mania Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 If you want to know who's going to win, the gambling community in the UK rarely get it wrong and on Betfair you can get 7-1 against a Romney win. Obama to win comfortably! That is great odds to have a 100 pounds on as a little punt. Whoever wins, its going to be close, they are brave odds! I think if the odds makers believed the MSM & based their odds on it they might have been foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Can I just say one thing: It's a waste of time to sit there nail-biting and looking at every little county that comes in. What matters is any shift from previous elections, specifically in a handful of key areas within each state. For Florida for example you'll see all the pan-handle counties coming in and you sit there going 'Yay!" (or "OMG!") Romney is in the lead. But in fact those completely don't matter. Tampa matters. Case in point: "In Ross County, Ohio, home to the town of Chillicothe, Mr. Obama trails Mitt Romney by one percentage point with about 80 percent of the vote counted. Mr. Obama lost the county by eight percentage points to John McCain in 2008." See how that background info is critical; you might just see the figures and think that Romney is in the lead. I get the feeling that many TV news channels don't really mind showing a close race, it'll lock viewers in. But if you value your sanity, this page is really excellent, and updates (with background info!) very regularly: http://fivethirtyeig...ntial-election/ Edited November 7, 2012 by WinnieTheKhwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) As Biden said when Obamacare was signed: This is a BIG #*@_#%R deal! Obama has a chance now to be the GREAT president he so clearly aims to be! Wouldn't it be great if Americans could UNITE behind this two term mandate?

Popular Post Jingthing Posted November 7, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Tomorrow after his concession speech, which he claims he was so confident that he hasn't even written it (yeah, sure), people will be saying Mitt who? He falls completely into public oblivion immediately. Political relevance: bupkis. So well deserved. He lied to the voters way too much about his positions shifting around like a gila monster on yaba, and if he had won, it would have set a really bad precedent that such tricks worked.
