Over at FiveThirtyEight.com, they're giving McCain only a 4% chance
of winning the popular vote, and less than a 1% chance of losing the
popular vote but still winning the election. Meanwhile, McCain's
Intrade stock has dropped to 16.5, his lowest since winning the Rep.
nomination, and down from 53 following the RNC.
