This might mean something. Then again it might not.
Opinion polls suggest that the Presidential race could be close. However, those people who are willing to place real money on the race seem to be favoring Bush. According to This is London:
Tradesports chief executive John Delaney said digital odds offered by his firm's customers imply that Bush has a 54.2% to 56% probability of winning. 'We are seeing some of the largest individual trades we have ever seen on this exchange, including $100,000 from one client as an initial trade,' he said.
It's possible that those big single bets may have been placed for the purpose of swinging the odds or drawing some U.S. news media attention to the bettor's favorite. Be that as it may, at the time of this writing Tradesports.com has Bush bid at 55.3 and Kerry at 44.1.
