Politics and Predictions

So the last couple of weeks have been full of politics.  All of the hoopla aiming to affect a future event - the election in November.  Want to see the odds of a particular outcome on Nov. 6?  Or how about the odds that we will get a Category 3 hurricane this season?  Check out Intrade.com .
