That is all that graph was predicting ...not whether she'll be elected. A better graph is to watch Obama's stock which is still quite high compared to McCain...in fact the same as it's been awhile....around 60 vs. 40. Although McCain edged up from 34 in the last few weeks. Interesting that the polls don't correlate in Intrade. Intrade is supposed to be a better predictor but with a very short history. It'll be close no matter what the VP debate is about. <i>However, Intrade is now betting on Palin being withdrawn as a VP candidate. Wow, and that's heading up rapidly although still about 16. </i> Hey, I don’t think that’s relevant as I just clicked there and she’s now UP as she’s got the VP slot.

However, Intrade is now betting on Palin being withdrawn as a VP candidate. Wow, and that’s heading up rapidly although still about 16.

I imagine the McCain campaign has to be disappointed Gustav wasn't enough to keep all Palin's problems off the news tonight. It's just going to get worse. it’s still only a few cents, but I’d happily sell short on Palin right now, were the option avsilable.
