Obama landslide? Could happen.

Courtesy of Business Insider:

With two weeks to go before Election Day, a new Reuters/Ipsos forecast released today predicts an Electoral College landslide for President Barack Obama over Republican rival Mitt Romney. 

Obama leads Romney by a point in the Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll, 47-46. But results from Ipsos' tracking in key swing states leads to a projection of a much bigger Electoral College victory. The Ipsos projection has Obama winning the big three swing states of Florida, Ohio and Virginia. 

Ipsos' final Electoral College score: 332-206 

332 to 206 electoral votes? Now THAT is some very interesting news.

Oh and by the way, that whole weird uptick for Mitt Romney over at Intrade that somebody kept bragging about in the comments section? Totally faked, most likely by some Romney supporter.

Remember, if you have confidence in your candidate, you don't feel the need to fake poll numbers or  attempt to manipulate market shares in order to convince others that your guy is NOT having his ass handed to him by his opponent.
