Uh...that quote came straight from the poll from Des Moines Register. I didnt write it. They basically say the percentages dont matter cause republicans reverse it on election day. Just pointing out your selective filter and spin.

you go at it with red glasses though, thats why you think itll be a republican runaway. if you take the glasses off and look at the polls and the futures, you would see that your boy isnt looking to hot.

i think he lost the election in the last debate when he said i agree with the president on everything.

you also have no viable, realistic way to 270 when you exclude michigan, pa, and nevada which are essentially democratic safe wins, and ohio(which righties say they can win without)

you also have strong leaning iowa and wisconsin to dems.

you say romney wins them all, i say go to vegas and place a bet you win more money. my bookie has Romney Michigan +450, Pennsylvania +575. you bet a 100 bucks and parlay the two, you win 3612 bucks. yet thats what you say is certain to happen.

you are either nostradamus, or you are wearing red colored glasses.

Whether it is you who said it or you are quoting something you saw in the story, it is not a finding of the poll; it is the GOP in denial mode - empty words of desperation from a losing campaign. IA is going Obama if it hasn't already.

No. I dont think Romney wins MI, and probably not PA (although he is close). He will win Ohio, NC, FL, CO, IA, NV and WI

I almost feel sorry for him. He's going to drink his life away Tuesday night.

Gallup and Rasmussen are the biggest most right wing polls period Rasmussen has had R Money up by a min of 3 almost the whole time since may even when all other polls had Obama winning

I don't think I have to worry.

Republican nominee John McCain won more votes than Obama on Election Day in 2008. In his 2004 re-election bid, President George W. Bush also won more votes in Iowa on Election Day and won the state, overcoming Democrat John Kerry’s lead in early voting.

go ahead and put Iowa down as Red.
Good luck with that.

thats what i say when i say your not being realistic.

Ohio Romney +220
North Carolina Romney -460
Florida Romney -175
Colorado Romney +140
Iowa Romney +250
Nevada Romney +450
Wisconsin Romney +300

you say romney wins all 7 of those states, 5 of those being underdogs, 4 of the 5 being a decent underdog, and florida being a tiny romney edge. go to vegas and parlay that, place a hundred and youll win 28,000.

realistically you could convince me that romney would win 3 of those. when you start talking about big dog states like nevada, wisconsin, then i know you arnt being serious.
