Holy CRAP! Just had my first look at Intrade in a while...

Obama, who was hovering for weeks in the low 50's, is now riding high at 60%!

And Romney, who had been coming in strong in the mid-40s, is now hovering at around 33%. None of the other Republicans are even close.

Intraders aren't pollsters, but they're pretty good at gauging things like voter enthusiasm and economic trends. It doesn't take a genius to read the writing on the wall for November...
