SISU Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I don't think it's about size, as much as it should be based on efficiency and effectiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetcoaster Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Well, the loser in this election will be the American public. Regardless of who wins, that country has no way of turning their economy around to what it once was. That world is long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baercheese Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Massachusetts should be pro Obama as well if I'm not mistaken... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dittohead Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 And yet Obama has a 100% chance of winning the state according to Nate Silver of the FiveThirtyEight blog: http://fivethirtyeig...or/nate-silver/ In the Massachusetts election on Tuesday, Mitt Romney is expected to see his home state's 11 electoral votes go to President Barack Obama. The latest polls show Obama with a comfortable lead over the former Massachusetts governor as voters in the Bay State cast ballots in the race. http://www.huffingto..._n_2040957.htmlhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/06/massachusetts-election-2012_n_2040957.html' rel="external nofollow"> Go figure, eh?

nux4lyfe Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I think it will be close and won't be surprised if either win. those who think the world will end if Romney wins have the wool pulled over their eyes. it's a turd and Crap sandwich take your pick.

Wetcoaster Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 What makes you figure he's biased? From what I've seen of Silver's model it is much more balanced than any of the individual polls released over the course of the campaign; this is particularly evident when you look at how it is compiled. It is certainly more "scientific" than any punditry being thrown around. That said, I would agree that any forecast is just that - a forecast. It provides a look at one possible result and does not constitute a result in and of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tearloch7 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Really not "nuff said". Read Wetcoaster's last post. I figured if you had any interest at all in criticizing Silver you'd have at least bothered to be familiar with his record. The only reason I give the "forecast" caveat is because Silver himself has gone to pains to explain the difference between his model and actual results. He explains very clearly why Romney even has a 9% chance rather than 0% - and the reason is the possibility of systemic bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretzky's Mullet Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Exactly, Some people need to get off Obama's....only reason people want to vote for him is because he is 'likable', if you break it down, Obama or Romney your essentially voting for the same s*&$! .

M A K A V E L I 96 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 There's a black panther opening the door for people at a Philadelphia polling place. Fox calls it voter intimidation. They're lining up their ducks in a row for reasons for Romney's eventual loss. http://video.foxnews.com/v/1950507559001/member-of-new-black-panther-party-spotted-at-polling-place/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Why is there a popular vote and an electoral vote? Isn't the electoral vote the only one that matters? You need 270 to win, so that makes the popular vote irrelevant, or..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
