If you saw 2.3% for RP, it was probably on Fox News--they report, you decide! [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

9.1% at least keeps Paul's name out there, and makes it a slight bit harder for the major media to completely ignore him.

They're still doing a pretty good job at ignoring him. This was linked in the Politics forum:

All,

Let's email this to countdown@msnbc.com. Keith Olberman basically makes a living by making fun of Fox News. He's also extremely anti-war. Countdown airs in the same time slot as O'Reilly. If they get a bunch of emails about this, there's a very good chance this could get some airtime.

No idea -- I don't have cash on there. I'm not even sure if it's in the same category as poker as far as the legality issues go.

At one point, the DOD was developing a terror futures market where people could trade contracts similar to Intrade on world events. Also, its my understanding that Intrade split off from Tradesports. Is there a chance that the split was because of legality issues that that Tradesports is hoping Intrade will be US legal?
