iReport —
Every heard of the guys who predicted that Bush would carry Florida in 2004 (when 8 out of 10 pollsters were wrong) and thus win the election from Kerry, now predict the 2008 results. The company's name is Intrade and these guys are not your average polsters. The are a betting market and why they get it right everytime is simple: "The power of the betting markets in assimilating the collective knowledge and wisdom of those willing to back their judgment with money has only increased in recent years as the volume of money wagered has risen dramatically." As you can see from the image above, they predict a landslide for Obama
