Intrade shenanigans from last night are starting to recede [View all]

At one point last night, Obama's price on intrade was down to 52% due to market manipulation by big-money Romney supporters.

It is back up to 57% today and has been rising all day.

All the improving poll numbers for Obama have caused the money on the President to come rolling back in. And these folks are going to make a lot of money because of the shenanigans the Romney folks played yesterday.
