Just because they've matched nearly every time doesn't mean that he's wrong. Sure it may not be as relevant as other electoral college problems, but I don't see why it can't be brought up as yet another problem (although I wouldn't say "THE" central problem, as he may have implied).

lol, my county has Mitt winning, literally 70% to 30%. This is why voting is a waste of time here.

One question - Should I believe the projections of Fox News? I am hesitant since I know their biased but their predictions do seem okay.
Bill O'Reilly was actually surprisingly unbiased in his prediction, seems like he is staying realistic.

That's why you vote third party in those states.

I sent in an absentee ballot but yeah, I'm in Alabama. If literally every apathetic person in Alabama voted Obama, Romney would still win the state. Kinda lame but that's the electoral college for you.

I feel sorry for whoever placed bets when those numbers were reversed...
Also, BBC just said that a Romney insider told them their inhouse polls give a 5 point lead to Obama in OH...jesus.
