Here's what the Redskins Rule means: If the Redskins win their last home game before the presidential election, then the incumbent party retains the White House. If the Redskins lose, then the incumbent party is voted out.

Sabato said Obama wins yesterday, but even then he had a couple of big states as too close to call.

Just about every pollster agrees that aPresident doesn't do better than his last poll. No poll has Obama over 50%. The most recent PA poll has that state tied.

Nice of Mitt to drop by today. It was neat.

The Colrado model is solid. Not sure Sabato's track record.

What all pollsters agree is that to win Ohio, you have to have 5% lead in undecided. Romney has a solid double digit lead.

The best analysis I've heard is that the campaigns are using polar opposite models for their forecasting. Tomorrow we should find out who was right. My money is on the guy who lives in the real world

I was responding to the fake thread about the U of Col. economic predictor election model that has Romney winning

Interestingly MSNBC accidentally released the 'results' for tomorrow. Romney eons the popular vote by 10% point but Obama sneaks the win with 280 electoral. Go figure. Ha

If Romney wins tomorrow I think most of the news networks will have their anchors on suicide watch

The second half of that FSU says "voting for Romney is like hitting a different iceberg"

I love Romneys tweak at Obama. Obama says vote for revenge. Romney says Vote for love of country. You know what they say 'Last gaffe loses!" Plus, Biden said President Clinton Bankrupted Chrysler!

Was anyone else at the Romney Rally? I heard some students talking about an incident with Ben Stein in Convo. What happened? I got him to sign a $1 so I can say I won Ben Sten's Money!

Uhm, I actually agree with Dick Morris. Although PA doesn't go Republican.
You are coming around :)

Here is the irony. People in NY/NJ storm area will vote for Obama and bigger Govt. but they are suffering because the Govt is inept at handling the situation. So you are basically voting to continue the ineptitude you are experiencing :dontgetit

And on a side note, I'm ordering food insurance. I know Glen Beck will get a cut but after all of this and the many times power goes out...it's worth it for a 2 week package.

I think if Wisconsin goes for Romney, Minnesota will follow. Both of those states have really embraced Republican government as of late, the citizens of those states realize they've been lied to for so long.

Main difference is to see what happens in Duluth and Minneapolis. Some parts of Wisconsin are Democrat (long complicated story as to why), but Romney must achieve 70% of the vote in suburban Milwaukee to take Wisconsin.

If this is true, Dick Morris' prediction may be in the conservative side. Take a look at early voting and absentee ballots. If they say that's the bulk of their votes....

In a conference call this afternoon, President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign had one central message for their supporters when Election Day arrives tomorrow: They should “keep calm,” even if they hear snippets of information favoring Republican Mitt Romney.

“My warning, we need to stay calm for much of the day,” Stephanie Cutter, Mr. Obama’s deputy campaign manager, said, touting thousands of early ballots already submitted by voters. “We’ve already banked a pretty big portion of our vote.”

:shock:

I'm a big concert goer, but I still wouldn't come out for a Jay - Z, Springstein Obama concert. Ohio is looking good!

TH - Sunday morning is the most segregated time in the US. We actually have an "exchange" program with another inner city church once a year where we swap pastor's. Its cool. Reminds me of my time growing up, although those services were about 2 hours, and the one he preaches now is a smidge over an hour!

Voted at 7:00 this morning, and Mrs. Cider was there by 6:30. :shock:

I voted at the Moose Lodge on Lakeside, where I saw a sign next door for a "Mobile Home 4-Sail" (yes, that's how is was really spelled). :nono
