Everyone has their favorite way to predict who will win the Presidential election. Amazon likes to keep track of Halloween mask sales. Supporters of either candidate can buy rubber masks of each to wear for Halloween. So far, 57 percent of the masks Amazon has sold have been Obama masks, versus 43 percent for McCain masks.

The weird thing is that is right around the same number that McCain is getting in the latest tracking polls (Obama is tracking closer to 50 percent support).

He’s got links to all the latest polls, election prediction markets, truth scorecards, and studies measuring media bias.

Or you can just buy a mask. I’m not sure if they’ll let you in the voting booth with that, though.
