Hey guys…Bob Barr just entered the race as a Libertarian.

Hillary has a better shot than Barr of winning (i.e. none) so its a bit shocking that he has a higher probability of winning than she does.

Barr started high, since you can’t start anyone lower than the avg of the market. He’s been sinking since he announced.

Background information

Click to view original

On November 4, 2008, Americans will elect the 44th President of the United States. Who will it be?

In all likelihood, the winner is in this market. If viable non-listed candidates emerge, they will be floated at $1.

EDIT – I tried to float Bloomberg at $1, but it wouldn’t let me. I hope that doesn’t cause anyone too much trouble. Right now, he seems a little high to me.

Edit 2 – I just floated Mike Huckabee. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to float a new stock any lower than the market average, which is currently third place.

Candidates will not be closed out. The market will sort out what value a candidate has, bottoming out at $0 as they are elimated.

The winner of the 2008 Presidential election will be closed out at $100. All others will be closed out at $0.
