Nate Silver said if the Presidential race were a football game, we have been in the fourth quarter for some time now. Romney is down a touchdown.

Current electoral college prediction: 320.1 versus 217.9 (advantage Obama)
Chance of winning: 85.1% versus 14.9% (advantage Obama)
Popular vote: 51.6 versus 47.4 (advantage Obama)

Important predictions key swing states:

Florida: 70.3 chance of an Obama win
Ohio: 86.1 chance of an Obama win
Virginia: 77.6 chance of an Obama win
Pennsylvania: 97.5 chance of an Obama win

My personal favorites:

Michigan: 97.4 chance of an Obama win
Wisconsin: 90.2 chance of an Obama win (once again, thanks Paul Ryan)

I personally do not see how even the debates will change anything. For me personally, if Romney came out with 50 zingers, 1 bombshell accusation against Obama, and performed a miracle by raising someone from the dead, I still would not vote for him!
