I was a professional gambler a few years ago and I have several thousand dollars on this election. Below I have listed the sites I use to base my conclusion (Obama win) on:
First, the sites the bookies use to base their odds on:
Odds Checker
http://www.oddschecker.com/specials/poli...ion/winner
= Has Obama at a decimal rating of 1.44 to win. This equals a 69.44% chance to win.
Bet Fair
http://sports.betfair.com/politics/marke...20election
= Has Obama at a decimal rating of 1.45 to win. This equals a 68.97% chance to win.
Second, the online trading exchange market, Intrade:
http://www.intrade.com/v4/markets/contra...tId=743474
= Has Obama at a 62.4% chance to win.
Third, Nate Silver's fiveeightythree blog:
http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/
= Has Obama at a 72% chance to win.
The reason I trust Nate Silver's methodology over that of individual polls is because he uses a conglomeration of all available polls and due to the fact that in the 2008 election he predicted 50 out of 50 states right with only ONE electoral college vote incorrect; and in 2010 he predicted 49 out of 50 states right in the general election. Also, his methodology of collecting stats has been adapted by both MLB and the NFL.
A lot of people very confident about a Romney win (including on this site) but very few willing to put their $ where their mouth is.
By the way, I'm still open for bets.

So, a guy who isn't qualified to catch mosquitoes was able to catch and kill Bin Laden, while the last Republic president spent 7 years trying to catch him and eventually just gave up saying that OBL wasn't that important anyway? OK. I guess that says a lot about the competence of Republicans.

You mean like Bush in his flight suit with a Mission Accomplished banner behind him?
OBL was killed on Obama's watch. You can spin it how ever you want. Bush couldn't do it, Obama did.

The Obama cheerleading is looking rather pathetic now. Both candidates are liars. Lot's of shit happens on a president's watch. It doesn't mean they had much to do with it.

That's why he keeps winning legitimate elections that are cleaner, fairer, and more verifiable than US elections.
Our system--where corporations own everything and everyone in the government--is far more corrupt. Especially because we live under the illusion that it's the paragon of "freedom."
Venezuela was a money-concentrated-in-a-few-hands shithole before Chavez came around--basically an extreme version of the way the US is going. Ain't nothing wrong with spreading the wealth a bit for the betterment of society as a whole (no one, for example, benefits from a bunch of sick-ass people in the street). You can't impose your North American, right-wing celebration of plutocracy on South American, post-colonial realities.
All of the anti-Chavez propaganda originates from these powerful and vocal former oligarchs, who remain rich, but whose cash flow slowed down slightly. US elites, meanwhile, are becoming increasing anxious of the growing ascendancy of South American republics. I love how presidents in this country call Chavez a dictator, when he was more legitimately elected than they were--with bigger mandates and margins.
Stop repeating the shaky-or-no-evidence anti-Chavez propaganda. You're doing the bidding of elites who are pissed their 500-year golden age is coming to an end.

Obama has the media by the balls again. This article shows that by the way they were focusing on Obama more than Romney himself. And thats a good thing.
People want to tag Obama as beta because of how he usually acts. You can't be Alpha all the time. You can't expect him to win by expressing that he's a man. And especially when you're trying to run a country filled with fat feminists and Betas all around.
But then again who in politics doesn't bullshit?
Who cares, vote for Obama so I can keep having financial aid.

And you all act like a bunch of 23 year old bitches when you let your rationalization hamsters run wild. Case in point. The segment of your post that I just quoted. You dismiss Nate Silver and act though he lacks credibility. WTF don't you understand about the fact that this guy's predictions have been shockingly accurate for 3 or 4 election cycles now? Who gives a fuck if the media likes the guy? Well, who else besides you and the rest of your magic underwear worshiping ilk? Seriously dude, who gives a fuck? Does it change the fact that the guy is accurate probably over 90% of the time? Please answer. Please let your hamster run free.
Nate Silver -- the darling analyzer of the east coast elite -- love it.
So I take it you don't look at these guys.
