Anyway, like all presidential elections in this day and age, it will come down to Florida and/or Ohio. Toss up.

Not true.

Obama has outspent Romney so far in 2012 and Obama has outspent 2004 Bush looking for reelection at a comparative time.

"Through February, the incumbent (Obama) has disbursed some $135.4 million on operations"....."Obama's camp has spent about $68.1 million more in operating expenditures than Mitt Romney's campaign, which has dished out about $67.3 million through the Republican primary. "

Obama Outspends Romney but PACs Level the Field - TheStreet

"In January 2012 the Obama campaign spent 158% of what it raised, while the Bush campaign spent 60% in January 2004......This perhaps explains why the White House told congressional Democrats last week not to expect a single dime for their campaign efforts from the Democratic National Committee this year. All the DNC's funds will be needed for the president's re-election."

National polls dont matter much in an election which will come down to 2-3 states.

FOX is the only news channel that can be trusted, but, let's play your little game and say their poll is slanted and Romney doesn't really lead the corrupt SOB in the polls.
What possibly can FOX, or anyone gain by saying Romney leads if he doesn't?
It makes no sense for anyone to slant a poll because that will have no effect on the election... in fact, it might work in reverse. If the dirty dems think Romney is leading, they may work harder to win, so how does that help Romney?
You get your feeling hurt and you just have to blurt out something, even if it's something stupid.............

Many reasons. It pats the backs of right wing supporters that the GOP is always #1!, people spread the propaganda such as in threads like this, it gives off a sense of "follow the leader" that many of the easily misled follow etc,..

What it creates is the people of sanity to laugh and call out the filthy GOP and their propaganda outlets for spreading more of their distorted garbage, and their obedient sheep for obeying and spreading it.

Many people like myself respect and want the truth, not distorted trash like the right wing goons love.

You can take a look at the latest Obama vs. Willard numbers for example. The only ones showing Willard in the lead not surprisingly are the two furthest right wing pollster outlets around, fox and rasmussen.
