Romney is toast provided people actually show up to vote.

19.1% a new 22 day low. The "nowcast" gives him only a 17.1% chance so as we get closer to Tuesday those two projections will merge.

I'm thinking a 1 in 6, to 1 in 7, chance of winning. Tuesday morning.

Once again, that link makes no sense, but you guys keep pushing it as accurate..

If the electoria college vote is 303 to 234, then

The probability that a state provides the decisive electoral vote.

Ohio at 49%..

Would be IMPOSSIBLE, because even if Romney got Ohio, that wouldnt be enough to be a "decision" maker..

OH you nailed it bro. I once heard Nate tell somebody there were 3.67 jobs for every unemployed person.

I told my wife. Man is that guy stupid ...who ever heard of a .67 Job? ...What's that? They send you home after 6hours? Pay you .67 what everybody else gets?

You should fax your credentials to Nate and alert him to your discovery.

Oh it's not? Ok

Well nevertheless you discovered this amazing discrepancy that no one else has been able to do.

Please fax your credentials to Nate and alert him!

YOU obviously have full knowledge and expertise in this area.

He's damaging your candidate's chances with his misinformed predictions. Act quickly!

For a second there I almost fell into the trap of trying to give a republican a statistics lesson... but that would inevitably end in me putting a gun to my head and I really would like to be around to vote for Obama next week.
