RealClearPolitics and Intrade announced today the launch of ‘Fantasy ’08′ – an interactive trading market focused on the 2008 U.S. elections.

“We are thrilled to expand our long-standing partnership with Intrade to offer readers a fun, competitive and insightful trading market that captures the excitement and interest in the 2008 election,” said John McIntyre, co-founder and Managing Editor of RealClearPolitics.com. “It represents a great way for our readers to act on all of the information RCP provides every single day, from the latest political news to the most up to date polling information included in our RealClearPolitics Poll Averages.”

Individuals who play ‘Fantasy ’08′ will receive an account with $10,000 RCP dollars, which they can use to trade on a nearly unlimited number of markets related to the 2008 election. Who will be the Democratic and Republican nominees for President? Who will control the House and Senate? Who will be President? Players on Fantasy ’08 can trade these questions, and many more, according to their own passions and opinions – just like they’d play the stock market. Up for grabs are bragging rights between friends and colleagues.
