Y’know, the “Don’t get cocky” thing has always annoyed the crap out of me. GET cocky. Vote. Bring all your friends to vote. Ignore the blithering idiots in the media and annihilate this broken ideology. Then tell all the friends you didn’t bring that you made a difference, while they were sitting on their butt. Ideally before the polls close.
Intrade is based in Europe and has a very large international user base. It is largely driven by european news outlets and is skewed considerably as a result. In US-centric trends, it is often very inaccurate.
It takes several weeks to set up an account and wire funds to them– unfortunately. I was planning on shorting the crap out of empty chair as well.
Don’t get cocky? How about nervous and apprehensive instead? Because I am so there.

I’m hoping for something along the lines of millions of liberal talking points robots crying out, and then suddenly being silenced.

What’s up with Intrade? It has Obama at 73.6% odds of winning.
Should we go long Romney, short Obama and live on the beach for 2 years?

Seriously, though. I’m confused by the discrepancy here.
