Most, despite having spent the last several months explaining that nobody could possibly know the outcome of this extremely volatile election , come up with reasonable numbers that track suspiciously closely to one another. But some take their own path! And one of those people is Jim Cramer, whom you may know as "the guy whose show is supposedly about investing but seems to be mostly a manic bald man barking nonsense and pressing noise-buttons." Cramer thinks Obama's going to win. Like, really going to win. Win all the states. Does he know something we don't?
