Christie leading by 13 points, 56-43.
Go Christie Go!
WOW, hope this holds! GO Christie.
So does Intrade know something maybe the normal joe doesnt?
Apparently. My understanding is that these prediction markets are often superior to the pollsters.
I think it’s more of a feel good thingy... This ain’t over until Christie actually gets sworn in. However, he’s got to beat fraudulent votes, a very liberal and corrupt mindset of a state and so on. I ain’t holding my breath but am praying like CRAZY!!!
I sure hope you're right, but I don't think the ACORN and dead voters are out of bed yet... they have yet to get their busloads mobilized... ;-)
I am too. Until I remember...this is New Jersey.
I dunno. It’s Jersey. One candidate could be up 80%... all that means is the other knows how much they have to cheat to win. Too many criminals and union thugs.
....lets hope the Franken like 30 thousand absentee ballots waiting in Bayonne don’t show up....
Please keep posting updates - I can’t be the only one whose workplace blocks Intrade as a gambling site.
The results are also notoriously easy to jigger with. I vaguely remember rumors of Soros doing something with them during the '04 elections.
If Obama can work for 9 months and get a Republican elected Governor of New Jersey, we may all have to rethink this messiah thing. It may be true!
My prediction: After the counting and recounting, it will be Cristie 52%, Corzine 57%, Daggett 8%.
Keep it up folks. I want Christie to win badly if for no other reason than the fact that Obama went in there personally multiple times to campaign for Corzine.

“So does Intrade know something maybe the normal joe doesnt?”
As I understand it to work, this is a form of betting. There is cash behind each trade, such that the polls reflect ‘money being put where one’s mouth is’.
As such, superior in that it taps into one’s natural instinct to win a bet. Greed is good (at least for polling).
Love that Joisey math.
I'm hoping the unions are so PO'ed about losing their Cadillac healthcare that they won't bother.
