The polls again! I wonder why the pollsters are using the 2008 model rather than the 2010 model. I don’t buy the BS about 2010 not being a Presidential election. The suffering middle class who started to turn the tide away from socialism have not gotten any happier with BO’s economy.
Did Obama get the courts to overturn the PA election ID law? That’s the difference. No Republican can win without voter ID in PA and no Democrat can win with it.
In 2000, 120% of the eligible voters in Philadelphia cast votes, over 100% of them for Al Gore. Pittsburgh is almost as bad. Elections in PA are just like Venezuela, or Saddam’s Iraq.
You are right. You can not discount the mid terms. In the last 10-12 years, the party which has won the mid terms, went on to win the presidency... It was a common statistic in 2008, now suddenly never mentioned in 2012. Odd, huh!
