Poss, I recall you talking a while back about the parallel realities in coverage of the US election – in one, Obama is going to win in a landslide, in the other it’s 50/50.

I guess we just found out which reality McCain thinks he’s in…

With 3 days to go before the Democratic National Convention, it’s going to be interesting to see what changes in the next two week cycles. Leading into the current numbers we have had Obama on vacation while the McCain Campaign has been pushing negative content but in the last couple of days things have been going the other way – McCain’s how-many-houses drama combined with a media perspective that he’s pushing his POW card way too many times.

That play map is the sort of thing Antony G does here, and they are such fun, eh?

I’ve just been looking at Intrade state prices on their site and noticed how steeply the odds have moved over this year on various states, and you have to say the punters are well ahead of the national polls in these markets. In fact it’s quite funny reading the national press, who seem to think it’s all ‘quite close’ and are somewhat perplexed by that.

Not too well informed, are they?

But we, on the other hand, have Possum! LOL
