Dixie, has your prediction changed?

Are you now predicting a Romney election win?

Yes, my prediction has changed several times actually, and could change again before the election. Originally, I predicted Romney would win by double-digits. Many found that prediction to be a little bold at the time, and perhaps it was. Recently, I posted a thread stating that I predicted Obama would win in a very close race. This was based on Romney's passive campaign to that point, and assuming this strategy would continue, it didn't. Following the first debate, I again changed my prediction.. "too close to call!" I'm still pretty much in that camp at this time, because it all depends on turnout. The double-digit prediction is still entirely possible, so is the prediction Obama will win a close race.
 
Yes, and I bet on him getting things wrong. He predicted Obama would win this election and that had me very concerned... But now he seems to be saying he believes Mitt will win so I'm feeling better. Can't seem to get him to clarify however...

Too close to call, that is my current prediction. So by your logic, it's going to be a landslide one way or another... now, I ask you, do you really believe Obama will win in a landslide over Romney?

So you are backing away from your previous prediction that the President would win?
 
Dixie said:
No, "too close to call" would indicate he can most certainly win. So I wouldn't say that, Jughead.

Well previously you predicted the President would win, now you say too close to call.... That's improvement for the presidents chances from my perspective. You have made my day!

Great! Just be aware, I have correctly predicted the outcome in 5 of the last 6 presidential elections. I'm seldom wrong on that.
 
it makes sense for dixie to predict obama will win. If he's wrong, he still gets to rub obama losing in your face. If obama does win, he prevents you from rubbing it in his face "because he knew all along" and he also gets to be right, which to dixie is almost as important as the president he wants elected actually getting elected.
 
Ain't hard to be wrong when you refuse to make a prediction. Too close to call is not a prediction.
 
Just say Obama is going to win, Dix. Jarod will cry, but at least the stupid question will be gone.

And as he stated earlier, he's also predicted that Romney would win by double digits.

He's just covering his ass so that when it's all over, no matter the outcome, he can claim he "predicted it".

Nah, I will officially stand by whatever my prediction is just before the election, as always. Yes, my prediction might change several times during the course of a campaign, this is not unusual. Things happen, dynamics change. A month ago, I didn't think Romney would win, I predicted Obama by a small margin. Three months ago, I predicted Romney by double-digits. Currently, I am predicting a toss up, I don't know which way it will go, but the momentum seems to be favoring Romney more and more each day. It could still be Romney by double-digits, or the momentum could shift again between now and November 6... we just have to wait and see.

I'm not trying to "cover all bases" at all, I am giving weight to current conditions and updating my prediction based on that. If the weatherman tells you on Monday, that it is going to rain on Saturday, then on Wednesday, says it's likely not going to rain, and then on Friday, tells you it will be sunny... did he "cover all the bases" or did he give you the best most up-to-date prediction?

Remember when Saddam had WMD?
 
This is still one of my fav. Dixie Predictions...


"I actually think this helps Cain, because there will be a backlash. This has turned into the Gloria Alred Show, and most intelligent voters are going to be real turned off by this before it's over. Cain is currently tied with Romney, according to Gallup today... I like his odds.
