BTW, Bob Beckel is a staunch Democrat.

It would seem that the Barack Obama experiment is over.
So NOW the Wingers TRUST the polls

You got that right. Some days are more stupid than others and I have turn it off. The ignorance is incredible.

I often wonder if they're getting their "news" from another galaxy. Some of them watch C-Span all the time - but nothing sinks in. Very scary.

Why do you want to rip up the constitution, hold you middle finger up to the founder fathers, and reign in hard right wing corporatist fascism?

Perhaps I can help - all elections are local.

National Elections are won at the District level. The election started when the gerrymandering cases started coming out of court. Romney's difficulty lies in the fact that where it matters most, he is behind in voter registrations (if everyone votes), and he alienated groups that may have considered him had it not been for his rhetoric as an "EXTREMELY Conservative" candidate.

You're losing where it matters, in the population centers. Haven't you wondered why the statisticians have your candidate soo far behind? This is a game for pro's, and pro's play local.

Default This is close to the truth

Good electoral map. I see President Obama taking Colorado, North Carolina, and possibly Florida as well, even though he doesn't need these three states to beat Romney.

Pubs are sweating and desperate as the inevitable rains down on them like the hot sun in the Sahara desert.

I use to watch it all the time but also stopped tuning in from all the he-haw right wing nutcases with the mental capabilities of 3 year olds that kept calling in, spewing the latest crap they heard at fox and friends that morning. It's unreal how much the right wing propaganda machine has brainwashed these people.

Though it is funny when people troll the show with curses and what not

Than why are you still here trying to convince people? I'm mean if he's not winning anything, why continue posting about the election?

Gallup evidently just shifted over from registered voters to likely voters in their polling results, and when they've done so in the past, the way that they calculated likely voters produced shifts that were very inconsistent with other polls, and very inconsistent with actual election results. For instance, in 2010 Gallup predicted a 15% advantage for R's nationally, when the actual voting results were 6.8%. Gallup is once again the outlying poll, showing numbers way off from the rest of the polling firms. The RCP average is going to be a lot more accurate.
