If Obama wins, hopefully, the Senate and House will be Republican to have some checks and balances. Oh, I forgot, that many not work either.
RE: The average person probably doesnt know who is running for election in local races.
To make matters worse, there are a lot of Americans ( even in the so called sophisticated city of New York, the financial capital of the world ) who don;t even know WHO is running against Romney, or even whether Paul Ryan is a Republican or Democrat.
Watch Howard Sterns recent — MAN ON THE STREET INTERVIEW.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYG6wDO3XVs
Remember back in 2008 when shock jock Howard Stern had his associates conduct “man on the street” interviews with Obama supporters? We’re sure you do. The results were both hilarious and depressing (depending on your political persuasion, of course).
Why were the results of the 2008 experiment hilarious/depressing? Because it became painfully clear that many of the people interviewed by Stern’s team had absolutely no idea what they were talking about or why they were supporting candidate Obama.
And if you thought it was funny (and/or depressing) in 2008, you’ll really enjoy the 2012 edition. Yes, Stern’s cohort once again descends on Harlem to ask a fistful of Obama supporters about the president, his accomplishments, and his GOP rival Mitt Romney.
What did the Stern crew learn? Well, among other things, they discover Osama Bin Laden isn’t dead, Romney is pro-choice, Obama is pro-life, and Paul Ryan is Obama’s running mate.
Now, it would unfair to say that the folks heard in the following video are representative of all Obama supporters. It’s a small group of very similar people. Even Stern admits they didn’t interview a diverse group. In addition, the interviewer does set up some of the questions in a leading way. So take the results with a grain of salt:
RE: Actually Rass with learners shows Romney +2 today.
What about the Battleground states? Does Rasmussen have similar polls on each of them?
The elections are not going to be decided at the national level but at the electoral college level.
OHIO, FLORIDA, VIRGINIA, COLORADO, IOWA, etc. What does Rasmussen show?
David Axelrod has in the last four years
Eliminated or shut up
Any media outfit on the US that got in his way or polling firm .
He tells the DC what to write and even previews columns .
These push polls are pure Goebbels propaganda dictated by Axelrod .
Fox has even canned Beck due to Axelrod pressure .
The USA media is a Obama media front group now and nothing more .
Allahpundit is a clueless idiot who
Thinks Nate Silver is fair pollster .
Yes the former Daily Koz employee is okay for this clown .
He is a useful idiot of the left .
None of them are to be believed. Tune them out.
“One thing for sure, If Obama wins, I will definitely drink more!......i hope you live in a warm climate. vodka drinkers in the former soviet union, get a snoot full, pass out, & freeze to death.”

Well, I live in a very warm climate.
If Obozo wins, it is unlikely that I would ever return to the USSA, not even to visit.
America will be destroyed if he gets anther term.
Fox was good just now. On O’Reilly Rove just broke down both polls released today for OH and FL and methodically (with the white board) revealed these polls as total BS.
Thanks for your work, SeekAndFind.
I have thought that polls showing us behind are helpful because people will be more motivated to vote. When we are ahead in the polls, it makes me nervous that folks will be lazy and stay home.
No sense in worrying, it is what it is. The more racket we make, the more we turn off the undecideds. I have a friend who is so conservative that she almost makes me want to vote the opposite. She yells at me when I take public transport.
I vote Republican. However, I’m thankful for many things that the liberals have done — e.g. they legislated use of car seats for infants and children, stopped smoking in restaurants, stopped burning of rice fields, have a heart for the alien amongst us as is commanded by our Lord, ..... But the liberals have done a bunch of bad stuff and they are stupidly proud of it and want to legislate more terrible stuff.
“Only elections are acurate.”
That’s right; how did those “registered Dem” voters do in MA and NJ in 2009? A lot of them voted for the Republicans (who went on to win).
How about during the mid-term “shellacking”? Same thing.
Elections are accurate, and Dems have been punished in almost all of them since The Sultan ascended the throne.
Swing state poll has Obama 46% to Romney 45%
Ohio: Obama 47 Romney 46 Poll from 09-13-12 at the height of the Obama bounce.
Fla 0 48, R 46 Poll from 09-13 at the height of the Obama bounce.
VA 0 49 R 48 Poll from 09-14 at the height of the Obama bounce.
CO: R 47, O 45 from 09-18-12
Iowa: R 47 O 44 from 09-20-12
So far from being a run away Obama win the race is very very very close. And that is bad news for an incumbent since the undecided usually swing 2-1 to the challenger.
Even Fox news is getting more difficult to watch. Maybe we all should just drink and watch a bunch of guys run around on a field, while someone yells in the background.
Agree. They are a buying into network polls as being accurate.
Particularly annoying today with AB Stoddard and Kirsten Powers spewing forth today.
Interesting that they never realize that they doubt Obama in their other segments but never stop to wonder why they think he is credible to the general voting population.
FY 2007 is the last year Bush/GOP Congress. Federal deficit $160 billion
FY 2011 Last year of Obama/Democrat Congress Federal Deficit 1.6 Trillion
There is utterly no way to sustain these kind of spending levels. Romney, for all his faults, at least sees this problem. The Obama team are completely blind to it even being a problem.
Polls, polls, POLLS - I am so damn (and I hardly ever swear) sick of hearing about these ten billion polls that are out...UGH!!! Especially when they have The ONE winning by a “substantial margin”...
Based on what you have been showing from Rasmussen’s Polls...
Here’s what is fascinating: over the past four years, Democrats have turned out more of their voters to the polls than Republicans by a 1% margin. You read that right - just 1%.
Yet, as the team at Breitbart.com just discovered, the polls being reported in the media showing Obama with this supposedly big lead do so only because they weighted the poll to have a 6%-10% Democrat turnout advantage.
Based on this, I think the truth is that the race in Ohio is a dead heat, and that’s why the media and the Obama campaign are working so hard to convince conservatives not to contribute, volunteer and vote.
This is all part of their psychological warfare...
This is easy. The polls we like are legitimate and the polls we don't like aren't.
Well yes in your case that is true.
For most people on this board a rational intellectually defensible polling sample is a good poll, an irrational, wild ass guess polling sample is a bad poll.
None of them.
RE: The polls we like are legitimate and the polls we don’t like aren’t.
Well, it looks like that’s another way of saying -— MY FEELINGS DETERMINE REALITY.
Hey, I feel like I can fly today... maybe I should do a Superman from the 30th floor...
Which rapes are legitimate?
RE: Which rapes are legitimate?
I think what Todd Akin is referring to are those sexual contacts that are FORCED on an unwilling woman. That can be legitimately called rape.
There are also those sexual contacts that are consensual where women later cry rape for the money ( especially if the man is rich ).
And then there is Whoopi Goldberg who says what Roman Polanski did to the then 13 year old girl isn’t “rape-rape” ( whatever that means ).
