on
election eve. It turns out that
Zogby was calling a statistical dead heat between McCain and Romney, given
it's stated standard error rate, so Intrade wins this round.
Also, after these 9 head-to-head contests, the average Intrade election eve predicted winner percentage is 65%. My hypothesis that Intrade's winning percentage will converge with it's average election eve percentage.
