Is Vegas holding higher odds or is just one odd maker? A google search turned up several links for Wayne Allyn Root and not Vegas oddsmakers. Wayne Allyn Root is a capitalist evangelist and serial entrepreneur. He is a former Libertarian vice presidential nominee. He now serves as chairman of the Libertarian National Campaign Committee
An excellent article on why President Obama is still favored to win the election. As an example, a state like Ohio has remained friendly to the President. The closer it gets to Election Day, Ohio is more likely to actually for Obama because Romney is running out of time to shift that opinion. Very few states cross each other so the rankings are consistent. An exception would be North Carolina. NC leaned towards Romney in the beginning, drifted slightly to Obama and now back in Romney's grasp.

I don't even know if I would say that about North Carolina. All this speculation about North Carolina is based on one poll by a company called Gravis Marketing which is a relatively new pollster (it is also a questionable poll since it has Obama winning 40%> of people 18-24 which is highly unlikely. North Carolina is and always has been close as evidenced by the most recent Rasmussen poll in which Obama gained a point versus their pre-debate poll. Additionally another poll that was conducted mostly post debate by High Point University has Obama up by a point.
North Carolina is going to be all about about turnout and thus far turnout is higher then last time.

Yesterday, I posted that Romney could not win without Ohio. I just came across Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight analysis from the NYT, showing that it would be possible for Romney to squeak by without the Buckeye State.
Here's how....
Lots of close calls here (e.g., Iowa, Nevada, Virginia) . But it IS possible for Romney, whose numbers continue to grow even as the first two debates recede...
I still think Romney will win, but Liberals should be so thankful that they get 30% of electoral votes needed from just two states. If they didnt have NY and Cali locked up as liberal states every year, they would be in huge trouble every election. A Republican has to work harder to win an nationwide election when over electoral votes are locked in for liberals off just two states. The majority of the country is not liberal, yet two states alone give them the advantage.
Actually the latest forecast for Election Day (as of 10/13) has Obama at 61% and 283 electoral votes. He has lost 24 points in his victory certainty and 35 electoral votes in one week.
