I agree with Super Dave, the polls seem to be pushed toward Communist turnout to the point where Obama is ahead to just within the margin of error, giving the appearance he is likely to win. It goes with the government's Ministry of Propaganda aka mainstream media.

Nate Silver is accepting these poll figures as accurate and scientific, they are in fact neither, and basing his statistical analysis this data under the incorrect assumption the error in the polls cancels out when averaged; in fact the errors are compounded when all the polls are similarly biased.

The wiser political analysts like Michael Barone are calling for a fairly decisive Romney win. If you think Nate Silver knows more than Michael Barone, then you would be wrong.

I respect Nate as a statistician and believe his numbers are probably somewhat accurate, but he is a known Obama supporter so I can't trust in him 100%

The lone wager is now:
Who will be the next President?
Barack Obama -227
Mitt Romney +160


For those unfamiliar with the money line and didn't want to read the longer article, the -250 after the Democrats means that you have to wager $250 to win $100 if you wager on the Democrats to capture the White House. You do not have to wager that much money, however, as you can wager $37.50 to win $15 or $50 to win $20. You are risking twice as much as you will win, which is often the case when betting on a solid favorite.


The +210 after the Republicans means that you will win $210 if you risk $100 and again, you aren't requited to wager that much. You can wager $10 to win $21 or risk $20 to win $42. You are essentially risking $10 for every $17 you hope to win.

Most Hispanics and north Africans are considered Caucasian, soooooooolll you think they're gonna vote for Romney (yes one group is more applicable to the situation, but still)?????

And haven't you guys realized yet it's your fucking socio-economic status which is the basis for most decisions on how to vote anyways. Hence, poor folks vote for the poor mans president (there's a lot more poor folks than rich), and the rich vote for the CEO (a lot less rich people). Using those demographics, it will be easy to see who wins

50% of Nevada's voters have already voted and Democrats hold a 50,000 vote advantage. Way down from 2008.

Expect a Republican tsunami on election day in Nevada, as it goes for Romney.

Think about it: Why would Nate Silver put up BS numbers? The only reason anyone even knows about him is because his numbers in the past have been deadly accurate. Only a complete idiot would provide juiced numbers and destroy his reputation. Say what you will about Nate Silver, but he's obviously not an idiot.

I decided Romney will win, I just now came to the conclusion, I did the math, looked at the poles ran the numbers, and had visions while meditating.

Yep, it's final, ROmney will win, and cannot be changed.

It's hopeless, go home, it is over.

Romney winner, Obama the loser.

Obama is a loser, because he has already lost, he is no longer president, in fact never was, he is a joke, pathetic, he cannot win, you will believe he cannot win, even if you win you will play it over again and again in your mind that he cannot win, until this becomes your reality, and you will see him lose.

Obama loser, obama loser, bammy loser, loser barack, loser obama, non president, you will believe, you will accept, and you will repeat it over and over again in your mind. It will become your thoughts and your thoughts will be fullfilled.
