Well, having AB Stoddard, the smoking queen, as well as Powers on with only that wuss, Hayes, as a counter weight really was - ahem - skewing things last night. Even Baier is contorting to try to make the biased polls look legit because his producer is making him report on them...as illegit as they are...so I’m with you...I watch Gerri Willis on Fox Business after watching the Special Report opening...only if polls or Rove are not mentioned.

Oddly, I recall they were in the tank big time for Romney during the primary...
Shades of Colin Powell?

Their little tricks with the poll numbers will bite them in the butt.

Their own constituents are so lazy and ignorant that they will see the phony polls and not bother to show up on election day....

The article says the following at the end:

“Committed anti-Obama voters will show up to cast their ballots no matter what, but this is not the case with smug, self-satisfied Obama supporters who have been told they cannot lose.”

This is an interesting point. GOP voters are usually more dedicated to voting, so I think there’s some truth in this observation. However, I don’t think it will be an issue. Unless something happens to really change the race in Obama’s favor, polls around election time will either show a close race or Romney ahead.
