Nate Silver has Obama an 86% chance re-election. Nate is a former horseplayer who is a numbers geek. His numbers analysis of electoral races have stood the test of accuracy.

I see that even Rasmussen, CNN, etc. have given it to Obama today. You can't be too far off in the end (Ras is a notorious +4 R bias on their polling methodology)

We see the media totally opposite (of course LOL) - I think the "oh, it's close!" media thing of the past two weeks has been exaggerated, making it appear Romney has a better chance than he does via the polling. This weekend Romney camp realized it's over.

The SuperPacs have already started the "why we lost meme, it was Sandy's fault, not the candidate" to placate the folks that donated a billion dollars to Romney. Sheldon Adelson is gonna be pissed, that DOJ investigation is gonna continue.
