(78 posts)7. Chances are Nate will be wrong on some predictions
Let's hope this is one of them and not one in favor of Romney.
The North Carolina OFA people seem super pumped to prove the pundits wrong and more importantly, re-elect Barack Obama.

Even if Romney wins it will be razor thin.

which has been linked to a decade of scamming.
