Very few US citizens are actually trading on InTrade. You have to make your purchase through an offshore account. InTrade is basically a bunch of foreigners making bets on what they think the outcome of the US election is going to be.

Good luck with that.

3 out of the last 5 Ohio polls have Romney ahead. I wonder if Nate Silver has access to internal polling like he did in 2008 from the Obama campaign (He signed a confidentiality agreement).

Axleface must have clued Silver in on their plot to steal this election with enough welfare leeches, illigal aliens, university scum, government workers, unions and the large dead constituency to re-elect the Chicago Thug President.

I find it interesting that we are seeing a slow drip of good news leaked out from internal polling by Romney...but NONE from Obama. All we see is "all is good" type stuff.

Leads me to believe they don't want to talk about what their internal polls are showing.

Careful drawing too much into what this cretin says.. He no doubt has a close relationship with the inner workings of the Zero Campaign, telling him stuff that is making him double down on his outlandish predictions..

Either they are purposely throwing this young up-incomer, under the bus, or they are allowing him in on the plans to steal this election, that they are convinced will not be challenged until it is too late, if ever..

Intrade is simply people “betting” on who will win...the price and hence implied odds is determined by who is buying more of which candidate...it is easily manipulated and democrats use it for propaganda purposes...

Doesn’t mean a thing folks!

Nate Silver, Nate Silver, Nate Silver! Who IS this Nate Silver?? I follow politics fairly closely but I swear I don’t remember him from other elections (or do I have to be a DU’er to know?)

Which 3 of 5 is that? I'm not seeing it on RCP, or on the Cook report.

Having a fun time dissing a clown who runs a one-month old polling firm called Pharos. He cites that the NE senate race is a dead heat yet when questions are raised on the methodology (under samples R’s, over samples D’d for example) as well as comments saying his poll is an outlier and predicts Fischer (R) will win, you just gotta roll your eyes and go “mehh”.

As to the polls in general, let me quote an old advertising saying (Alpo) in the 1960’s, “Sir, they’re not eating the dog food.”
