Chance that Obama will be nominated

News Futures is really cool, you make an account and they give you $2000 on their site (not exchangeable for real money) to bid on things, and its kinda like buying stocks. I bought 10 in Obmama being nominated for $43 each, and then put a bid in for 10 more at $42 (right now no one is selling for lower than $43 and no one besides me is buying higher than $41). Its really interesting, and you get to see people's confidence in things because they put their money where they think it will serve them well. And if you get lots of money (500k to 1 mil) you can start bidding on gift cards and other items, which are real and seem to be good deals.
