The polling numbers are sheer nonsense. They go from D+3 to D+8, yet the results are statistically the same. It’s possible for Obama to be winning the popular vote, yet losing the EC.

The important points are he’s below 50% in every poll. Momentum is on our side. We keep harping on Romney, yet it is Obama who is struggling.

The MSM has a billion dollars in spending on pro-Obama “newsvertisements” and “aditorials”, yet he still cannot get traction. Only 9% of people contacted participate in the poll. That’s overwhelming self-selection.

“Only 9% of people contacted participate in the poll. That’s overwhelming self-selection.”

I use practically every caller-Id and caller-blocker known to mankind, including myself. For example, I never answer 202 or 703 area codes, nothing that looks like a poll, nothing that looks like a fake Caller-ID.

And I was just talking this morning to a friend who owns some significant-sized small global businesses, and he brought up the same notion, namely, that he does the same thing that I do, and knows many others who do the same, that is, he ducks the blizzard of political calls and thinks the polls are worthless due to this self-selection.

He also made another interesting point, namely, that he has several liberal acquaintances who avowedly fall all over themselves to answer these polls to give their pro-Obama views.

So on the one hand we have conservatives ducking the polls, and yet on the other hand we have rabid liberals enthusiastically answering the polls. I wonder what the REAL numbers will look like on November 7? My guess is nowhere near what the ObamaMedia polls are claiming.

Just a thought---feel free to share: for all those who think Romney isn't hitting hard enough

In the primaries, my wife said she liked Romney cause he was ruthless and sneaky. Freepers asked "where is the guy who nuked Newt?" We'll I think you're seeing him. The first race tape, then Telemundo's "Fast/Furious" exposé, now this race tape---if I didn't know better I'd say that the Romney campaign was behind this. :)
