The key is not whether they are inclined to vote for Obama (or against the Republican) no matter what... but if they actually do vote.

I am 100% confident our side will turn out. I think in the end many of theirs will stay home (or in the privacy of the ballot box vote their conscience)

Give it a bit more time for this to sink in. It takes a while for dems who are somewhat open to a switch to be willing to say so in a poll.

He is absolutely correct and something I’ve been pointing out as well. There is nothing that will sway the 45% of voters who are firmly entrenched in Obamas camp or the 45% who are in the anti-obama camp. The 10% in the middle are morons who will probably split their vote. SO it is totally dependenton turnout. Romney needs to suppress Obama turnout using social issues and enhance his own turnout using economic issues.

There's early voting which is about to begin in a number of states, so even if there is a real game-changing event, it will be too late for those who were too lazy/inconvenienced to wait for the polls to open.

There are all of the "Independents" who just like pretending they are independent-minded when in fact they are basically lifelong Democrats or Republicans.

There are all of those idiots who want to vote for the winner (like those who buy a ticket for the favorite in the Kentucky Derby even when the odds are below 1:1) who will vote for Obama or Romney, not because they prefer either, but because they want to say they voted for the winner.

It is truly sad.

The freeloaders and moochers are by their very nature LAZY and will simply not beat the effort made by the 53% of those who pay for their share to get out and vote. WE WIN!

Jimmy Carter’s grandson is claiming credit for the video. He didnt shoot it, but claims to have obtained it from the person who did.

There are no polls left in Oregon and much of Washington anymore. All elections are “vote by mail”.

I think it is a manifestation of the frequently-commented-upon polarization of the electorate

I disagree with this point. I think the polarization is related to where voters get their information. To the extent they venture beyond the MSM is also the extent to which they are open to other than a liberal worldview.

I have a feeling from talking with some oldtimer (65+) democrats who “will never vote republican”, when going to the poll this year they will leave the presidential box unmarked.

Not sure how wide spread this is, but in my little corner it seems prevalent. Of course, they will still be marking “D” down the column on every other race, but I think they see what the Communist in Chief is doing to America.
