++DeSart/Holbrooke 281-257, 51.38%-48.62 popular vote and 86.66% probability of Obama win.

++RichardCharnin's blog. The Presidential True Vote/Election Fraud Monte Carlo Simulation Model;

Obama 310 EV. 97.4% probability.

If the election were fraud free, Obama would have 54.2% of the vote and 348EV. The rest of the blog is chilling about voter fraud and whether Obama can escape its fate.

++A blogger ran 270 to Win's simulation over 100 times and came up with 90-95% Obama win. The average EV was 302.

++Drew Lenzer of Votamatic wrote on his blog today that if the models like Nate Silver and Sam Wang fail this election that is the biggest story. The reason is because of a failure of the polls. He explained how the various models handle errors in polls and refuted the right-wing claims that Obama favoring polls somehow have changed the models results.
