I will admit to be in shock if Romney will loose but I believe that the polls are wrong and that many people don't want to talk on a phone to a stranger and give out the info.

In a week we hopefully will know because if it is too close to call it can take some additional days...

It would only be prudent to prepare yourself for the worst, just in case.

Shady Mitt's "track record" in Massachusetts sucks.

Can't wait to see those tears of disappointment streaming down Annie's and Taggie's face on election night...

It's the economy stupid. Romney in a landslide.

The polls had Kerry up a point or two all the way until election day and Bush won a decisive victory. I think polls usually favor Democrats.

Obama supporters are highly energized though and in an election where its ultimately going to come down to turnout, I think the enthusiasm for Obama especially among young voters is going to put him over the top.

Absolutely. Anything that doesn't make Republicans look good is clearly biased.

Take a look at history and what the polls said vs the actual election results especially in 2000 and 2004. Democrats did better in pre-election polls than they did on election day. That is a fact.

As I said though, an Obama win Tuesday is guaranteed simply because of the enthusiasm of the liberal base and young voters. If Romney wins it will be nothing short of a miracle.

I see very little enthusiasm for Obama outside of a few on this forum and his msm lapdogs.
He's flat this time around.
Unfortunately, we live in an era where people are closed off and refuse to see reality, which explains Obama receiving more than 20% of the vote.

I live in Oklahoma and see far more Obama 2012 stickers than I do Romney stickers, which is surprising for such a conservative state. At least in my area, a majority of people vote Republican but the Democrats are far more enthusiastic.

In Wisconsin, I actually see more Romney signs than Obama, and by a large margin. This in a state that could make a difference . It is close here, but it's obvious where the enthusiasm lies.
Speaking of large signs, there are far more of those for Romney as well.
Base nothing on OK. It will be red no matter what. People on the opposing side of a brightly colored state tend to be more vocal.
As for bumper stickers, that seems to be more of a democrat thing. Hippies and VW's and all that.
