The betting sites (like Tradesports and Iowa Electronic Market) can be pretty volatile, reacting to scandals in particular. But what we may be seeing is just a temporary Democratic bounce from the Foley scandal. It is unlikely that the bounce will persist until election day. Eventually, things will turn again in the republicans' favor (I hope).

Um, in other news, the Feds banned overseas transfers for betting purposes a week or so ago. Big article about it in Barron's. Online poker is collapsing. So now only Englishmen etc can bet there, Americans have been kicked out.
