Okay, I know I'm sort of a fanatic about these political prediction/betting sites. But I thought I'd draw everyone's attention to the fact that we seem to be seeing the beginning of the long-predicted (okay, only by me, but whatever) run on the Rudy contract at the two big sites.

Dingbat Factoid: The Intrade markets now give Obama a marginally better chance of getting the Democratic nomination than Rudy has of getting the Republican nomination.
