Deluded Republicans excited at this junk model predicting a Romney win :)

To begin your day with a smile at their stupidity and the bubble they were in until their rude awakening on election night, just go to google and search 'model predicts a romney win' and see what comes up . Here is a snippet from theblaze.com playing up a predicting model designed by 2 university of colorado professors which predicted a romney landslide. Who needs facts, reality, and the tested Nate Silver's model when you can have Dick 'always wrong' Morris' prediction of a Romney landslide right out of his fat ass, Peggy Noonan's 'feeling', and these two nut professors who can design a model to show their guy Ronney will win big, right??? I even heard a local right wing radio nut masturbating while interviewing one of these professors and agreeing a certain Romney victory, facts and real polls be damned . Here is a quote:

Their 2012 model made headlines two months ago because, despite polling, it found that Republican presidential candidate Romney would win 320 Electoral Votes, stealing the White House away from President Barack Obama. Now, an updated version of their study has come to the same conclusion — but it intensifies the numbers behind a predicted Romney win.

Despite the fact that polls still show a dead-heat race (Obama is currently at 48.2 percent, with Romney capturing 47.3 percent of likely voters in the most recent Real Clear Politics average), an updated election model shows an even larger gap between the Electoral College votes that Romney and Obama are projected to win. According to Bickers and Berry, the Republican challenger is projected to take 330 of the 558 votes, while Obama is expected to capture only 208 of them.
