Reply #61: yeah, I saw those

FWIW, I thought his main point was just that Intrade had a very different margin than other sites -- the right way of investing to beat that margin was not my main interest. (And I didn't think the post had anything to do with polls.)

But I totally understand how a ridiculous initial claim can distract one from whatever else someone might have been trying to say. At this point you must know at least five things someone can say about exit polls that are (almost) guaranteed to elicit a response from me, and which have basically nothing to do with whether Kerry won, much less election reform. I just can't stand the stupid.
