Wall Street Analyst Wonders If The Election Is Basically Already Over

BTIG’s Dan Greenhaus sends out a mid-day note titled:

Has the President Already Sewn Up Reelection? Looking at the Electoral Map Favors His Odds.

The note makes the point — which is now traveling through much of the media — that Obama has a big built-in lead in the electoral college that will be hard for Romney to overcome.

If you’ll recall, Greenhaus raised eyebrows several days ago when he said he had only met one person who was predicting a Romney victory. And Greenhaus rolls with a Wall Street crowd (his clients) so when he says something like that, it’s pretty noteworthy.

We’ve seen a lot of analysis that discusses the election, but most of the time the analyst just punts to something like InTrade or the Pollster.com average, showing that Obama is in the lead. So far we haven’t seen any folks actually predicting an outcome one way or another.

However with conventional wisdom going the way it is,it will be interesting to see if Wall Street soon starts to vocally assume that Obama will win again.
