CNN has a game on their website (it caught my attention on TV) to pick the VP.  Its similar to InTrade played with fake money.  Among the people currently trading on the GOP side? 

MEL MARTINEZ

You know, a guy who is ineligible to be VP having been born in Cuba Tongue  What is wrong with the media?

Explain to me why this makes them retarded. It's called a mistake. You've probably made one or two yourself.

dude, DWTL, the people trading it are the ones you should consider retarded.  all CNN is doing is providing users with a "market."  these users are the ones willing to spend points or whatever on Martinez, nor CNN itself.  you should hire some sort of fact-checker.

The guy on CNN was acknowleding Martinez as a legitimate choice.  I would assume CNN compiled the list of who could be bought and sold as well

"Retarded" is not the preferred nomenclature.  "Simple," please.

I guess you can make big, big, moolah by shorting all this stock.

Plus there's no Capital Gains Tax to pay!

I'm not sure how not knowing that the junior Senator from Florida was not born in the U.S. qualifies one as "retarded".
