This question has been gnawing at my curiosity for quite some time concerning this thread. How confident are you that Romney/Obama will win the election? Just curious to see how confident everyone is...
My confidence......

With 65% confidence I believe Romney wins.

Patience my friend...with the gas price run up in the last couple of months, prices had nowhere to go but down...

Quote:
Another reason for the total U.S. price decline in the latest survey is California, the biggest state consumer, where pump prices fell 49 cents in past two weeks after an extreme price increase a month ago because of refinery problems.
This is the biggest reason IMO...I am stationed in CA and gas prices were WELL north of $5 a galloon for the last month or so...CA has the "summer blend" / "winter blend" law with their gas...refineries had to shut down to switch from one to the other which caused a huge gas crunch. An additional problem was a power outage at one of the refineries...they decided to allow the release of the "winter blend" early to ease the gas prices...

Not me. I believe Romney will be the next POTUS with over 300 electoral votes.

The statisticians seem to disagree. No telling what the bias is, but numbers are better than simply hoping...

That’s kinda my feeling on it, numbers are numbers! Not sure where ones “political desires” outweighs their desire to be correct. For some of these polling agencies…they base their reputation on being accurate. IF Romney is the winner there's gonna be a whole lot of pollsters with egg on their face, regardless of their political bent.

What concerns me is you think you answered some questions. You sound just like the people you rail against. You want someone else to solve your problem. You witness illegal activity by a know felon but don't report it. You see a guy on the dole and you're upset he gets help (I'm upset that he needs help) but you don't offer him a job. You didn't even come up with "A Modest Proposal".

Even Jesus didn't have a solution to the poor.

Sorry but anyone who quotes Nate Silver as much as this guy does is a little squirrly with his facts IMO.

Anyone who is anyone in political polling follows Michael Barone. He has Romney taking it with 315+.

Even most liberal pollsters are starting to admit the electorate loos more like 2004 than it does 2008, yet most polls are using a Democratic advantage that is above 2008 numbers.

How is this for some insight...no I didn't fact check this one yet...

We already know who is going to win the election. The MAJOR UNDERDOGS, Carolina Pathers beat the Washington Redskins at Washington today. In more than 70 years of Redskins history (when Redskins lose at home, the incumbant party loses) tells us the winner is MITT ROMNEY!!!



Okay...almost true

I've said it before here, and I'll repeat it, as I have seen nothing lately to convince me otherwise:

Romney wins the popular vote by a 1-2% margin, but loses the electoral college very closely (a la 2000) by narrowly losing two of the "battleground" states.

Sad as it is to say. It was the R's to win... and I feel they pissed it away.

I've been wrong MANY times before, and I pray this is another... but, my gut says it's not.

So true on that one!

Nope. Landslide Romney.

The demons will send in the sharks big time, though, trying to extend the vote in NY and NJ, and probably SFO just for the hell of it.
