University of Colorado Study Predicts Mitt Romney Will Defeat President Obama
A newly-released University of Colorado study predicts that Mitt Romney will defeat President Obama in November.
Romney will also win the popular vote 52.9 percent to 47.1 percent, according to the study, reports the Boulder Daily Camera.
This study has been right in every election since 1980.
The study crunches economic data, unemployment numbers and per capita income in all states and then calculates a winner.
University of Colorado Political science professor Kenneth Bickers said in a statement: "Based on our forecasting model, it becomes clear that the president is in electoral trouble."
Political science professor Michael Berry, who co-authored the study, added: "For the last eight presidential elections, this model has correctly predicted the winner. The economy has seen some improvement since President Obama took office."
"What remains to be seen is whether voters will consider the economy in relative or absolute terms. If it's the former, the president may receive credit for the economy's trajectory and win a second term. In the latter case, Romney should pick up a number of states Obama won in 2008."

American cities controled by democrats going bankrupt City After City Go Bankrupt Because Of The Debt Bombs Democrats Planted Are Now Exploding Twelve US cities have already filed for bankruptcy in Obamanation; another 27 are considering it. The Democrat Party unions that own Barack Obama have bankrupted America. Our real debt is NOT the $16 trillion Obama has officially given us (it was $10 trillion when Bush left office); it is now well over $211 TRILLION. California’s $500-billion pension time bomb The state of California’s real unfunded pension debt clocks in at more than $500 billion, nearly eight times greater than officially reported. That’s the finding from a study released Monday by Stanford University’s public policy program, confirming a recent report with similar, stunning findings from Northwestern University and the University of Chicago. Former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger tried and was broken by the Democrat majority and the unions and never dared to raise his hands against Democrats or their union masters again. Three big California cities have now declared bankruptcy because there is simply no way to pay Democrat Party-controlled unions their incredibly huge pensions. And Los Angeles is right behind them. Something between 1 in 5 and 1 in 4 California cities are now facing bankruptcy. When you consider California, with all of its major global ports and all of its inherent economic advantages, only the most stupid people in history could possibly bankrupt it. But Democrats have succeeded wildly.
Scranton, Pennsylvania is a Democrat-owned city. It now has less than $5,000 in the bank. The Democrat mayor first tried to raise taxes by 78% – as if homeowners could have afforded paying nearly DOUBLE the property tax on their homes- and then things started to get crazy.
This is the list of Nine American Cities Going Broke all run by Democrats
9. Camden, NJ
8. Strafford County, NH
7. Riverdale, IL
6. Salem, NJ
5. Detroit, MI
4. Harrison, NJ
3. Jefferson County, AL
2. Pontiac, MI
1. Central Falls, RI
America’s top ten poorest cities What do they all have in common? All ten have either never elected a Republican or have not elected one in at least 20 years. 1) Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn’t elected a Republican mayor since 1961; 2) Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn’t elected one since 1954; 3) Cincinnati, OH (3rd)… …………………..since 1984; 4) Cleveland, OH (4th)… …………………..since 1989; 5) Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican Mayor; 6) St. Louis, MO (6th)…. ……………………since 1949; 7) El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican Mayor; 8) Milwaukee, WI (8th)… ……………………since 1908; 9) Philadelphia, PA (9th)…………………….since 1952; 10) Newark, NJ (10th)… ……………………..since 1907.
Three California cities -- Stockton, San Bernardino and Mammoth Lakes -- have filed for bankruptcy so far this year. Moody's said they are not likely to be the last. They are all run by Democrats.
Tel you what. I'll bet you
Tel you what. I'll bet you anything you want to risk that Obama will win in November. The Rethugnicans have done noting but shoot themselves in the for for years. They aren't doing any better now.
Your statistics are as bogus as your politics. So put up or slink away in shame.
Update on 8/27
It looks like Roy has chosen the "slink away" option. I'm not surprised.
JEANNE JOHNSON - WHY ARE YOU
JEANNE JOHNSON - WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING????????You are in no position to speak for "the people of America". You just take care of your little piece of the nation (whatever that may be) and don't assume "the people of America" agree with you.
No sign of that in years :-(

