Updates to The Plastico Page

More reasons why The Plastico should be your homepage:

Going into the final two months of the presidential election there is only one poll that you need to pay attention to: Intrade. Intrade is a prediction market that functions similiar to stock markets. These are real people putting real money behind the candidate that they think will win - not who they hope will win. We have moved the Intrade Real Time chart to the upper right corner of the page - that chart is more accurate and more important than any individual poll. It is the only poll that considers everything. Just for the hell of it - here is current national polling recap from Realclearpolitics.com that shows McCain with a 2.4% average lead. The people at Intrade know that this is still the result of a short term bounce:

RCP Average	09/05 - 09/08	--	48.0	45.6	McCain +2.4
NBC News/Wall St. Jrnl	09/06 - 09/08	860 RV	45	46	Obama +1
Gallup Tracking	09/06 - 09/08	2737 RV	49	44	McCain +5
Rasmussen Tracking	09/06 - 09/08	3000 LV	48	48	Tie
Hotline/FD Tracking	09/06 - 09/08	924 RV	45	44	McCain +1
ABC News/Wash Post	09/05 - 09/07	LV	49	47	McCain +2
USA Today/Gallup	09/05 - 09/07	823 LV	54	44	McCain +10
CBS News	09/05 - 09/07	655 RV	46	44	McCain +2
CNN/OpinionResearch	09/05 - 09/07	942 RV	48	48	Tie

So when you stop by The Plastico - look on the right side of the page for real time polls, real time traffic, real time sports, and go all the way to the bottom for the real time Los Angeles Gas Map. News Feeds on the left side of the page are also real time. What else can I possibly do for you outside of wiping your butt?

Also, here is the only other Intrade chart of relevance for Plastico minded folks. The following chart is a real prediction for the passage of a California Constitutional Amendment to ban same-sex marriage. This chart will not be posted full time on The Plastico because the proposition will not pass for many reasons. But here it is; feel free to follow it on your own time: (Chart shows the percent chance of banning gay marriage)
