New Tradesports rankings

Intrade (the new name for Tradesports) punters think that Clinton is more electable than Obama. My take is that they are both massively overvalued.

You sometimes get wacky results with fringe candidates because the liquidity in the market is so low (sometimes the last trade on the Presidential contract for a minor candidate and the nomination trade for a candidate can be days apart) . Given that both Hillary and Obama contracts are extremely liquid, this isn't an issue. In any case I'm not a fan of using Intrade as a good measure, but I just thought it would be interesting.