Let's try to predict how many
Let's try to predict how many US Universities & political science professors will contact the media claiming they know who will win the 2012 Presidential election! It's not these people would have any reason to want publicity, or alunmi money. I wonder how many wealthy Republican alumni would be petty enough to drop a zero or two off that donation check if their Party wasn't "predicted" to win the White House? It would be interesting to compare these university predictions with the political persuasions of their weathiest alumni.
"Can't we all just get along"

I look at it like this. if
I look at it like this. if obama wins, we will have a bumbling idiot for a vise president. if republicans win, we will have a bumbling idiot for a president!
If Obama wins, yes we will
If Obama wins, yes we will have a bumbling idiot for vice president and another term of a conman for president. "Hate the rich" they say. Well, Obama now is supposedly rich but not through his business prowess, it is through his political prowess...IE, bribe taking. Remember, he got his experience in Chicago. Everyone liked Madoff also, remember?...another guy charming you and picking your pocket. Now Romney is too nice of a guy to be real effective in tearing down Obama, he needs someone else to do that for him. Do you want a really interesting guy to have a beer with or a business savvy guy to run the government? You are not supposed to love your boss...just appreciate how well he runs the company so you can continue to receive a paycheck and have a job. Back to this rich thing...Nancy Pelosi is stinking rich. Harry Reid is now rich since he became another bribe taking politician (Las Vegas, remember?). I'm afraid Obama will win and nothing will stop him with his executive orders...we will have the next huge amnesty and the Republicans will never hold the presidency again. Those soon to be registered "legal illegal alien" Democrates will run the elections. They will always vote those those passing out the food stamps and benefits checks. All those anchor babies are going to certainly vote with the thoughts and benefits of their parents. This country will soon be run by those with Hispanic surnames then even the likes of Harry Reid will be replaced. Any rich people with any sense will have to figure out how to get their money out of this country as the Democrats will want the large majority of it. Would you work your ass off in college then take chances building a business to have almost all stolen by the government and given to those who have no sense or ambition? The rich studied, the poor partied (or ran across the border). Now the few poor with any idea of getting ahead will continue to have even less insentive to try as more and more will be given to them whether they are Americans at heart or just living here for the goodies while pumping out more paycheck receiving dependants.
The future revelations about Obama and who he really is will be interesting in the years to come long after he is out of politics.
If you would like to improve
If you would like to improve your credibility, and it really does need a lot of help. Try using paragraphs at the appropriate places and learn to use a spell checker.
You're posts may still be rambling idiocy, but at least they will appear semi-literate.
The future will reveal that you and those like you were responsible for the destruction of the USA. A country can absorb only so much stubborn stupidity. It is almost at the breaking point, now.
If you are going to play
If you are going to play English professor try checking over your own posts before hitting that "send" button. I refer to your second paragraph which begins with "You're posts......." and should be Your posts.....careful there, Mr. Smith - you're (you are) being mighty critical lately and doing an awful lot of name calling as if only you are entitled to an opinion.
Kinda hard to have a paycheck
Kinda hard to have a paycheck when your job belongs to Mr and Mrs Chang, none the less the virtual destruction of women's rights. Yup, I'd so vote for the mormon and his VP just because he's a business man and having profit matter over anything else would save America, meaning profit wise better to pay Mr. and Mrs Chang that manufacturing or textile job for $0.50 an hour rather then pay your typical American $7.50 to $8.00 an hour. Good luck with your business savy President.

What did they predict for the
What did they predict for the 2000 election? The popular or the electoral?
Also, God has fired a warning shot at the GOP down in Tampa. If you don't believe in God then and are a die hard GOP ask youself this: What kind of planning was involved when they decide to hold a national convention at the height of hurricane season in Florida? They do not even have a contingency plan. Is this the party you want running the country? Ron Paul 2012.
In a Florida newspaper
In a Florida newspaper continuation of the count, Bush won both...
If this prediction is
If this prediction is correct, they should also feel safe in predicting that the USA, as it has been is finished. Personally, I have predicted that, within the next 50 years, the USA will split into at least two mutually-antagonistic countries.
The scary part is, each of these two or more contrives is likely to have nuclear weapons and no scruples about using them.
Damn James...you got to stop
Damn James...you got to stop this! We agree again...

Apparently, Professor Berry
Apparently, Professor Berry wants to keep his funding even if the numbers show Obama to be a complete failure at least for the American People.
Any doubt about how Chicago Messiah plays is cleared up in this headline; "Labor Department spent $500G in stimulus on green-job ad blitz on Olbermann, Maddow"
