You are the one who is insisting on being naive. Why are you even asking that question when it has already been answered - the answer is 28.82% for 2012 plus all the other inflated numbers, even though our GDP won't exceed 2-2.5% next year and there is certainly NO 4-5% growth in wages occurring in the US anytime soon.

No. The answer is the the SS trustee report is correct.

Experts would be ALL OVER THIS HUGE ERROR if you were correct.

Sorry. You are in tin foil hat land. Goodbye.

Only when magic pigs fly from his butt. Mitt has no idea whatsoever about the struggles of the working folks.
If you liked Bush, you're gonna love Romney.

I don't think anyone realistically expected Romney to win Nevada. Obama has given Nevada and California the highest unemployment rates in the nation and they must love to be unemployed.

I did. Nevada is a strange fig - It's high Mormon presence shows a strong potential for a good turnout for Mitt Romney, while its high Latino vote bats for Obama in general.

However: The Latino vote is rarely as active as the Mormon vote, and the older folks generally go for Republicans and they have much higher turnout than the younger people who tend to vote Democrat. As I've said for months, this election will come down to voter turnout: High voter turnout means Obama wins. Low voter turnout means Romney wins.

I still tentatively stand by Mitt Romney taking Nevada due to voter turnout, though since Obama is setting up shop there today, he may be able to energize his base.

That's not what that means. If there are more Dems in a sample, that's simply a function of fewer people self-identifying as Republican. The polls capture Dem, Repub and Independents, so it's not like there's this hidden bloc of voters that's just waiting to push Romney up to 58% in the polls.

Obama getting bounce from his handling of Sandy.

Majority of Americans think Obama will win

from Oct 27-28

Obama 54%
Romney 34%

Americans Still Give Obama Better Odds to Win Election

Its interesting how republicans say the polls are flawed when Romney is down and they're the first to start posting polls when Romney is up.

Think again!

2012 Presidential Polls - 2012 Election - POLITICO.com

This is a tight race and Romney will win.

Well, there is the imaginary voters, kind of the the imaginary Romney positions. Don't count them out.
