How in the H*LL can these numbers be so far apart considering what today's polls are showing?

Probably because of the bad poll yesterday? The one with Obama ahead 9 points?

This places operates off of the news of the day, not anything else. They also had Bush down on election day, because of the media’s bogus exit polls.

Not anymore.

And Mitt Romney was over 80% to be McCain’s VP. So much for that.

They’ve only been separated by a few points everytime I’ve seen it, that’s why something seems CRAZY! Especially since McCain is mostly UP right now!

Don't whine about it, it's a money making opportunity. McCain is under valued. BUY BUY BUY!

Just relax.

InTrade is a consensus interpretation of the Presidential contest by those that trade the contracts.

A lot has been happening in the past couple of days. Until the polls settle down and the traders see the trend, it will continue to gyrate.

So an all-out Marxist, sympathetic to terrorist supporting nations, is better?

I wasn’t really sweating it, I was just wondering why he picked up such a huge advantage since he hasn’t done JACK SQUAT to earn it!

They must be believing that lame ABC poll that came out with NOBAMA ahead by 9 points or something!

Do you need a Whaambulance or can you walk over to the Obama camp on your own?

Don’t even waste your time trying to be logical with idiots. It’s futile.

BTW, you should have welcomed him to FR.

yeah.....right.....you’re spamming all posts. So, you were a McCain supporter (was GOING to vote, was GOING to send money, was GOING to tell friends) and NOW you’ve just had it. Okay, take your vote, your 25.00 and your 2 verry verry best friends and go vote for Barry. We’ll do it without you.

Maybe the europeans have just learned that Obama is about ready to launch “Operation In your face!”

I just averaged down on my McCain. I bought a bunch at 49ish. I can’t believe he is down like this. Oh well, buying opportunity.

I think intrade is garbage as far as predictive ability of political candidates...and I don’t understand what else it’s good for, either. I have several acquaintances that this this is a crystal ball.
