He told the Washington Times that had "a history of predicting political winners and losers without ever taking a poll" and predicted Mitt Romney would win in a "landslide" of 5 to 7 to 10 points and an electoral vote win of 100 to 120 votes. On Fox News he emphasized his being "a Las Vegas oddsmaker." Obama won reelection by four percentage points.
