Weird Political Science

Two University of Colorado political scientists have generated a model which correctly predicts the outcome of every presidential election since 1980. Based on economic information taken five months before the November election, the model says Romney will win the 2012 election.

The University is quite proud of this scholarship, see their news release summarizing the findings. The results will be published this month in PS: Political Science & Politics, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Political Science Association.
