Playing the Political Stock Market

So the business school at the university of iowa has created a "futures market" (operated just like a stock market) based on the outcomes/standings of political events/players. It is a real-money market that is open to the general public and operated by faculty at the university of iowa.... so basically you can buy stock for candidates at prices based on their current ratings...
heres some DEM market quotes (in dollars) as of 6PM CST today:
clinton .628
edwards .012
obama .383

just thought it was interesting.....
