The odds of the trailing candidate winning all five states is 0.2%, two-tenths of one percent.

As is the new norm in American elections, ALL the breaks ALWAYS go one way.

Unbelievable!

Am I smelling the stench of software?

Something is seriously wrong here.

This is classic GIGO. Rasmussen and every other poll house that “found” a Romney push needs to look at their methodologies.

Something bizarre happened at about midnight. GOP was catching up in Fla., winning Va and No. CArolina, and overtaking Ohio and Fox CALLS it for Zero? Are you kidding? WTF???

Something needs looking into, alright. It ain’t the polls.

There could be some fraud, but also I think the “likely voter” theory has to completely be reworked. I still can’t get my head around the lower turnout reports in dem counties, higher in GOP counties....yet Obama winds up equalling 08? Something seems off...maybe the turnout were reports just wrong or wishful thinking.

The big difference between 2010 and 2012? Obama was on , ticket in 2012 and not in 2010. Thus I suspect 2014 will be a huge GOP year, but 2016 may be more like this.

The Dems seem to have tapped into some of the voters who would not normally vote, plus there are more of them (latinos). They will turn out for the BIG one, but might not get invested in the smaller races.

The GOP now has to mine the grassroots and start collection the “smaller” offices.

The question is, can the Dems nominate someone in 2016 who can replicate the enthusiasm.

It may be garbage for these five states, but this is 5 out of 23 states and DC. 28 states were never polled by Rasmussen.

THIS EFFING VOTE TALLYING TONIGHT STUNK STANK STINKED SO BAD WE ARE EFFING SCREWED AS THIS WAS A GOVERNMENT-SANCTIONED HIJACKING OF OUR ELECTION PROCESS AND I AM SO PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW I CAN'T SEE STRAIGHT. EVERY TIME THE TALLYING ENDED AND OBAMA WAS BEHIND HE ENDED UP PASSING ROMNEY IN ALL THE KEY SWING STATES. NOTHING TO SEE HERE. NO ONE WILL INVESTIGATE THIS JUST LIKE BENGHAZI, FAST & FURIOUS, SOLYNDRA OR ANY OTHER ILLEGAL PLOT EXECUTED BY THE BLACK MAN PROTECTED BY HIS RACE CARD WHICH PREVENTS US FROM DOING ANYTHING OUT OF FEAR OF BEING CALLED RACIST.

JUST ANOTHER EVIL PLOT WAGED UPON US BY OUR EVIL REGIME. AND WE THOUGHT THIS WAS A 'FREE AND FAIR' ELECTION.. SHOULD'VE KNOWN SOMETHING WAS WRONG WHEN THE BLACK PANTHERS LAUGHED IN OUR FACES AS WE DID NOTHING TO EXTRICATE THEM OR THE GOP POLL WATCHERS WERE LOCKED OUT AND WE DID NOTHING TO FORCE THE ENEMY TO ALLOW THEM BACK IN.. JUST KEEP SURRENDERING AMERICA. NOT MUCH TIME LEFT. FOUR BRAVE AMERICANS LEFT STRANDED FOR DEAD BY OUR PRESIDENT BUT THE MEDIA RUNS A DIVERSION AND A HURRICANE SAVES THE DAY!!

For as long as females vote, and 0bama runs for office, females will vote for 0bama. He knows and the females know something we’re not allowed to talk about here. Sprinkle in MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ON A NATIONAL SCALE and voila! Four more years o HELL.

If Republicans end up with only 44 Senate seats it’s going to take a huge tsunami to get them into a majority even then. They really blew it this time. Everyone is saying Akin cost us a seat in MO but McCaskill’s margin was so big I have to wonder if she might have beaten one of the other Republicans anyway. Senate races were just a disaster. I’m surprised Flake managed to win.

Hey, keep it civil. I want to examine the Rasmussen swing state polls on this thread.

Wasn’t Rasmussen’s final NH poll Obama +2?

I know what you mean.. The low number of supporters in the audience at his rallies is the REALITY. The disproportionately high numbers of votes is the FRAUD.

Another day, another FRAUD, by the FRAUD

Yes, you're right. I didn't see yesterday's release for some reason.

That makes the odds of running the remaining four states 0.6%.

Thanks for point that out to me.

A few weeks ago, I took your info to task for leaving out the enthusiasm that the Republicans obviously had. What I did not factor in was the fraud that I believe a careful examination of the returns will reveal. While I'm sure that we (and them) will come up with plausible explanations for Obama's sweep of ALL the swing states in terms of policy or political tactics, I will go to my grave believing that there was widespread systemic voter fraud in the air. Some may have been the oldschool 'stuff the ballot box when no one is looking' that we saw in Philadelphia to the new school fiddle of the touchscreens that voted for Obama instead of Romney.

Thanks PJ2, for all you efforts and know that you are, in my eyes at least, a true Freeper that deserves respect.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm just someone who is trying to find information in all the data.

It might just be me, but it seemed like the early calls were on the basis of democrat strongholds still holding the vote tallies. I thought the panhandle of Florida would come through for Romney and that is normally the conventional wisdom for Florida Presidential voting, but numerous times the media and other posters noted that Miami-Dade still had yet to release half of their numbers.

It would not surprise me if the same thing happened in other swing states. It kind of throws things off a bit if you are watching from home because Romney was ahead and they still called it for Obama on the basis that one of these overwhelmingly democratic precincts had yet to dump their numbers.

Even with the correction to .6% I smell a rat. I’m in Cook County and around blacks and liberal whites all day and Obama’s enthusiasm level here was incredibly low.
