Nate sliver is now giving R Money a 14.5% chance of winning down 11% since Oct 28 LOL. The binder full of women & the whooper about jeep shipping jobs to china comments ended his run

Yeah, Nate seems pretty confident.
We'll know (probably) in less than 48 hours.

Wisconsin +3
Michigan +6 wow
Minnesota +8
Washington +7
California +15 wow
Colorado +2
Connecticut +13 wow
Hawaii +27 wow

Total partisan. It's definitely too close to say one way or the other.

That is what the media and the Romney camp wants you to believe...the latter, to keep the base energized and the former, to keep viewers interested.

If the election was based on the popular vote, you would be correct! However, it is not, and the few states that matter are going to Obama. That is why it is a close election, but not close on who will win.

His model has been in place for the last 6 election cycles and I didn't hear the Republicans whining when it predicted a big Republican win in 2010. It's still the exact same model. I'm sorry you're unhappy with the results but they're still completely scientific in nature with no wiggle room, it's simply plug & chug without any personal input at all, it's just reality. Even if you don't like it.

Default Romney hasn't a chance in Frankenhell to win

The race has been over since the DNC, but the media doesn't want to show this because it's in their best interests to keep the suspense as high as possible.

Romney knows he hasn't a chance either because his ads are lying more severely now, in an all-out desperation effort to sucker in votes. The man has had 18 months to give the details of his plans, yet he hid his taxes, avoided his Bain record, made a fool of himself on foreign trips, looked out-of-place and uncomfortable around foreign leaders, flip-flopped all over the damn place, lied in the debates, was annihilated in the last two debates, failed miserably in his VP pick, and so forth. The Electoral College does not favor this goon by a wide margin.

14.5% is absurdly high. The actual election is a mere formality. Enjoy President Obama's second term.

Who is R Money?

Is that some new rapper?

Is he related to 50 cent?
