You have enough data to connect the dots to a convincing case for an Obama victory. But there is also data to suggest a deep conviction that change is needed has emerged. The last national election, 2010, was a shellacking--with dimensions that were totally unanticipated by the chattering classes. The echo chamber of NYTimes, Huffpost etc. may have deafened a lot of people to what might be actually going on with the electorate.
I am very confident that Romney will lose and thank goodness after his concesssion speech, I will not have to hear him anymore. In fact, his concession speech will be the only time as of late, that I will not turn the TV off while he speaks. Although, I'm sure he'll manage to slip a few good lies into that speech too.

As for those 2010...have you looked at the polls on the down-ticket races lately?

Change to what...Plutocracy?

To really put things in perspective, that means Willard is down to 34.7% (at the moment).

As well as that snarly Ann.

I've seen (and heard) enough of her to last me a very long lifetime; I can't imagine her representing our country as First Lady.

Stop it! This is hard!

Yes they are, but none of those states were or are expected to go to Romney. And, contrary to your statement, everyone expected a tight race. Turn out the lights, stick in the fork. However, you want to put it, the momentum has clearly turned toward the President in the waning hours.

Ya better wake and smell the coffee buddy boy. Just look at PA. Obamas numbers are going down and Romney's are moving up. States that you lefties assumed were in the bag for your boy are now becoming questionable.

I know you are scared, but you DO have to face the truth.

Even MICHIGAN is now close!! 49% O and 46% R. WIthin the margin of error. Really? That is a shock and you know it. A month ago, O had a 14 point lead. Again, wake up!

Yeah, Mittens had momentum there for a little bit but that's all but evaporated. Romney's a loser but at least he can go back to his house with the car elevator.

Anyone know when these firms stop polling? Do they go to the bitter end?
