    Are you sure this is a good idea Mike? I mean, remember when Fox News called it in 2000? We don't want to be responsible for another debacle like that, do we?

    Obama with a KO in the third. But Romneys estranged mormon cousin to avenge him in the rematch.

    It's too close to call for me. But if someone held a gun to my head and forced me to pick I'd guess Obama. I do however think Obama's vote is greatly exaggerated and the result will be really close. I think we could be looking at a small difference of no more than 50 electoral votes.

    A wild guess, Romney just to edge the popular vote and Obama to edge the electoral vote.

    Obama will run away with it. It's nowhere near as close as the mainstream media are suggesting. They seem more interested in entertaining people than informing them.

    Obama to win with at least 58%

    You realise the polls are not conducted by media alone

    It's a very close race, although Obama will probably shade it due to his lead in Ohio

    Wrong answer! The person holding the gun is an NRA card carrying, Jesus loving, Texas redneck!

    The FiveThirtyEight blog on the New York Times is worth following.

    http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/

    The author, Nate Silver reckons that Obama's chances of winning are over 90%
