Romney is so much a lock that at some presidential election betting sites
Obama is 1/2 odds to win.

That's close to the best odds you can get on Obama - some have him closer to 1/3 odds.
Minor detail (according to the PA-OTG boys)...what do those guys know?
They're gonna clean up on Mitt - you better believe it!
He's gonna shake up the world!!!!

I never said Obama was good odds....why bet him now when there's over two months until the election?
Besides, I would only lay -3.00 on tomorrow being Friday before I went to bed on a Thursday night......

It's clear all those Ward Cleaver/Wonderbread photos flogged here pushed Mittens over the top with Von Ryan.

While ensuring the 4 car elevator construction goes up without a hitch for his boy, Mackenbaum has quietly become one of the greatest smashball players in the history of the game.
Interviewed after his scintillating performace last week on the shores of Giche Gumee, Mackenstool reportedly said, "Those chumps went down like BO is goin' down in November."

The electoral map shows the results along the lines I predict, with the exception of a Romney win in at least one of 3 states: New Jersey,
Massachusetts and Michigan.

Models this year are not likely reliable. (there is one out that has been right 7 elections in a row predicts an easy obama win) Most models predicting a Romney landslide bank on the "if unemployment is over 8 pct, the incumbent loses" thought. But in all of those instances the incumbent didn't inherit a situation worse than what he had in the reelection year.
Whether or not that will matter remains to be seen.
The only poll or model that counts is the one on elections day. My guess -a very close race; one that is too close to call now.

My prediction is Romney wins fairly easily. The polls are starting to tighten and will continue to go Romney's way as people learn more about his life.

Somehow, i doubt this "objective" info has the good folks at ladbrokes scurrying to change their oddsline. Which is 2/5 on obama, btw.
