Holy shit... it's Terror Xchange!  Sort of!

It appears to be a stock market for election predictions... only you fund your account with real money.  I signed up for this never imagining that I'd be prompted to actually back my purchases with real money.  I just assumed it was play money like Terror Xchange was... doesn't seem to be the case.

Anyway, check it out... They've got Obama solidly leading McCain on their markets, but I guess all that could change.  I bet this site was a lot more interesting to play with 10 months ago when there were about 40 people running for president.

So I'm told they're using real money because in theory, it makes the graphs and charts more accurate since people are using their own money.  Makes sense I guess.
