What the h*ll is wrong with the people still on their knees with Obama? Have they no shame?

I hope and pray the poll numbers are way off.

Good to hear - it’s easy to let the media control your mood. It seems Romney has better polling than the media is willing to allow...so he’s not fooled.

Sadly, but predictably, Ohio will be wholly represented by the large metro areas, notably Cleveland. While there may be some hope for Columbus, and a smidgen for Cincinnati, the Cleveland, Dayton, and Toledo metro areas will likely carry the state, overall.

I can say, though, that the areas away from those metro areas are solidly conservative, and will vote that way.

My hope is that the lazy-a$$ dems will believe the polls, and a great many of them will stay home for the Oprah marathon rather than vote...

NBC REPORTER MOCKS ROMNEY FOR NOT BELIEVING ‘MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING’ CREATES HURRICANES

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/08/31/NBC-Reporter-Mocks-Romney-Global-Warming

Garrett Haake@GarrettNBCNews
Romney has dismissed man-made climate change & joked about rising oceans. Today he’ll see effects of both in flooded south Louisiana

Garrett Haake obviously think it’s okay to tweet this unthinking, unscientific, historically ignorant nonsense because he sees it — as OBJECTIVE TRUTH. You know, like water is wet and up is higher than down.

And this is what happens when you live in a bubble — you actually start to believe that if we increase fuel standards hurricanes will go away.

Moreover, now we have yet another look at how impossible it is for Romney to get anything close to objective coverage from those covering the campaign. Look at what Romney’s up against in just the few words of that tweet — a roaring moron who believes that if we cut carbon emissions… hurricanes will go away.

Haake epitomizes the anti-scientific, theocratic thinking of the Our Gaia Of the Global Warming Church.

Biased, arrogant, and hopelessly ignorant — the corrupt media in a nutshell.

Ah, those mythical “internal polls” that perdicted Juan McCain’s victory in 2008.

Reporters get shaft on Romney plane

“In the 2 hours the press was off Romney plane in SD, a new curtain has been installed to separate the reporters from the staff section.” — NBC News’ Garrett Haake.

“Ah, those mythical “internal polls” that perdicted Juan McCain’s victory in 2008.”

Until the scare tactics of the financial markets manipulation delivered the election to Obama a month or two before the election, McCain/Palin had it in the bag. Once people felt sufficiently threatened, and McCain couldn’t articulate a plan for anything other than “business as usual”, he was sunk. Up until that point, any Obama supporters I knew assumed Obama would lose (and it was close enough to indicate that was the truth).

Understanding the Romney policy leak

Yesterday evening NBC’s Garrett Haake had a nice scoop, revealing some policy proposal details that Mitt Romney discussed at a closed-door fundraiser. Most notably: plans to streamline the federal government, possibly eliminating some agencies — and, perhaps, shutting down the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which Romney’s father once headed.

I don’t trust ANY “polls” right now. These same bass turds who claim Barry the Kenyan Guy is winning never saw 2010 coming. They’re about to make it two in a row.

Wise to ignore the external polling. It’s like any statistic: it can be skewed any way the person preparing it wants to skew it.

Take a look at the absentee ballot numbers coming in across Ohio---I'm not going to post them all again, bu the Rs are ovet performing, sometimes by huge margins, their 2008 percentages and the Dems ar underperforming 2008. Heck, in some cases the GOP is surpassing 2010 levels. Just one example: Warren Co. Went for McCain 2:1 . . . But the r/D absentees are coming in at a rate of five to one .

Now, anything can change and we've only looked at the main counties so far but they all are showing big gOP advantages and/or in Dem counties much smaller margins than what Obama needs to win.

I doubt that McCain won have won in 2008 under any circumstance. A third-term in the presidency for any party is a historic rarity - Bush 41 was the first time (other than FDR) since 1928.

That said, the magnitude of McCain’s loss would have been considerably smaller without the financial meltdown - ironically caused by the RATS from the beginning. And several senate races would have been salvaged without the McCain undertow.

Once the meltdown occurred, the voters saw McCain as a mumbling, bumbling old man who couldn’t string 3 coherent sentences together and knew nothing about the economy.
