The polls are changing too quickly

I watch these polls change back and forth especially Senate races and again and the margin of Repyke leads don't figure.Especially in KY Now I think the Democrats have crawled in their holes and have allowed the Repukes to run over them I think with the RNC chief anything goes and I think we are witnessing the biggest or largest election theft in history.There has already been vote flipping which went unnoticed in the corporate media So we are screwed

From Karl Rove so the criminals must be in hiding.
it is a huge swing. It is too damn much of a swing to be legit. I think the Repukes have planned this theft strategy since 2008.Damn anybody but chicken lips in KY
It looked as if he was loosing. It went from a dead heat race to a 9 point lead in 4 days and that shows something ain't quite above board

It just is. Midterms are always more difficult than Presidential years, this one is more difficult than usual.

Wining and had a great ground game it wasn't difficult .this year the Repukes aren't working that hard and here in the final hours everything is falling in place and even very close races are swinging Repukes way here in the last campaign day and the media including MSNBC seem happy to report that .I think when the smoke
clears after the vote count we will see we just had one hell of a election theft

5. McConnell has been ahead in KY for awhile

I keep seeing posts about this "sudden" swing but the polls have had McConnell ahead by +4 to +8 for a couple of months. There was one outlier that had them seperated by 1 point but the rest have been in the 4-8 range. It really hasn't been as close as people have made it out to be but the optimism doesn't hurt.

7. I have been folowing this race fairly closely...

..and I believe it will be much closer than any of the pollsters qre predicting. Simply because ALG has connected with a lot of new voters and there is a lot of enthusiasm. I think this makes it much more unpredictable. I would be surprised and deeply disappointed if Alison were to lose by 5 or more points. I cannot think of a better way to run against the big money than what ALG has done by the grassroots.
