Shorting the stock means to borrow it and then sell it, hoping to buy it back at a lower price.

I don't think they are shorting it, just betting that he is going to win (I would bet on that myself. The polls show Bush in the lead right now).

Yeah - I was hoping the comment would be funny even with the inaccuracy. Going by the moderation I was wrong.
