36. You're supposed to do more than that
Borrow and beg, anything to max the investment.

Also, you probably can do better than Intrade. I would check reliable fixed odds sites. It would be best to spread it around.

The strategy would be to handicap public impression, and therefore the odds, leading closer to election day. Does Obama lose as a favorite, or does McCain surge to the chalk? Obviously you want to get down at the best possible point in time, from an odds standpoint.

I realize this thread is designed to focus on helping Obama win, a magical fix. Screw it. In a hypothetical like this I'm thinking of myself. :)
