ScienceDaily (Sep. 17, 2008) — A new approach to determining which candidate will win the most electoral votes in the U.S. Presidential race factors in lessons learned from the 2004 election and uses sophisticated math modeling. The research will be presented at the annual meeting of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS®).
As of September 16, the margin in electoral votes could be as high as 282.8 votes for Senator John McCain against 255.2 for Senator Barack Obama, depending on the forecasting scenario.
Operations researcher Sheldon H. Jacobson, a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, along with a group of students and collaborators at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, created http://election08.cs.uiuc.edu/, a math model that dynamically forecasts the outcome of the election.

I hate math
I will not be surprised if this guy turns out to be correct. The chickens are coming home to roost, let us see how many are there on election day.
Knowing the lies coming from the lefties, I expect nothing but their exclamations that Obama is winning all over the Country but, as in New Mexico printing 2 million ballots with a population of 1 million, one should suspect fraud and deal with it as quickly as possible and have proper inspections of those DemocRATs running the machines.
Operations Research is not the same as Climate Studies. OR tends to be more ‘reality’ based.
Not likely. :>)
You’re right, ‘rat vote fraud is hugh and series.
This time around, though, I hope the anti-Hussein chorus reaches into every nook and cranny of America, and his Socialist agenda for America is rejected loud and clear.
“Unfortunately, the study doesn’t take into account Democratic vote fraud.”
An important factor
The prediction may be right, but a computer model to predict the future is still just another crystal ball.
Vote fraud is the “finagle factor” that has to be put into all engineering equations to make the numbers come out with and sort of match the real world. Excluding this “finagle factor” puts this whole equation up in the ideal realm.
Wonderful to behold, and we should all be that good, but deucedly hard to achieve.
After the events of last week it makes me wonder why anyone thinks that the Electoral College will be used to decide the POTUS election this year? After all, the Constitution now lies in tiny pieces on the floor of the Federal Archives.... I also wonder what would make someone want to inherit charge of the fiscal mess Jorge and Congress are leaving behind?
There are only three kinds of people in the world, those who hate math and those who don't.
LOL

Oh look, three more full ballot boxes in the trunk of my car ... the Chicago way.

Would be great to see more ads of Rev. Wright with that statement about the Chickens coming home to roost!! AND other rants with the picture of Obama’s arm around him....Let’s remind America of what is at stake and what kind of “friends” that would be walking in our WH!!!
Be afraid, be very afraid.

Absolutely. Without Democrat vote fraud Bush would have won Wisconsin in both 2000 and 2004. We can thank
Obama-like “community organizers” from ACORN and other Democrat groups for that crime. Much of the contentiousness of the 2000 Florida recounts would have been diminished—or would not even have happened—if Wisconsin had been in Bush’s column, as it rightly should have been.
