Read on. You have to SUSPEND belief.
Well, CERTAINLY a right-wing blog is reliable!

Obama needs to start packing.

On the campaign trail, to go back to the White House. Looks like he'll be there for four more years while Liz Warren warms up in the bullpen.

Here's the early vote/absentee numbers.

About 4 million early FL ballots cast -- and growing. Ds leading Rs by 104,000 | Naked Politics

Scroll down to bottom.

WAY OFF 2008 levels for democrats. 280,000 vote lead for dems in 2008.

If more Dems keep coming up in polls it strongly suggests that there are more dems going to be voting. The only poll that I am aware of that fudges the party ID numbers to be different than their sample actually found is Rassmussen.
I think its funny that you would call Republicans dumb, and then you go on to show that you dont have a dam clue how polls are taken..

The irony...

DISPUTE any of the points/FACTS made in the piece, especially the reg totals, early/absentee vote.

As I said many times, relying on DEM+8/9 for OH is ludicrous...just is not going to happen.

When the rock star of the dem party pulls in less than 3000 (Clinton) and the LEADER of the dem party pull in 4000 3 days before election, while ROMNEY pulls in 30,000.....forget it, the enthusiasm gap is one-sided.

You think this is good for dems? Not nearly enough to withstand GOP turnout on election day.

Reps, get used to the sound of this: "Fox News can now predict that Ohio will go to President Obama."
