McCain up a point on Intrade this evening. Manipulation?

[Hokie]

Is this more market manipulation as was reported earlier?

1. No. That's just normal market movement.

2. I noticed that too, but it's hard to get too worried at 87-13.

3. I don't see any big poll movements tonight

Zogby must not be moving or Drudge would be hyperventilating.

4. Hardly, it's very typical

Many speculators are willing to take high odds on an outcome that previously was expected to be close. In fact, in the long run it's good strategy.

5. The stock market went up 300 points today. The better the market does between now

and election day, the better for McCain. Though it wont ever be enough for him to win, it is enough to impact Intrade by 1 measly point.
