that's what i was waiting for... as we move to closing time for VA, that line move tells me VA is getting more and more hopeless, and OH and PA also slip away...

its 420 now,  but anybody who is playing obama at those odds doesnt remember what happened in '04       al the exit polls and all this crap had kerry winning and he went from a nice sized underdog, to a favorite... how did that work out...   not saying obama isnt going to win,  but to lay 4-1 or 5-1 is just not smart money management.. then again, we are gamblers so what do we know about money management

I got Obama at -227 a few weeks ago.

Why Obama will win:
1. Gay rights to marriage.
2. Women rights to an abortion.
3. Black voters will vote Obama simply for being black. America's negative history of segregation and slavery.
4. Tax the rich. Cut taxes on the middle class.
5. Finally ending the 10 years of 2 wars which has been financially draining to America.
6.
Obama's 21 million Twitter followers. https://twitter.com/BarackObama
Obama's 31 million likes on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/barackobama
Romney's 1.4 million Twitter followers. https://twitter.com/MittRomney
Romney's 10 million likes on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/mittromney

so because there are a bunch of idiots who don't understand american politics that are pounding obama, that makes it not a coin flip, lol.  Pound Romney, this thing is going down to the wire folks.  Book it.

I'm sorry, but it's just hilarious watching people freak out because the line went slightly down this afternoon.  Ohhhhhh, someone must know something....black helicopters.   

I honestly don't know how some people make it through the day. It's like some people were already looking to hedge out of their Obama futures before any of the results came in.  

You can't make it up.

This line is not finished moving....I expect this line to lose 30% or 40% upon the close in virginia...

watching intrade.com live right now and wsex live markets...I expect to be able to get some more down on Barry; even if he can dump Virginia, he can still win the electorate easily.

in 45 minutes this should get interesting.

Finally an intelligent VETERAN poster chimes in.

When MR pulls this out,  I just hope my book pays me on ALL my wagers

Does it necessarily mean anything at all? 
_________________

By definition, it has to mean nothing.  You think lines move for no reason?   The important question is whether it means anything IMPORTANT.  And I'll leave that up to all the experts in this thread as I don't have a dog in the fight and I like to laugh a lot.

Crusher, I see that kind of language going both ways.  It's interesting how both sides are confident of victory.

Fox News has Romney up 19-3.

At this pace, he will win 478 - 18.
