Well Romney supporters were certainly predicting a Romney landslide, so it's certainly plausible that Obama supporters would predict an Obama landslide. That's independent of whether or not that's a good idea in the game theory sense, of course.

You're definitely right, and it really didn't make sense to me that they were doing that. I guess it's probably just a human nature thing more than anything else.

I think my point still stands though: this doesn't showcase NPR's neutrality - perhaps they are in fact biased toward Obama and just lie more strategically than most Republican pundits. (Certainly not accusing them of that, only saying that I don't think we can glean much from the fact that they gave Romney higher numbers than he deserves.)
