Ezra has called it for Romney. Not good. That’s like Schultzie calling for a Riders win….never a good sign. So is Barone. Dick Morris is back-pedaling a touch.

A bit unfair to Ezra. After all, the Alberta PC’s made a deal with the public sector unions at the 11th hour. The NDP vote thus, disappeared electing the PC’s.
Has O’bummer got a rabbit up his sleeve? Wait and see. The Benghazi affair should get him impeached if he wins. Bigger than Watergate.
I believe the MSM has dismissed the great unwashed America that exists between New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and other large liberal cities that house the elite. The so-called silent majority is breaking for Mitt Romney as they begin to become acquainted with the horror of Benghazi. Thanks to the bloggers and Fox News, Breitbart, American Thinker and others, the word is getting out and Americans are fed up with being lied to and played for fools.
I am not going to make a prediction. There are just too many wild cards out there in the mix, and the polling data is just too close.
Not just that, but it is hard to decide which poll to trust.
Gonna just hunker down and wait for the results to roll in.
The CBC poll; 90% of the 10% CBC viewers like, pardon me LOVE and WORSHIP Obama,the rest of Canada, probably about 40% for Obama.
Some people are easily swayed by good looks and a half decent speaking voice, they usually vote for the likes of Obama,Layton, or the “Dreamy Justin Trudeau”.
We old cynics expect some substance behind the rhetoric,the naive just want to feel good for a few moments.
I STILL “like Ike”.
Polls have Obama leading in Ohio and possibly Florida. It’s pretty obvious Obama’s going to win. Anyone calling a Romney landslide is completely disconnected from reality.
LAS I think you are the one disconnected from reality.
Last word trying troll.
I’m not supporting your habit, shill.
But I just fed you again………
Suck somewhere else.

Given the Obama non-performance with Sandy and the Benghazi thing, plus 2010 election, Chick-fil-A and my experiences watching people spontaneously rant in stores about Obama…
…my money says he’s done like frickin’ dinner. He may -steal- the election by shenanigans, but he’s in no way going to win it.
If I’m wrong, it’ll be awesome fun watching the impeachment proceedings.
Romney by 10%? Someone needs to beat Ezra with an idiot stick.
To all those who are declaring Romney in a landslide… or a Romney win at all.. When you go to bed on Tuesday night, with the knowledge that Obama won, as the polls are predicting he will…go to bed and say to yourself, “Look how much my personal bias and ideological, partisan self has contributed to my inability to accept reality. I’ve been drinking the Kool-Aid. I will stop drinking the Kool-Aid.”

I’m still reeling in shock about this one;Mitt Romney’s family has had a cottage in Canada for over sixty years!
They’re calling it his “Canadian White House”! Good thing THIS scandal wasn’t brought up in the debates or Romney’d be toast!
It’s gonna be close and that’s what makes it exciting! And on the upside, a second Obama term will mean bargain basement prices for cross border shopping (and real estate)!

THIS.
Sadly I think o bummer will win and like Preston manning Romney may have been the best president America never had
I get the impression that its very undecided and the limbo-voters will hold sway. Both parties must know that and the one with the right lastminute cajones/hijinx,etc. will win..iguess.
I did some hasty checking on what I believe I saw and heard on CBC. Ipsos/Reuters poll had claimed that 90% of Canadians thought President Obama would win the election. 10% thought that Romney would win.
For one moment I thought it was a slip up on my part ie: Whom did they THINK would win? Might be different as to who they would hope would win. Luckily Ipsos/ Reuters broke it down further. 86% Canadians hoped Barack Obama would win. 14% Canadians hoped Romney would win.
I think CBC pounced on the 90% number.
Prayers for the Republic from this corner.
It’s always hardest to unseat the incumbent. All the betting sites still favour Obama, the sharp money is on Obama. Ezra just added the kiss of death.
“My argument, rather, is this: we’ve about reached the point where if Mr. Romney wins, it can only be because the polls have been biased against him. Almost all of the chance that Mr. Romney has in the FiveThirtyEight forecast, about 16 percent to win the Electoral College, reflects this possibility.
Yes, of course: most of the arguments that the polls are necessarily biased against Mr. Romney reflect little more than wishful thinking.
Nevertheless, these arguments are potentially more intellectually coherent than the ones that propose that the race is “too close to call.” It isn’t. If the state polls are right, then Mr. Obama will win the Electoral College. If you can’t acknowledge that after a day when Mr. Obama leads 19 out of 20 swing-state polls, then you should abandon the pretense that your goal is to inform rather than entertain the public.”
-Nate Silver
Vegas has Obama by about 66% to 33%. So if you’re sure that Romney will win you could stand to win a lot of money; but you’re probably wrong.
Take heart people, this is going to be a Romney win. Even Nevada and Minnesota are swinging to Romney.
The early voting numbers are a huge disappointment for Obama. Most polls are a based on similar turn out for Obama as 2008 and this is not going to happen.
Republicans enthusiasm is huge in comparison as they will crawl over broken glass to vote. Ohio polls showing a Obama lead are showing D+ 9 or some other ridiculous Dem turnout advantage that is absurd. Obama couldn’t get 3000 people and Romney is getting 30,000 at last night’s events.
This is going to be a 4-7 point win for Romney Micheal Barone is right.
No, Claude. The polls you read, while ignoring everything else, are possibly showing this. The trend when you aggregate all of the polls shows otherwise. Nate Silver almost nailed the electoral college numbers in 2008. His formula accounts for everything you’re clinging on to. For your own sake, begin to accept the fate of your candidate. It’s easier this way. And after election day, please refrain from making allegations of a rigged vote or anything to such effect. Sour grapes, sore losers, they’re all just so tiring to listen to.
Obama is revealing himself too openly in these last few days. People, except those cheering, will be able to see him for what he really is. No, not a communist, but a mean, ugly man with a huge smile.
I think another two days of speeches like today and he may lose some of his followers.
Vote for vengeance isn’t going to sit well with a lot of people especially the way that was handled by Romney today. Vote for love of country will resonate with a large number of the undecided, and possibly some Democrats.
I’m beginning to be much more hopeful. They have to destroy themselves, just like the Liberals did.
Guess where Nate Silver blogs.
You’ll never guess, not in a million yea… heyyyyyyy?
Went to look at his #’s here.
http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/author/nate-silver/
He’s an Obama supporter that uses a bunch of polls and then weights them.
For instance he’s using a Sept 19th poll from Fox News in his sample which showed Obama winning Ohio by 2 points.

The presidential debates started of course on Oct 3rd.
My election prediction is:
We’ll NEVER see J.Garret again after tuesday.
In case anyone cares to look, they could go to National Post on-line. Titled jokingly that Americans need not go to the polls – Canadians have declared it, there follows a breakdown of voters.
True the numbers sampled were 1735 “at random and over 18 years old”. There follows multiple graphs with Democrat in blue and Republican in red. Absolutely devastating. Even those who are Conservative supporters can only muster 29% that would vote Romney. Every single instance of male, female, province, and age group and so on are majority Obama. Only one is a tie on the economic factor for one province.
I am stunned. Could Canadians be wary of the pollster and his/her expectancy? My very last wish is may certain people be crying in their coffee later.
National Post- online.
