"A couple years ago, there was talk of a government-sponsored futures market dealing with such things as threats to national security. The idiotarians shouted it down."

I agree. I thought that was a brilliant idea. Clearly someone thinking outside the box in trying ot protect America from attack.

what caused the dip on 9-26 for Bush ?

I'm not sure what you mean by a "dip on 9-26".

While the less-than-52% number was going down, the greater-than-52% was going up. To me, that looks like more people getting more confident of a bigger Bush win.

Laura Ingraham had a fellow by the name of James Surowiecki on her program recently. He is a business columninst with the New Yorker. He has a book out entitled "The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many Are Smarter Than the Few and How Collective Wisdom Shapes Business, Economies, Societies and Nations". I think I'll order it. It sounded fascinating.
