I know this doesn't mean much in so far as the electoral college is concerned, but, in the court of world opinion the President is winning in a landslide.

Have you listened to the Steve Harvey or Tom Joyner morning show lately? Are you really counting on black people to stay at home when the battle cry against racist, conservative 1950 America is being sounded throughout Baptist and A.M.E. churches, barbershops, and hairdressers? Do you really think Hispanic voters are just going to sit at home with all that's at stake for them? Yeah right.
I agree with this in regards to a lot of black voters I know. Even my family members in Ohio, most of whom have already voted and who are encouraging everyone via FB to go out and vote because they listen to a lot of media sources them of the evilness of Romney lol. I do listen to Tom Joyner for about 30-45 minutes every morning and he is always touting the president and he is just into this right now trying to fire up black people. Obama will even be on the program tomorrow. Tom is pretty funny in regards to his fanaticism of Obama but I like the show, it's pretty funny.
Michael Baisden is worse than Tom when it comes to getting black people to see Romney as evil. I think whites who don't know about black media fail to realize how many black people these programs reach. I think Tom has about 8 million listeners. Michael about 10 million. Steve Harvey has about 7 million. Not only black people listen to these programs but between those three, I would bet that almost every black person of voting age has listened to one of them recently. I don't like Steve Harvey's show (they don't play enough music) but I hear him on Saturday mornings while driving my kid to soccer games and he even is speaking about this election and "firing up" black people early Saturday mornings. I honestly do think that most black people are more fired up now than in 2008 because they feel the president has been disrespected based on him being a black person. On these shows you hear about the groups, mainly the Tea Party who have signs about "take our country back." They feel they are being disrespected and even though not every black person agrees 100% with the president, they will come out and vote for him in almost as large numbers as 2008.
I love how you guys seem to put so much weight in Intrade like it is some valid source....just looking at Ohio it has Romney up 54% and Obama at 50%....so there is 104% in Ohio?
Anyway, whatever works to make you guys think you are onto something.

Intrade's a prediction market, a valid source. But for this topic, it is just another data point that documents one of the biggest slides in electoral history. You probably won't catch on before Obama's concession speech.
[edit: Obama 52-Romney 48 on Intrade, biggest one-day loss in this epic slide for Barack. My sympathies to you.]

Again, it is a prediction market that really doesn't seem to be based on anything other than people's love for gambling....unless there is something scientific about it that I am missing.
Still in its states poll it has Ohio with 104% that is factually incorrect....now if those numbers added up to under 100% then I would give it credit for accounting undecided, but when it is over it makes me question their methods.
I think it is just a vague speculation site that too many Cons seem to be invested in as if it is the word of God.
