InTrade Market odds: Obama: 90.5. McCain: 10.4

They say the "Futures Market" is the most accurate predictor of political outcomes.

The safe money appears to be on an Obama win.

7. Intrade
They are betting on Missouri for Obama again.

The fact all the gamblers are betting on Obama 90 to 10 should say something.
