    Well that didn't copy too well. But Nate Silver has Obama at over 70% chance to win Elector college now. Oddly, Pinnacle's odds have followed his predictions very closely for the last couple months.

    It's not a secret that Pinny has some extremely liberal pedigree. And I back them 100%.

    What Justin provides is a better arguement.. It's all about electoral votes, and electoral votes show that Obama is indeed leading.. Things cna change, leans can swing but as of now Obama is leading..

    Nate Silver's model is based on the fool-proofness of the polls and those are based on the exit polls of 2008 where Dems way outnumbered Reps

    He also missed badly in 2010 elections

    I agree with Justin here and it is who wins the electoral college and it is still at 2-1 in favor of the President. It boils down to Ohio and the turnout there also.

    If Romney wins I will personally be selling my home and every possession so I can move to Canada. Canada has it's problems too, but at least I won't need to learn Chinese and won't have to watch the country unravel to the highest bidders.

    I also plan on putting a decent prop bet in cash on Romney to win. Just in case we re-rig the election like with Bush. That money will gratefully help me with my move.

    I got 1200 to your 1 that if Obama wins you will still continue to post a bunch of garbage on how Obama has ruined the country and any f\*g politician that brings up a impeachment bill you will reach in your pants and shoot your nuts off.

    Americans will be fooled again unfortunately John. Obama wins, but at least the right party can take over in 2016 unless he completely destroys this country. I would fight for this country, but not for Obama's mistakes. If we went to war, I'd go voluntarily but not under this leadership.

    I guess finding and killing Osama(Bush searching caves) ,saving the auto industry, and bringing troops home means nothing to you Romnesia backers.

    Facts aren't partisan and most of what I'm reading is not fact.

    Ignoring facts, first sympton Romnesia.

    Second sympton, blaming Obama for 8 years of Bush's complete array of disasters that almost single handedly brought this country to its knees.

    ??????? This is wrong on every level. His methodology is alot more complex than just relying on the fool proofness of polls. Even the comment about 2010 is way off, he predicted 92% of the senate races and 36 of the 37 governors races correctly.

    silvers model 2010



    Actual results



    Silvers Five Thirty Eight blog is one of the most interesting blogs you will read anywhere on politics and just modeling in general. A statistician that can actually write pretty well, there is even alot of sabermetrics in his writings, definitely one of the more interesting bloggers out there.

    Just like it was taxpayers that made this site what it is (ie a group effort). Something that has partially been lost on the higherups here for the longest of times...

    John can you at least increase the max limit obama president election prop to 3000 points instead of 250?

    you don't have to increase romney's limit... just obama. if you do this, it shows us you really are confident romney does have a decent chance of winning the election... and you're not all talk.

    Obama didn't shoot the gun that killed Bin Laden.

    Who bailed out the auto company?

    President Obama on Wednesday said that President Bush was responsible for bailing out auto companies in Detroit, writes the Washington Examiner’s Charlie Spiering.
    “Keep in mind,” the president said, “That the administration before us, they had been writing some checks to the auto industry asking nothing in return. It was just a bailout, straight — straightforward.”
