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 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... ;-)

Per the Corner at NRO, the DNC is already circulating a report from one of the news outlets that the VA and NJ Governor races were more about the local candidates than about Obama. In other words, DNC internal polling shows both will be lost.

If I understand correctly, there is actually money riding on this stuff at InTrade. Expect bookies to know very accurately what their odds are...
