Or maybe independents were always with Obama and Rasmussen was just screwing with Romney supporters.
Bingo. Not necessarily that Ras was lying, but MANY media pollsters had Romney way up with “independents” weeks ago. I predicted in a thread then that it was just a ploy so that they could show him crashing back down at the end.
As far as Bonzo’s big lead among those who have already voted in Ohio, the math majors on this site have been telling us for weeks that early voting in Ohio and pretty much everywhere else has trended *significantly* toward the Republicans when compared to 2008. A spreadsheet says so.
Nevermind that Romney is still far, far behind in early voting in Ohio (not as far as McCain was though — whoopee!) and that Josh Mandel is getting absolutely stomped by the dirtiest, slimiest Democrat bastard in the Senate, and has been all along, and doesn’t seem to be fighting back much if at all.
