I think that 47 on intrade means a $47 bet pays $100, so those odds are better. Again, I don't know this for sure.

I hate to be "that guy" but here I go: The mainstream media* are wrong. They are vastly overestimating McCain's chances based on national polls, which are worthless. He could still win, but I'd put the chance at <25%. Nothing trends well for him, and he has to win every tossup state and defend in places like NC and IN where he shouldn't have to. He's in a heap of trouble. Also, the media don't want to report a bunch of "this thing's over, right?" stories so they act like it's closer than it is. They did the same thing in the primaries. Obama basically locked the nomination up on March 4 (I think that's the date. Whenever TX/OH was.) and the media kept acting like it was neck and neck until June because it was better for ratings and an "easier" story to report. So there.

* Anyone who says "mainstream media" a lot is not someone you want to be friends with.

yeah i hate it when the Media make a contest seem closer than it is.

like a sports commentator saying "they only need 1 more goal/run/bit of magic and they are back in it folks!" when it's never gonna happen.

i also saw some old guy on FOX that said the Dem's membership is like 40m to the Rep's 20m or something. big head start thurrrr iyam. god Obama better win. i will do my stalkerish best to meet him when he next comes to UK.

That's been the case forever. There are a skillion people who are registered Dems and vote for GOP presidential candidates. My mom, dad, and grandparents are all registered Dems who will vote for McCain, who will win KY by like 30 points even though there are more dems than reps in KY.

EDIT: My mom might vote Obama, but I doubt it.
