Nate Silver's Numbers Indicate Probable Obama Win, World Agrees

An anonymous reader writes "The state-by-state election outcome probabilities today on Nate Silver's 538 imply a 97.7% probability for Obama to win 270 or more electoral college votes this coming Tuesday. A site that allows anyone but U.S. citizens vote seems to indicate that the rest of the world hopes these numbers are accurate. "

Vote for the Mormon or you'll get the Muslim. Communism is NOT THE ANSWER.

As a Brit, I honestly have no idea whether this is parody or not.

Please, share your anecdote about how bad President Obama has been for you personally. Did he kick your dog?

No

[Anonymous Coward]

He ate his dog.

No, the dog was securely strapped to the car's roof.

Obama or Romney, doesn't matter. Drones and indefinite detentions for all suspects.. and the banks get all your money.

In other news - aluminum foil manufacturers see bright future.

For a long while I thought Mitt's official twitter account was a parody account.

So we can vote the right way! How will I know who to vote for if I don't know who everyone else is voting for?

Lots of information there on Romney's policies and ideas.
Why not simply inform yourself, rather than repeat these tiresome and slanted charges planted in your mind by partisan news sources?

Because if his website is anything like the public appearances of Romney himself, it changes content based on the state your IP address maps to.

Yes, but God created Americans to be raped ...

Don't you even listen to the Romney version of Christianity?

Funny

I think the original poster is saying that an 86.3% chance will come true 97% of the time.

Between him, you, and me, one of us doesn't understand statistics.

[babblefrog]

I know people who really think Obama is the anti-christ. What the hell kind of anti-christ would he be if he couldn't even get re-elected?

The USS America is a pretty big boat.

Apparently it takes decades to take a minor course adjustment towards the left. But if you want to move to the right, it can turn on a dime.

As a European all I see is the Muppet show with Kermit Obama shouting "Five minutes till curtain" to Mitt Piggy backstage. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are obviously Statler and Waldorf.
Maybe I'm just old.
