And the louder the Left screams the better Sarah seems to do. So much better that for the first time the Intrade pay-to-play prediction market — which long has had Obama winning by 20 to 25 points in November — now shows a McCain lead. Unbelievable.
***I love how Intrade has become the go-to place to collect useful political data. I got a lot of flak for it when I was posting Intrade stuff during the primaries.

Yeah, well - were you the one who posted about odds being given on Intrade that Sarah would be dropped from the ticket? The question has to be asked, how much money was behind that bet? Because if I could have had confidence in the site, I'd have put serious money on the line that McCain never would drop her off the ticket. He couldn't afford to, and he had exacted that "lipstick" joke from her by way of saying that she was lashing herself to the mast and would not back down in the face of Democrat/MSM assault.

If I trusted the site and the process, I'd have knocked those odd down radically - or else won a lot of George Soros' money.

That is a stunning turnaround - and it does not surprise me! Thanks for the info.
