If the polls are tightening (like the Freepers keep telling us), why haven't they....

...bought the Hell out of McSame shares on Intrade. It'd be the world's easiest money, no?

Or am I missing something here?

1. they are waiting for Obama's tax breaks?

:hi:

[Tiggeroshii]

2. I'm thinking about buying McCain shares.

Just so that I could be happy about something if the impossible and inevitably heartbreaking takes place on Tuesday

4. Buy enough shares to get that new place in Toronto, eh.

..and some fuel and munchies for the drive North.

:hi:

5. haha seriously!

7. Hate to say it, but I've thought the same thing.

You could clean up betting for McCain. But if you lose...you still win.

3. Don't you have to have money to do that trading

I don't think collecting aluminum cans on the beach makes you enough money to do Intrade.

6. Mom won't give them any allowance?

:shrug:

8. In all honesty...

Polls are tightening...have you seen Drudge? McCain 48, Obama 47 in Friday's one day polling.

10. You gave yourself away in a hurry.

That's Zogby's normal crap polling. He would have us believe that the race is not as Gallup and ABC suggest at a stable 7-9 point Obama lead but rather all over the place day to day. The more stable a poll is, the more reliable it is.

11. I did think it was odd..

A 6 point swing in one day? But is the the 3 day average or the one day polling? One day is believable, but not if it's the news 3 day average.

9. I know nothing about stocks so forgive me for being stupid about

this stuff. But how can there be McCain stocks to get shares of?
I thought stocks were only for companies.

12. It's because the nuts have taken over that site.

I'm an ex-freeper folks. It was one of my favorite sites for over a decade. But this election cycle has taught
me that the conservative christian movement is bullshit. I'm now a left-leaning independent.

Anyway, I think the decent "let's sit down and have an honest discussion" members of that site have accepted the
fact that mccain is probably going to lose, so what's left is the extreme, radical, racist element of the republican
party and those folks aren't exactly sane. So don't expect sane actions from them.

13. Welcome to DU!

I noticed the same thing lurking over there this month. Glad you made it over here.
