I pray we get to see a total media meltdown on election night when they realize O won’t be President.

Pretty amazing 70 to 9 in a very left leaning poll.

Guess that kinda makes it less of a right-wing delusion and more just the reality of the situation. And the reality is brutal.

And still nearly half the voters will still vote FOR the media's candidate. Go figure!

In 94 the MSM called the election a “temper tantrum.” I wonder what they’ll say when the ONE goes down in flames?

Hmmm.
