Romney wins in a landslide -- Las Vegas oddsmaker doubles down on prediction
Fox News ^ | October 09, 2012 | Wayne Allyn Root

Yes, you read that headline correctly. I am a Las Vegas oddsmaker (and former Libertarian vice presidential candidate) and here's why I am so boldly predicting a Romney landslide.

In November of 2004, only days before the presidential election, I went on CNBC and predicted a Bush victory by 3 points and 30 electoral votes. Every poll at the time showed Kerry in the lead. Bush won by 3 and 35. Newsmax magazine called it the most accurate prediction of 2004.

In October of 2006, I went on Fox News to predict the GOP would get slaughtered in the midterm election and lose Congress. They did.

In December 2011, before the GOP primary, I predicted Mitt Romney would win the GOP presidential nomination and go on to win the presidency. For the next few months, Romney trailed by a wide margin to a range of contenders -- Donald Trump, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum.

It seemed no one wanted Mitt for president. It seemed no one believed in Mitt. No one, that is, except this Las Vegas oddsmaker and capitalist evangelist.

Yes, I would agree that Obama is a fraud.

This is not what I remember... **********************************************

It isn't what you remember because it isn't true. Bush was leading in almost every poll by a small margin.

With Netanyahu and Romney in charge, we won’t be at the end times, IMHO.

There’s no Boss card. Springsteen has scarcely sold a record since the eighties.

His tours do well, but compared to songs selling millions, it’s still a tiny audience.

No hit songs = no press coverage = nobody hears you. And nobody cares.
