As always...the MSM will play down GOP leads...and pull for their hometeam.

My brother tells me that on the day before the election in ‘80...he was a student at UW, Madison...he remembers the Wiconsin State Journal healine...”It’s a tossup”. Some tossup.

Reagan won in a huge landslide...may the same be true on Tuesday.

What is amazing is how much power the mainstream media could still have by the choice in spinning/covering this Sandy disaster. They COULD make it be Obama’s katrina by simply asking pointed questions and doing certain shots etc etc.

If this were Pres Romney running against a challenger, is there any doubt what the MSM would doing right now?

Most would agree that the media are much more openly Left-wing partisans now, and they now appear to use the reporting of their sponsored polls to influence momentum in their desired direction. Their bias shows up in their sample selection.

Aside from Gallup, it does not appear that pollsters have come close to capturing the intensity of the anti-Obama sentiment - despite obvious signs: The Tea Party phenomenon, the 2010 election, the Scott Walker recall results, the nearly spontaneous Chick-fil-a rallies across the country. I don’t think the media have ever before been as invested in a candidate as they are in Obamugabe. His defeat will crush them.

I remember the 1980 election too. Many pundits were predicting a Carter victory, even though much anecdotal experience indicated that very few thought Carter was even remotely competent.

A lot of us remember how we were the laughing stock of the world under that bumbler. This time there isn't that much laughing but more of a morbid fear of what 4 more years of Obmanomics will do to our country.
