PA now at 94 Obama at Intrade
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 04:42 PM by Jersey Devil
Was it always that high? Sheesh, it is higher than NJ at 92. Do they know something about turnout we don't know?

6. OK... the OP didn't, but I just looked -
Here's the website. If you click on a state, you'll see at the top of the page 2 numbers, blue and red, and I think it's the percentage bet of which way the state will go. So if PA is 94% blue and 6% red, Intrade thinks it's 94% likely that PA will go blue.

4. Some people want to make an easy 6% return on their money
Not a bad idea really.
