Where does it say Intrade in the Title? It says

2008 Projected Presidential Electoral Votes as of 8/25/2008

It make it sound like this is a poll. Maybe have the Title reflect this is Intrade. It's misleading,hence some of the reaction on this thread.

In my browser, it's the link to the article immediately under the title.

And the original submitter's comments start with:

Intrade.com is a futures market in which people bet on the outcomes of various things such as the results of elections.

It's misleading,hence some of the reaction on this thread.

It's only misleading if you don't bother to read the article or even the poster's comments for the source of the projection(s). You really shouldn't blame someone else for that.
