Yes, Romney will lose these states by only less than 10 points.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

The media is desperate for a 'horse race' narrative, and the fact that this year that entails shilling for Romney should indicate something.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

OMG people, flee all is lost! Kill the weak and save yourselves!!!

[Orion0]

Doubtful its just the "media wanting a horse race" fallacy.
If the dems truly thought they had them locked down completely, Biden wouldn't be campaigning in Pennsylvania and Clinton wouldn't be headed for Minnesota. There's clearly movement in the polls towards Romney that require some reaction on the part of the Obama campaign.
Otherwise why waste the time and money, when it would be better spent combatting Romney in fl, va, and Ohio?

[Likely Voter]

Well today the only state they moved was MN, and did you even read what they said....

You must be logged in to read this quote.

It's also worth noting that they still have OH as lean Obama (but not NV or WI). Romney's 'lean' states include MO and AZ

Of course Cliffy doesn't read, he scans, sees good (bad) news... thinks it'll somehow effect things and posts... and posts etc.

I see that Cliffy achieved his objective. Well done Cliffy. I am tempted to compare the Mittens surge to something about Sandy, but decided that such trolling might be tasteless. My rudder might be gone, but I can still steer a bit just with my now  buffed arms.

Sure. I am just sick of all this poll addiction. Frankly I think the margin of error might be higher than normal. It's an odd election. I guess one needs to be an old to accept uncertainty with equanimity, and accept that sometimes embracing chaos is better than trying to remove each and every line in my aging face.

I knew we would move into chaos territory right after the first debate. That is all I knew. I have not learned much since.

Anyway, Cliffy got a nice rise out of his troll bait. It's kind of a contest now as to who puts out the best bait for the opposition to grab so most hungrily.

I want you to know I love alliterations. Thanks.

I'm ready for election day to be here now. While I think Obama is probably the favorite, it's pretty clear we're not going to know for sure how this will go until the votes start to come in...

Pensylvania? Somebody didn't proof read that title before it got posted on that blog.

[Ty440]

Did they move Florida to toss up yet Cliffy ?

Ah, so then you're sure, deep down anyway, that your man will lose.

No, better than that. I will greet each and every day forward no matter who wins with joy. That is my main goal in life now. When I'm happy, I tend to better be able to make others happy. How cliched and boring I know. But yes, sure it is angst time.

Every time I see Torie's posts now, I always find myself wondering: Is it an indica tonight, or is it a sativa?

That inspired me to correct two typos. Thanks!
