Intrade 2008...

Those of you who have followed my blogging since my UCI days will remember Tradesports.com. Several months ago they gave the non-sports wagering over to Intrade.com. Well, today I decided to check the state-by-state electoral college prediction for the 2008 presidential election. It stands at 311-216 for the Democrats. The only state that is a true 50-50 toss-up is Missouri. It's too early to give too much weight to those numbers. The volume of trading is really low and the impact of the conventions and VP picks haven't come into play. I plan to keep closer tabs on the site after the conventions - that's when the trading and accuracy will pick up.

Feeling the buzz of a political high,
Brad
