The Iowa Election Futures Market has Bush way ahead. People are betting Bush wins, contrary to the opinion polls which show Kerry widening his lead.

This can only mean that the Smart Money KNOWS Diebold and ES&S will come to rescue Bush's ass.

Kerry tanked today, losing 7 points. Could it be the Gephart VP rumors? Or is it Wally O'Dell delivering Ohio for Bush?

Or Both?

... The IEM is more an indicator of conventional wisdom, and a lagging indicator at that, than it is a reflection of "smart money."

Kerry went down today probably because one or two big holders liquidated profits on Kerry holdings to sink the proceeds into the new Congressional Markets. I've been resisting that temptation myself.
