I'm feeling better about our chances than ever, to be honest. Everything seems to be pointing to a solid victory for the President tomorrow.

I'm feeling the same. I think it will be a blowout of epic proportions. Can't wait to see the loser's heads exploding!

I think he'll win handily enough but I think Nate Silver knows his stuff.

There Is possible to get to 52 percent of popular vote for Obama and 347 Electoral votes.

We will know when polls close In California,Oregon,Washinton State,and Hawaii Obama won the election.

This is what it would look like:

I'd say the chances of that are about 15% to 20%. North Carolina is the toughest swing state to win, and Nate Silver has Romney at 77% to win NC. If Obama wins NC, there's a good chance he will outperform polls in other states too.
