and the winner is....
Romney with 52.9% of the popular vote. They predict Obama to only capture 218 electoral votes, well short of the needed 270.
According to the study, they have correctly predicted all the winners of this election since 1980.

Oh ok. Thanks for the information.
hope this comes to fruition
wow, I'm an alum and I had no clue about their spot on predictions.

What is so impressive about this....other than 2000 and 2004, all the other elections have been won by wide electoral margins.
Isn't there a fairly decent probability that somebody just flipping a coin could do this?

How stupid. Most of these elections were determined well in advance. Other than Bush/Gore most people would get these right.
Although I hope I'm wrong, I think they missed the mark in 2012.
God, I hope they're right. Seeing Obama kicked out of the White House will truly be a delight and a great thing for this country.
I'll put a large amount of cash on them being wrong barring any major events between now and November.
Romney is virtually unknown the the public at large. Except for the most educated of society, Romney is basically an unknown. Even so, he's running dead even in national polls and is within striking distance in virtually every swing state (except New Mexico).
There are 2 party conventions, 3 presidential and 1 vice presidential debates (yes, that's Paul Ryan vs. Joe Biden). Plus Romney and the GOP are sitting on a bunch of un-used cash just waiting for the fall campaign ad blitz. There is a ton of stuff that will happen between now and November 2 that will tip the scales one way or the other. This election has not even begun.
It's going to be very hard for me to vote Romney in NOvember. I'm sure I'll hold my nose as I do vote for him, but Gary Johnson is a far more attractive candidate in my opinion.
I think some of you who have doubts should read this article about my man Romney, or should we say R-Money as his friends call him.
Romney wrote a good op ed piece in the WSJ today
