I don't know if you guys have heard about this, but there is a site, www.intrade.com, which offers up basically the best political projections around. It basically takes a market oriented look at polling and determines who is winning. It was really reliable during the '04 election. By the way, if any of you are afraid of Obama losing, don't be, he is killing McCain right now.

McCain selecting Palin as his VP was a critical mistake.

FYI - Mike Huckabee said Thursday that Sen. John McCain made a “huge mistake” by even discussing canceling the presidential debate with Sen. Barack Obama.

The IEM markets are up as well from last week in favor of Obama. Looks like this one is in the bag!
