Well that settles it, Obama is winning on Tuesday

[DisgruntledVirus]

Time to bet everything on Obama in Vegas!

Short version:

6: Redskins last home game. If they win (they did) it, then the incumbent stays.
5: Halloween mask sales. Whoever sells more masks wins (Obama this year)
4: Schoolastic News poll. Whoever wins the kid vote, wins the presidency (Obama).
3: Vigo County Indiana always goes with the winner (Undetermined)
2: Summer Olympics hosting country. If the hosting country has won a bid to host previously, the incumbent wins (England has hosted before, hence Obama).
1: The tone of last years Oscar winning movie. If the movie that won the Oscar last year ended on a positive note (it did, The Artist) then we keep the current party in office.

While you can perhaps rule out one or two, the fact that all of these support an Obama win is at least somewhat convincing. I look forward to the next 4 years of Obama. His worst is still better than Romney's best.

Most interesting analysis about the election I've read on this board.

Thanks for that.

Nate, is that you?

More scientific than any of those other "polls"

You aren't serious about them being somewhat convincing, right?
You've heard of confirmation bias, haven't you?

Why so serious?

When I think of the millions of dollars wasted and the anguish of so many Americans tortured nightly with nonstop political ads-all when such a simpiler system was readily available it makes me want to cry.

Funny thing this is as accurate as that "prediction" model that came out of some university in Colorado a while back and got so much attention in the newspaper.

A) It's a comedy website. It's satirical in nature. I don't live my life by it.
B) They provide sources, and the 6 things they state have a higher statistical accuracy than any polling.
C) Calm down. Don't get too mad because Romney isn't going to win. The country won't end. The US won't become a 3rd world nation. And women/minorities/poor people will still have rights while corporations won't be given free reign.
