Vote Romney/Ryan

I started telling family and freinds they could mark me down for 302-310 a week ago. Barone makes me feel safe.
accounting for cheating, peg it at 299 EV’s
predicting Romney in 2008 was “almost on the money”??
.....fully aware that I’m likely to get some wrong. ......
I think Barone must be getting old to make such a confession and to actually make a prediction. He generally speaks in footnotes. His statements are short with unending foot notes
This is what he should do. Tell us what he knows and leave off the footnotes.
He is at the top of the knowledgeable heap
I predict that on Monday or even Tuesday the polls will tighten up again to about even and then on election night Romney will pull ahead.
Here is something to brighten your day. I mean come on... all of these polls cannot be correct. This is no pro Republican polling outfit here. Let me know what you think.

Washington Post-ABC News Poll
This Washington Post-ABC News poll was conducted by telephone Oct. 29-Nov. 1, 2012, among a random national sample of 2,131 adults, including landline and cell phone-only respondents. Results among the sample of 1,535 likely voters have a margin of error of three percentage points. Sampling, data collection and tabulation by Abt-SRBI of New York.
On election night 2004 Barone was on FNC. It was just after 8:00 PM Eastern Time and the exit polling was going big against Bush. The announcers were saying if Bush is losing states like GA then Kerry will be the next president. Barone came on and said, 'Wait a Minute' and proceeded to explain in detail why the exit polls were BS. He was right.
Here is something to think about:
A few people say it will be a big Romney victory.
A lot of people say it will be a close Romney victory.
A lot of people say it will be a close Obama victory.
But, nobody is saying it will be a big Obama victory.
I don’t understand why anyone said there was a Sandy Bounce to begin with:
Romney moved UP in WAPO He moved up in PPP National He moved up in CNN’s latest Ohio Poll He’s still leading in the necessary states to get to 270 (McCain + Indiana, NC, Virginia, Florida, Ohio + one other state such as Colorado).
The ONLY problem today was some statistical noise in Rasmussen which sent people in a ridiculous tizzy. Just go vote!
I was pretty confident about this race up until today, the Ras poll has me worried, but I think this will break our way you've given me some great data thanks!
Dick Morris changed his mind in the last few hours.
Now he says Sandy has put Obama up.
This is Nate Silver’s second time predicting Presidential elections and he’s relied on to be some guru?? LOL.
That’s awesome thanks! :D
You are most welcome.

Intrade is mostly foreigners.
“Northern Virginia Asians may trend Romney.”
First time I’ve heard this, and it makes perfect sense.
Gotta love Barone.
Google is a powerful research tool.
Except in Monte Carlo the drop is uniformly random; Nate is dorking around with loaded D+~n dice.
He was walking back a lot of it on Charlie Rose. Basically what he's saying now, is that his modeling is merely predictive of the odds of an occurrence based on the D+~n inputs.
Which means he's already taking the cowards way out -- blaming it on the polls, instead of his absurd aggregation of those biased, dated polls. Now featuring Zogby-flavored special secret sauce, apparently.
The other thing I noticed on Charlie Rose, is that this doofus thinks he comes across as likable. So I suspect he believes, like every other narcissistic Millenialist I've ever known, that he'll charm his way out of Tuesday's loss.
The reality is, after the election, the NYeT will bury his azz in C18, and make it clear to him that he's damaged goods.
This is good news...almost the same numbers I came up with fooling around with one of the electorial college maps that allow us peons to make guesses.
Exactly.
In 2004, Bush led Intrade but was only at 55 through 2pm on Election Day. From 3pm until well after 9pm, Intrade went in the tank for Kerry. Those f+++++s got skinned alive.
