Betting on Sarah Palin's Withdrawal?

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's family issues have, for better or for worse, been dissected by the media over the past few days, despite Senator Barack Obama's urging that such issues should not be part of a campaign. But one interesting side issue that has arisen from that has been the rumor that Sarah Palin will be declining the vice presidential nomination due to "family reasons." What? You say you wouldn't bet on it? Apparently, others disagree. Intrade, an online predictions market (think of it as buying a share in your presidential candidate, for example), has been tracking the chances that Sarah Palin would withdraw, and just about every news outlet in America has picked up on it.
