Ken Bickers from CU-Boulder and Michael Berry from CU-Denver, the two political science professors who devised the prediction model, say that it has correctly forecast every winner of the electoral race since 1980.

They say Romney will win it.  Read about it below. Right now sportsbooks have Democrats at -200.  Might be worth a shot.  What do you think?

 Just curious how the model deals with intangibles. We older folks still recall the Nixon - Kennedy debate when Nixon's on camera appearance lost him many votes and some say the election.. At the first of four debates, Kennedy arrived looking well-groomed and confident, while his opponent Nixon, who had just been released from the hospital after two weeks recuperating from a badly injured knee, appeared haggard and was sporting a "5 o'clock shadow" or light beard. Although he arrived in a wrinkled suit and appeared underweight and had a grayish pallor, Nixon refused the assistance of a makeup artist, a decision he likely later regretted. Kennedy clearly "won" the debate, a fact attributable to both his superior comfort level with the new communication medium and his "telegenic" good looks. According to the Museum of Broadcast History, radio listeners considered Nixon's answers to questions to be more substantive and gave Nixon the advantage over Kennedy after the first debate. By contrast, television viewers gave Kennedy the edge, as their impressions were based on how the candidate looked as much as what he said

                       

                                  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

                                     How can I be " all washed up" if I'm so damn dirty?

Doughboy, Good observation there.  I don't think either of these candidates in this day in time will show up looking like Nixon did.  But you never know.  This is the first I have heard of these guys predicting who will win but if they have been right since 1980, that's a huge winning run and something to consider.  Almost as good as Marco's huge MLB run a few years back!

If you follow the smart money(large campaign contributions), you know that Romney is in great shape.

That's not the smart money. That's the bribe money.

It's called smart because dummies don't put their money behind a loser this late in the game.
