Mainstream media shocked latest polls show GOP pulling away
The Washington Times ^ | October 26, 2014 | Joseph Curl

The mainstream media made a hearty go of it, attempting for the last few weeks to portray the Nov. 4 election as a toss-up. But poll after poll is now showing those reports to be nothing more than a barrel of red herrings: Republicans are solidly in the lead with just more than a week to go.

Over the past several weeks, a dozen stories or more have painted the Colorado race between Republican Cory Gardner and Democrat Mark Udall for the U.S. Senate seat there as neck-and-neck. CNN and the mainstream newspapers have repeatedly said the race is too close to call.

But as FiveThirtyEight’s Harry Enten tweeted at last week’s end, “There hasn’t been a live interview non-partisan sponsored poll showing Udall leading in Colorado in 6 weeks.” In fact, RealClearPolitics.com, which keeps track of all polls, said, “Gardner has now led in every poll but one since mid-September. His lead is likely ‘real’; Udall probably needs a late break or for the polls to be simply incorrect to pull this out.”(continued)

Vote fraud has depressed our sense of detecting waves amongst our own people, even when we can see the tsunami about to crash down.

The RATS have learned a lot since 2012. Voter fraud will be rampant this election.

Too much media ...

Making me suspicious, too. Senate NOT a slam-dunk. I can name the members of my VFW who will not make it to the polls ... and THEY are already talking victory. Also, the Democrats know our turn-out problems, and could well be orchestrating this euphoric press to keep the "Republican" vote low, even as they fund "Libertarian" spoilers.

With the fraud fix in, this could be a bad time.

The $100M spent is in NC, not NH.

I don’t. I think that this “Mail-out Ballot” crap is tailor made for vote fraud; that’s what will steal it for Udall. I won’t believe that Udall is going to lose that race until I hear Brett Baier say: “FOX News is calling Colorado for Cory Gardner”.
