Intrade again accurately predicts election winners
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 11:34 PM by antiimperialist
Traders betting on Obama, Huckabee wins in Iowa
Wed Jan 2, 2008 3:19pm EST

Obama, seeking to become the first black U.S. president, was seen by the traders as the likely Democratic winner, with a 46.2 percent chance, compared with a 32.9 percent chance for former first lady Hillary Clinton, midday trading on the Intrade futures exchange showed. Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards trailed at 21 percent.

Huckabee, a former Baptist preacher who appeals to Iowa's social conservatives, led the Republicans with 70 percent, compared with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at 35.1 percent, Intrade trading showed.

The thing is most predicted who would win.
