If the polls are correct, and President Obama wins a narrow Electoral College victory on Tuesday, the pivotal moment of the 2012 presidential race may have actually occurred in 2009. About two months after taking office, Mr. Obama set the terms of the government’s rescue of General Motors and

This is just some NYT ‘blog drivel. The writer speculates that the victory [sic] might be rooted in the GM/Chrysler bailout.

Do not fall for believing exit polls today. We should know by now that they are not reliable.

“My take on why polls are not correct is the well known as the “Wilder Effect”.”

I remember this being trotted out in 2008 (the “Bradley effect”) when they thought Obama was going to lose and they were going to blame racism. It didn’t materilaize at the time, but I think it might this year because since day 1 (even during the Dem primaries) any criticism of the unqualified affirmative action token was dismissed (and attacked) as “racist”. Four years later the only way people can indicate displeasure with Obama without repercussions is in the privacy of the voting booth - let’s hope they do it!

The party apparatchiks often have a good flow of vote Intel. It was about this time in’92 that Bush 41’s people told him that he’d lost to Clinton. So Priebus could be on to something or just blowing smoke cause he doesn’t know. Luckily my power’s still out so I can’t follow this. I’ll vote, cook dinner on the grill, read by LED flashlight and go to bed. I’ll wake up and see if we still have a country.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at but the rest of the thread seemed to fully understand the intention of the post.

Get a grip.
