Folks, what is the significance of these Iowa Electronic Markets that I keep seeing freepers post about in relation to the Bush -Kerry election?? IS it an actual trading market with investors or rather some sort of political indicator that's computerized and linked to other markets?

I'll direct this to IG, being from Iowa makes her an expert :^P, but would appreciate any insight anybody has.

This thread has a reference to it and says shows Bush still with a rising commanding lead over Kerry.

Thanks.

I am not a student of the Iowa Electronic Market.

I THINK it's real trading, not simulated. However, you shouldn't take my word for it.
