For the past year, Inkling Markets has had a prediction market on the New Hampshire Democratic Presidential Primary, which is now less than four weeks away.

The prediction market was created by the editors of Blue Hampshire, New Hampshire's version of Blue Mass. Group. This market functions like a real bond and stock market, except that it uses virtual money. If participants invest more in a given prediction or value, the "price" of that prediction or value gains; if participants invest less, the "price" goes down.

There has been a big change. Sen. Barack Obama has taken the lead for the first time in many months. He is now at $46.43 per share, while Sen. Clinton has dropped to $35.51 per share.

kind of like the real stock market
panders to rumor and gossip instead of facts

the polls of actual voters show Clinton back in the lead.

another load of anticlinton clap trap

ACTUALLY, I THINK EDWARDS WOULD BE AN INTELLIGENT, HONEST, PLAIN SPEAKING AND JUST GOOD MAN FOR THE JOB....HE DOESN'T COME WITH ANY GARBAGE AND IS FROM POOR PEOPLE AND KNOWS HOW MUCH THE AVERAGE AMERICAN NEEDS...

OBAMA........NOT ENOUGH EXPERIENCE.. OPHRA, WHO NEVER CAMPAIGNED FOR ANY OTHER CANDIDATE BEFORE....NOW CAMPAIGNS FOR A AFRICAN AMERICAN. NOW TO ME THAT IS SLIGHTLY "RACIST" AS WITH HER SO CALLED POWER SHE COULD HAVE HELPED OUT OTHER TIMES WITH CANDIDATES...AND NOTICE THE ACCENT SHE IS USING DURING THE CAMPAIGN STOPS....NOT THE PROPER ENGLISH SHE USES ON TV AND DURING HER DAYS AS A REPORTER... SHE'S PANDERING TO THE "BLACK VOTE" AND THAT'S RACIST TO ME

I think Obama's rise has to do with media celebrity -like Hucksterbee--

be careful what you wish for

Personally, my money is on Barack. He'll make a GREAT president! Can't wait to change the world.

Poor Hillary, she so much looks forward to being President. She just wants the public to let her have her fantasy. If an incompitant babboon can be President, just how hard can it be?

In 2004 market prediction was a better way of predicting the caucus and primary results than polls were. Still not sufficiently close especially in picking up Kerry's and Edwards's rise in Iowa (but better than the polls).

Every analysis of Iowa and NH I've seen shows Obama on top:
