Can someone please explain to me

How in the world is this race close right now? I'm sorry those polls are BS.
Look at these clowns! I am stumped.

Also watching CM right now he is in rare form again, worth the watch. I haven't watched him in yrs.

Seriously. I don't know how many more ways that they can step in it, but it is sure fun to watch.

5. Obama must have a staff of Voodoo priests behind the scenes

because both McCain and Romney (and arguably Hillary) have just run themselves right into the ground while Obama's just standing there like "No flies on me."

Obama just makes campaigning look effortless. It's a thing of beauty.

That's what gets me, I know there a lot of idiots out there. but each day I'm seeing more conservatives saying they are voting for Obama, not a lot but a few here and there. And these clowns are still close? Huh

Those big TeeVee listener ratings and all of the hits they can generate on their Internet news sites all translate into how much money they get to charge for advertising time and space in their media. Stir 'em up big, create panic and hysteria amongst the general populace, and make them all so paranoid that they will gladly suckle from the teats of your "source of the news".

Even more sadly, it is also known as The Basic Business Model For Capitalism, creating a need for your product.

The old white (wealthy) men tried to yell their opinions over the more liberal women..

Loved when Eleanor Clift yelled out..Fact Check: Fact Check: Fact Check...

Over the voice of Mort Zuckerman who repeated the $719 Billion Ryan lie over Medicare....

Then she out talked him giving the exact correct facts on the $719 B

8. We live in a 47 - 47 (6) Country. Anyone with a (D) or an (R) can get within 3% of 50.

The popular vote is close, the electoral map isn't.


Unless Europe implodes or some other disaster happens, President Obama should get a second term.

The Congress is a different story. We are at a disadvantage there because of all the Senate seats we are defending.

My advice is to not sweat the polls until after the debates are over. From the VP pick through the debates the polls bounce all over the place.
