What Is Up With Politics Today?

CNN has this virtual political market.  They give you ‘currency’ to buy and sell political possibilities.  For example you can buy ‘shares’ of who the Republican Vice Presidential nominee is going to be.  When I bought Huckabee he was trading at a little over $5 a share meaning according to the market there is a 5% chance he’ll be the nominee.  Pretty freaking cool, huh?  I also bought some shares of Crist while I was at it.  Ok so you can also buy stocks on who Obama will pick, who will win in November, who will win specific states and a few other nifty things.  Also, if you are familiar at all with the stock market you even get a little ticker and chart that shows how your stocks are doing AND there is a list of top traders so you can see how other people are doing.    

This is just the most fun thing ever in the form of political games…actually there is one more that I really like….might just have to tip you on it tomorrow For now here is the link so you can join the political market fun.

Am I a total geek or what?  …uhm don’t answer that.  Do  you have any cool political or economic games you like to play?  Great ways to run the universe from your computer?  Did you check out the political market? How are your stocks doing?  Alrighty…I’m off to be more of a geek
