As an oldtime FReeper, I am disturbed by the over-confidence (arrogance?) of far too many of my brethren who think R/R are coasting to victory on some kind of wave. You guys need to understand how Obama has HAMMERED Romney with outsourcing and Bain lies in Ohio for 4 months, eroding his position with white blue collar males. Romney has FAILED to counter this onslaught with ads exposing Obama’s stimulus outsourcing, GE links, Wall St. ties and failure to prosecute a SINGLE financial exec from Wall St. or Fannie Mae. The battle has bee one-sided, and the early vote has favored Obama. In addition Obama is engaging is MASSIVE voter fraud in Ohio - not just the Somali shenanigans we see today, but also student from out of state registering to vote from temporary, shared addresses which will NEVER be checked - spiking the Obama vote totals by potentially a thousands or more votes. This is NOT a fair fight, and I do not see R/R fighting dirty on the ground. I am VERY concerned this race is already lost in a fog of fraud in Ohio.

Who thinks that?
I certainly don’t.
What the DATA tell me is this: the race is in a statistical TIE. There is essentially no swing-state polling or national polling that has Romney or Obama with a lead above the MOE. (Florida may be the sole exception to that fact.)
However...
Since it could go either way, DAMNED if I’m going to wring my hands and get all weepy and ASSUME that it’s going the WRONG way because some faggot from the NYT says so!
I am BELIEVING in the blessing, and not the curse.
You get all nancy-boy weepy and hand-wringy and whatever if it makes you feel better.
I have faith in God and I’m maintaining a healthy OPTIMISM in the face of the evil forces that would drag us down.
Since according to the FACTS and the DATA the race is essentially EVEN, why not BELIEVE that it could actually go the way of righteousness and light, and speak words of encouragement and blessing over our candidate and our future, instead of descending into pessimism based on what some godless NYT fruitcake thinks?
Just saying. You do what you want. I know what I’ll do.
If in Sept we could have been told we would be up 5pts in the national polls and tied in the swing states we would be delirious.
If you don't believe it, fine, on Nov.6th we will see who was right.
Until then, save the 'we can't win' nonsense, we are winning.
