    Romney +300 to win

    Seems pretty high to me for an election that seems to be a coin flip. Think Romney to win NC -500 is free $$

    Not sure where your seeing the +300 line but as far as presidency goes what matters is the electoral votes not the national polls that the media likes to talk up. You can lose the popular vote and win the election (its better to edge out your opponent in many states while taking a dive on others). So basically the line is probably made with the understanding that Obama is leading in the swing states to pick up key electoral votes. That's ultimately what matters.

    Bovada has Repubs winning the presidential election at +300. I know how the electoral college works and most of these swing states are complete toss ups

    I don't know where you are getting your data, but Obama appears to be leading in early voting. That may have something to do with a line shift.

    He does appear to be leading in early voting but from what i've seen most of the early voters have been college students and blacks in urban areas. 2 voting blocks that he already had locked up.

    I haven't seen that assertion. Historically speaking, I was always told that most early voters are elderly.

    Either way, I wouldn't bet against Nate Silver's models. I believe he currently has President Obama at an 86.3% chance of victory. Extrapolating out those percentages to odds, I'd need to get Romney at over +600 to make a wager.

    Think 86.3% is a tad high but I plan on putting a few bets on the swing states. Florida, Virginia, and NC in particular. Think Romney takes all 3. Might parlay them too

    Might be a good bet, I have no idea. I find it extremely bizarre that anyone in this supposedly free world we live in would consider voting for someone who is against the free choice of abortion. The idea is sickening to say the least.

    And some people find it sickening to support a candidate who protects doctors performing partial birth abortions. We all have different set of morals

    Who is this according to?

    If he has such little support outside of liberals, why is this race so close? Surely you don't believe that half of the voting population is left wing.

    Colley Matrix has had Obama winning for awhile, but Romney will win some of the swing states. Just not enough to get to 270.

    Well, that depends.

    If you like Romney, you need to get your ass to the polls.

    If you like Oblahblah, stay home.

    Amen to that.

    And to craig it looks like the Colley Matrix is going off of 2008 results and national polls which have been over sampling Democrats. A lot of 'experts' believe the turnout will be different like in 2010. We'll see tho

    No i dont think that- accirding to the "experts" the polls that are showing him even are using inflated democrats and minority groups. That favors obama. Obama will not carry independants like he did in 08. Also the poll data used info from 08 models where
    He had extrodinally high turn out with minority groups and younger voters. They dont expect thise groups to hit that level again.

    Again im not saying they are right i hope they are. I might look stupid tomorrow come midnight but i think romney wins
