I have to admit, after seeing the fox poll today, I am worried.
The only poll that is consistently good is Rasmussen. I know Ras was dead on in 04 and 08...so he is very good/unbiased. But he seems to be an outlier this time around.
Ras has it Romney +4
Fox has it Obama +9
CNN has it Obama +7
Thoughts anyone? Cheer me up on a Friday...
The polls, especially the ones that have Obama winning by 11% are absolutely accurate. If they oversample Democrats, that's because Democrats are far more likely to show up at the polls than Republicans. Romney will lose every single state. There is absolutely no hope. In fact, Obama doesn't even need to run -- he should simply proclaim himself (more of a) King.
Let's kill ourselves.
No matter how HORRIFYINGLY PAINFULLY TRAGICALLY AWFUL it really is, it is a MILLION times worse. Then things get *really* tough. After that, HORRIBLE things happen, and then we REALLY get screwed. Immediately following that, the BOTTOM drops out and we are all DEAD, and THEN things get HARD! Once that happens, it signifies the TOTAL collapse of EVERYTHING, and that’s when the CATASTROPHE starts! It’s the sign of the end of EVERYTHING, but after that, comes the TRAGEDY. Then times get DIFFICULT, and things get WORSE, until it’s EXCRUCIATING, but that’s just the beginning, because after that it’s all PAIN.
The year was 1979. President Jimmy Carter had run America into the ground during his first term as president. Ronald Reagan was his opponent as Carter campaigned for a 2nd term.
The mainstream media at one point claimed Reagan was a 30 point underdog. Two weeks prior to the November election Reagan was declared a 10 to 11 point underdog by the MSM.
Ronald Reagan WON 90% of the states. Carter got his ass kicked severely. It DIDN'T work then, and it WILL NOT work now. Here, watch this old YouTube video from election night 1979.

As Dan Rather reluctantly stated that night, "the people wanted CHANGE".
