is interesting and thats about it IMO. Only last week, they listed a prop bet on Palin leaving the race and now it appears to be gone. Remember the wild fluctuations in the repub vp race leading up to the Palin announcement.
Enjoy the entertainment, but its a LONG way to go and no time for a touchdown dance.
You beat me to it. I'll ask the mods to delete my thread.
Great!!!!
How much is the total market capitalization for the "stock" for either Obama or McCain? If someone (cough, Soros, cough) were to toss in a million dollars on Obama, how much would that shift the market?
Coming from liberals that is quite ironic.
Does anyone know what happened at about 11:00 A.M. EDT this morning?
That’s when McCain started to spike up.
There was another burst of an upward McCain spike at about 1:15 P.M. EDT.
Does anyone know what happened at that time?
Let’s see—Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh,and a Pig w/ Lipstick?
I believe that the spikes coincided with the media backlash concerning the mystery of the dead fish found with lipstick...

technical analysis of markets showing McCain/Palin breaking out
(trying to sell financial newsletters but analysis is good)
Obama breaks below neckline of head and shoulders top.
McCain breaks above neckline of an inverse head and shoulders bottom.
They mean very little. McCain was trading at 7 cents not too long before the IA caucuses.
Remember presidential candidate Guiliani? He was trading at around 50 for awhile.
I’ve seen, on election day states go from 90 to 5 back to 100. This markets are extremely volatile.
They more or less follow the conventional wisdom. For my part I own a ton of Obama contracts and see this as a buying opportunity. I don’t care who I think is gonna win. It’s just if he does I want to have something to soothe the pain. I consider it a hedge. If McCain wins I’ll be so happy I won’t care about the lost Money.
Q: Does anyone know what happened at about 11:00 A.M. EDT this morning? That’s when McCain started to spike up.
A: JC & SP were scheduled to hold a campaign rally in Fairfax, VA at 11 ET.
Very happy. Everything is turning. All the different vital signs that one can use to take a “pulse” are going the same way. Not too long ago those percentages were 65% Obama/35% Mccain. Just happy and trying to share it.
Oops . . . meant “JmC” for John McCain. Sorry for the mis-abbreviation.

Hype this! Loudly!!
It means nothing BUT . . . BUT . . . it CAN depress Obama’s donor base. It is THERE that the war will be won, and possibly in the next 3 weeks. If he doesn’t have money, the GOTV effort won’t get funded.
They still have the contract on Gov Palin dropping out, it’s just not on their selected or most traded tabs any longer.
