A subject worthy of debate. No matter what happens with this election, neither side is going to accept the outcome.

It does no good to be in denial. Even Rasmussen’s polls are awful this morning. And no wonder. Romney is playing to lose. His pathetic ads obsess over the “debt” which NO ONE cares about, or his “economic plan” when the Dems have successfully poisoned him with the “47%” video. He needs to attack Obama mercilessly. But he won’t. Because he doesn’t want to be called a racist. Sound familiar?

It’s also to set up the “illigitimate presidency” canard all over again, so Romney’s legislation can be blocked and his judicial appointments can be blocked. We’ve seen it all before.

Agree 100%.

If they know they are going to lose, then a simple loss is embarrassing and nothing more than that. BUT if they become convinced that they will easily win a huge victory -- if the result turns out to be a loss, then -- obviously! -- they were stabbed in the back! There was cheating! Riots are fully justified. Maybe Obama should just stay on past January!

Selling their followers on the idea that they already have everything all wrapped up is a last ditch effort to turn defeat into victory.

I have been saying the same thing, when Obama loses, the press and his sycophants will scream that the election was stolen from him by racism and touch voting machines! They will demand all types of investigation by Congress and the Press with no real evidence,

I said earlier today that we face a big problem:

Because of the constant pumping of the "Obama is ahead in all the polls" meme, if it does go down the other way, there is a certain contingent that is ripe for turmoil, riots, etc. claiming that the election was stolen.

"All the polls were the other way", they'll say.

BINGO, Thisis what I said a month ago. zero’s supporters will say, “How could he lose? He led in all the polls! Republicans cheated”.

It has been my observation that the polls swing wildly until a few weeks before the election when they tighten up to the real numbers. Every pollster wants to be the one that predicts the election the closest, whether it’s his guy or not. It gives them bragging rights and plenty of free marketing by the press afterward, but it’s only their final prediction that counts, which is typically the day before. Before that they can (and do) play fast and free with their numbers, blaming the wild swings on a “fickle and uncertain populace”.

Why the polls are all wrong. To set up the claim, "You cheated!"

I expect there's a lot of liberals who will meet their satanic father the same day this play at this again.

Who accepts what doesn’t matter. The result is the only thing that matters. Who cheated is food for the talking heads and the losing side.

You must not live in Virginia. Here the Obama stickers are everywhere, not just in the liberal DC suburbs. There are Obama signs in formerly conservative rural areas. Fortunately the Romney signs outnumber them and the ratio is a bit higher than 2008. But it’s not much higher.

it’s true even here in true blue MD... very few cars with New Obama stickers. Reliably every car sporting the equally laughable “Coexist” sticker usually has an Obama 12 sticker as well.

A couple of cues as to why we should be skeptical of these pollsters. 1) If Obama has such a huge lead in these crucial swing states, than why is he continuing to pour so much resources here. Wouldn't he be better served putting those resources in states that were closer? 2) Why don't we see the same increase in other states rather than these swing states? You would expect to see the same trend among other states but this is not the case.

They have set Voter ID up as racist.

When they lose, it will be the catalyst for violence.

Hopefully this election will not go to the supreme court as expect John (the traitor) Roberts will vote with the RATS to protect his “reputation”
