This doesn’t have anything to do with my calculations, which were taken from Intrade, not from polls.

Anyway, that’s great news! You saw a couple of days ago there was a Michigan poll that had McCain ahead by 1?

The problem with using Intrade to predict is that people invest in Intrade for the short term as well as the long term. From what I have been able to tell, Intrade is fine at reflecting how people feel at the moment, but is a lousy predictor of the future.

I could have made a fortune on Intrade voting for McCain and against Romney.
