Just Now Wolf Blitzer said to expect the unexpected |
|
Then he said, "what if it isn't a squeaker? What if it's a one-sided victory". More to come. Then they went to a commercial.
I wonder if that's a hint that Obama is steamrolling Clinton??

38. No, Mitt Romney is a gag candidate. Literally. |
|
Lee Mercer is a crack pot that some DUers are making fun of for his troubles with expressing coherent thoughts on his website.

45. You won't find out about Mercer on t.v. |
|
Only on the internet. Google him up (Lee Mercer Jr.) if you want a comical tour through a paranoid imagination.

42. My republican friend here in NJ wrote in Lee Mercer. |
|
She's so unimpressed by the republicans and didn't change her registration in time to switch parties, so she wrote in lee mercer.

for us Clinton supporters. I hope I'm wrong...but Wolfie has been beating the obama drum for awhile and the media does have access to the exit polling.

The media's been hyping BO for a while, and it's probably looking like a huge Hillary win, which caught the m$m off guard. That would be my take anyway.

It's amazing how much speculation this has caused on both sides, in reality we have no idea what to expect. Better than the super bowl!

in the super bowl, the results were still based on the performance of the team. In politics, there are people who will switch teams based on whom they percieve to be ahead.

lose hope! I remember in 2004 the media had exit polls and they were positive Kerry was going to win in a landslide. We know how that ended. So keep your chin up and don't lose faith in your candidate. I know it is hard though. Take care!

But...but...isn't this the "exit polling" that proved so "unreliable" during Election2004? Could it be that the media now think "exit polling" is accurate?
