Which makes the mass medias claims that their over sampling Democrats in their polls matches reality on the ground even that much more tendentious.

That is why you have these BS polls which over samples Dems by 15+ points. They know that if the TRUE polls came out it would show Romney with a clear lead. They are hoping that with these polls, that enough Republicans will stay home

I fail to see how voter registration is even relevant for the Dem side. With motor voter laws everywhere, I would harbor a guess that there are millions of folks on the voter rolls that have never voted. If GOP is taking a lead after decades of that, I have a good feeling of who will be getting 47% of the vote in six weeks. Though Jerry Brown supposedly did just sign same day voter registration bill today. But CA was already screwed.

"... In Nevada, there are 447,881 registered Democrats to 400,310 registered Republicans, a split of roughly 47,000. (Keep in mind, the state has 1.4 million registered voters right now.) In 2008, the state split 531,317 registered Democrats to 430,594 registered Republicans, a split of roughly 100,000."

53,000 voters doesn't seem like a lot, but that's a sizable chunk of the Nevada population.

I wrote in another thread a few weeks back about the 2010 elections where I noticed that a lot of the no-show [DEM] voters on the voting rolls at my local polling place were from addresses around our area that were either repo'd or in short sale.

I can't speak to Northern NV Democrats moving back to CA in droves, but I personally know of a few who have moved back to places where the social services are a lot more generous than they are here.

Good thing about the Southern NV Democrats has been that if they lose their jobs and homes down in Las Vegas (or just want out for whatever reason, like perhaps that three months in the summertime with temps of 116F in the shade) they don't/can't/won't stick around in Nevada, instead choosing to go straight back to where they came from in the first place: Los Angeles and San Bernardino CA.

With just about everyone in NV living paycheck-to-paycheck and as much as $200,000 upside down on their mortgage, if they lose their income they're finished here. All they can do is walk away from their 2005-vintage $400,000 McMansion in Henderson NV, driving off in their Hummer H3 on it's giant chromed spinning wheels back to Southern California where a $300,000 1961-vintage house basically means they'll have to live in some depressing and sketchy remote suburb where they'll commute over an hour each way to get to work at a cost of $4.53/gallon in that 7500 pound land whale that gets 9mpg in the stop-and-go traffic of an I-10 traffic jam.

I recently read that in SoCal home sales are again on the rise, and that how this is very good news. Yeah, I know: former Californians are moving back home and getting new sub-prime government loans on a home they'll be delinquent on just like they did the last place they fled from. Hey, and while they're at it, check out the new low LOW sub-prime rates on this new 2013 Chevy Tahoe!

"In Florida, as of last month there are 4,627,929 registered Democrats and 4,173,177 registered Republicans, which amounts to a a 454,752-voter advantage for Democrats."

One thing that worries me is this election just might come down to the 29 electoral votes Florida has. Florida has by far the largest number of electoral votes of the undecided battleground states. I don't see how one can loose Florida and still win the election based on the current electoral map as the polls have them.

The current Rasmussen electoral map has the Kenyan at 237 predicted electoral points and Romney at 196. His last Florida poll (Sept 13th) has Florida 0=48% R=46%

The overall trend is in our favor, but the trend has not put us ahead of the game yet.... according to the polls.
