What...

"This was a draw" => "This was clearly a victory for Romney"

Huh???


xDaunt insists Gallup is accurate.

I don't think that the current polls are reflective of where the election is going to be. Democrats are still bing oversampled in a lot of polls, reflecting turnouts closer to 2008 (or even more favorable to Obama) rather than 2010 turnouts, which this election will be much closer to. Even with those lopsided samples, the polls have clearly moved about 10 points towards Romney and are still moving in his direction. Long story short, I'm not pulling shit out of my ass when I say that Romney is going to win. There is a method to the madness.


nate silver is still predicting a 40 point EC victory for obama with 67% certainty of victory.


67% certainty of victory.
But he is never making short-term prediction, everyone of his prediction are based on fundenmentals, but he doesn't exactly know when it will happen... So using these kind of narrowed "who-is-right" empirical analysis makes little sense.

You're smarter than to believe Dick Morris. Believe actual aggregators, be they RCP or 538, regarding how accurate the state polls have historically been as well as their methodology.

Additionally, 538 and RCP have both debunked the "oversampling" claims. Claimed party ID is not a demographic variable, it's a fluid attitude. And tea partiers are calling themselves "independent" these days...

Let's not forget that midterm elections are usually more erratic in turnout.

I think Romney may have been "altitude sick" this time around, but not as severely as Obama was in Denver.

Or that Republicans are nowhere near as heavily behind Romney as they were behind the Tea Party in 2010. I mean, play the tapes of these debates and he'd have been run out of the primaries as a laughingstock.

I only listened to it, but I don't think Obama really said anything memorable, aside from the "horses and bayonets" joke, but that was a joke, no real substance.

Pretty safe to say the CNN poll will be about +10 for Obama, based on previous differences in the polls.

The thing is, in close debates that are boring as hell as this last one was its zingers like those that stick with people and then they associate it with the winner.

Romney "lost" the actual substantive parts of debate but came off like a vulnerable puppy. In the effects of the election I feel like Romney ended up "winning" as Obama's (mostly factual and fair) attacks did something that republicans have failed at for 6 months, humanize Romneybot2k12.
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

well you expect it to be about 50/50 so i read that as 3% romney admitting they lost and 24% romney fans denying the obvious!

In trade went up to 60% for Obama

how does that work? If I bet 10 thousand dollars on obama how much do i get the day after the election?


If you buy shares at $6.00 for obama. then you'd get $10.00 for every $6.00 you put in if you were correct.
