I'd probably be pissed off too if the only places I could published were Front Page and Meridian.

Care to put money on that Droopy? Let's call a "bloodbath" a 7.3 point Romney victory - the same as Obama's over McCain. Do you want to bet 1 thousand dollars over whether that happens? I'm sure that can be facilitated somehow. I suppose you could also bet your entire life savings on Romney in intrade right now as Romney is going for around 37 cents. That means if he wins you get paid 1 dollar for every 37 cent share you buy. If you think he really is that far up despite trailing in polling and almost every credible prediction modeling system I'm aware of, that's a killer deal. Want to screecap you spending a massive amount of money on that for us?

Obama is a modest favorite right now. He is consistently leading in both national and electoral polls. The most sophisticated forecast modeling is consistently predicting Obama winning in a relatively tight contest. It is, however, close enough that it's basically 60/40 - 70/30 proposition. Romney certain could win, but he's a dog right now and he isn't likely to win by a lot barring some unusual circumstance. Droopy's unsourced claim that Democratic internal polling suggests it's going to be a bloodbath is completely up in the night. And if it were true, he could make a boatload of money on his hidden knowledge.Bob Loblaw wrote:My guess is that it will be close in the popular vote, but Obama will have a big advantage in the electoral vote.

Anything can happen at this point.

Droopy has a paintball range. He has the paintballs and the guns ready to be rented or sold. He has the helmets and protective gear. He has a Slushie machine and a hot pretzel machine for between games. He has two different arenas for those busy Saturday afternoons. He's produced a top notch product. Why does it fail? He has built it...why do they not paintball?

I'm betting he's listening to Dick Morris, the guy who is consistently wrong about pretty much everything (while claiming to have solid inside information), and who is predicting a Romney landslide.
Who could forget his prediction of Condi over Hillary in 2008?
