IAC, do you take a chance on having this guy one heartbeat away from the presidency?

Biden told a crowd of 1,200 in Lakewood, Ohio Sunday that a Republican ad claims: “President Clinton bankrupted Chrysler so that Italians could buy it to ship jobs overseas to China.”

ok, rjb - let's see some equal time from you for Reverend Wright, et al.

0bama's persoanl influences are guaranteed to be far more cautionary than anybody who votes Republican, given equal exposure.

Even Guatemala has surpassed the US now. Guatemala requires photo ID of everybody before they are allowed to vote.

Real Clear Politics has Obama leading in 10 of their 12 battleground states. Romney leads in Florida and North Carolina.

Final Gallup Poll R: 50%, 0: 49% 'allocated'

WaPo/ABC poll: Obama 50, Romney 47...

Heading into Election Day, likely voters divide 50 percent for President Obama and 47 percent for his challenger, Republican Mitt Romney, according to the latest, final weekend release of the Washington Post-ABC News tracking poll.

In other significant events, the Million Muppet March wound down after Washington DC briefly seethed with sock puppets chanting "El-Mo, we won't go!" "Don't take the Cookie Monster off of Food Stamps." an itinerant Big Bird pleaded while Kermit the Frog proved there were no flies on him by eating them off of Democrat politicans that vote for public funding of PBS.

Polls are not useful all by themselves. Particularly national poles.

538

538 now predicts that Obama has a 91.4% chance of winning and will likely get 314 electoral votes. Nate Silver will either look like a genius or goofball tomorrow.

44971. arkymalarky - 11/6/2012 5:24:31 AM

91+% is still not 100. If his model is flawed or if Romney beats the odds and there's nothing wrong with the model itself, anyone at this point could look at the flood of polls and conclude the same. The pollsters are who will need the scrutiny if Romney wins.

44972. arkymalarky - 11/6/2012 5:28:25 AM

If Sillver said anything from 51-99 he'd be right or wrong, but the impressive thing in '08 was that he was right wrt the states--49 of 50.

44973. arkymalarky - 11/6/2012 5:31:25 AM

Iow, silver analyzes existing data. He doesn't collect it. Based on current polls and other factors (he's very open and frank about his methodology), those are Romneys odds.

44974. arkymalarky - 11/6/2012 5:38:25 AM

Does Tom Brokaw get on anyone's last nerve besides mine?

44975. winstonsmith - 11/6/2012 5:50:02 AM

Even though Silver is just working with the data provided by the pollsters, he has his own formula for weighting and interpreting the data. If he is way off on what states Obama wins and what the margins are, it will both call in to question the validity of the polling data and his method of processing it.

I like him and want him to turn out to be as accurate as he was in 2008. If for whatever reason he is way off, he will look bad.

Yes, Brokaw, last nerve.
