Colorado has been too close to call for weeks now. The way the headline is being gamed, it makes Obama look like he just made a move in the state. In fact, he didn’t.

I’ve never seen such blatant propaganda. Obama’s team is flagging, and yet he is being portrayed as if he’s making a move.

Well he is. This is a perfect storm building against him. He’s moving alright, and the date is January 20th.

The poll was conducted for The Post by the firm SurveyUSA. Pollsters contacted 750 Colorado adults — 676 of whom are registered voters — between Sunday and Wednesday. Of those, 615 were seen as likely voters.

So 135 of the 750 polled (18%) should NOT have been included in the poll if they were truly interested in accuracy.

That the media is still playing with "adults" and "registered voters" this late in the game instead of only "likely voters" tells me they can't like the results they are getting when they just poll likely voters and have to fudge the numbers either to get the statistical horse race that sells more subscriptions or simply to inflate the numbers for their beloved Obama.

The internal polls of the candidates, without the bs added, must be wildly different considering the behavior of the two candidates. One seems very desperate and the other seems very confident.

A poll of 750 “adults” overestimates the slugs who are mostly Democrats.

Okay, I have to tell someone this. I just got a call from a “720” area code (Denver) saying they are with Organizing for America requesting I vote for obimbo. I could not stop laughing and asked why they were calling me (registered R for many years). He said they were calling people in swing states (interesting). I explained thru laughing tears that I was definitely not voting for his guy. He was nice, but I just kept laughing. I expect they will take me off their list. I have done 72 hour calls many times. Wow, big mistake to get the wrong party voter.

I guess it is desperate times and desperate measures mode for the dems.
