Yes, at www.intrade.com

Hilary is trading at 24% and Giuliani around 20% for presidental election! They trade on party nominations as well.

You're looking for event derivatives. I don't know if anyone is trading presidential election futures, but I recently came across an interesting article on this subject. It might be helpful for you.

We can use spreadbetting to bet on many things including presidential nominations. Spreadbetting is very popular in The UK and Europe, but I don't think these markets are leagal in The US, though.
