6. Prediction market whose livelihood depends on corporations being allowed to do any damned thing they
want? :-) Of course they're going to hate Edwards and love H. Clinton. So are the clients.

12. Maybe and maybe not, but I'm pretty damned sure that the odds are that Intrade prays to God Edwards
loses. In that sense could one call Intrade a religious institution? :-P

10. If you enlarge their charts, they are inverse of one another.
Obama was up near 70 and now down to 30

Hillary was down to 30 and is back up near 70

16. So this is right now. The contest isn't over yet. Anything can happen.
I for one keep hoping that Bill Clinton keep disgracing the office he held with his intimidation, lies, anger and just all around ugliness in order to maintain the power he has held. Who is running anyway?
