So far early voting shows an Obama edge.

Nate uses statistics and algorithms putting an emphasis on state by state polling. Nate predicted the GOP House takeover in 2010 too. Math isn't biased.

I know of many democrats who have voted for Romney.

So having said that, until the votes are counted on election day we'll never till then know the tally.

Your supposed anecdotal evidence < math.

Sorry.

We'll see on Tuesday if he's wrong for once and he could be wrong like any other human being.

There's so many polls, etc, etc, etc., but the ultimate decider is the vote count on election day.

Everyone predicted the 2010 gop takeover. It wasn't unexpected, like in 94.

Happy Trails Mitt, we barely knew ya.
Romney's not partisan enough for FOX...unless of course they desire an unpredictable unscrupulous flip-flopper and liar. Seems like they'd have a problem with someone who could randomly flip-flop from the nights talking point. FOX does like to stay on message, no matter how outrageous it is.

While the MSM has utterly failed in informing the public of the closeness of the election, and of the downward trend of the President's numbers, Obama's narcissism and Alinsky-esque roots may preclude his going on national television and calmly telling his "folks" to go home. Is there any doubt that Obama would certainly embrace organized agitation and post-election street violence after a Democratic loss? Such banana republic tactics would sends a clear warning to all Americans about being more careful about for whom they vote in future elections.

Nate's not alone. Here's nine more statistician's who don't give Romney a chance.

Nine 2012 Electoral College predictions have Obama ahead
