Also, the leftists haven't quite figured out that the swing in those "red to blue" states amounted to about 800,000 votes. That's it. 800,000.

Despite poll after poll many on the left are in 100% denial over what's going to happen in Nov. Sure, nothing is certain and things may change one way or the other a bit but come Nov the Dems are going to get slaughtered and there's nothing they can do about it. Of course the ruling party loses ground in midterm elections but these aren't typical midterms and these won't be typical loses. The Dems are scared to death and it's pretty clear that they should be, just watch how much garbage legislation they try to pus through before Nov, they know it's over for them and we'll have the first half black lame duck President sitting around doing nothing until 2012 which sounds great to me.

Heck, by this November how many old white folks will have passed on. Then you have to think about the 2012 election. A diet of biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast followed by a power lunch of fat-back chased with an RC cola and a moon-pie is not exactly the path to health. Just watching them NASCAR good old boys chasing each other in oval track is bound to cause neck problems. I reckon them liberal wackos need to just bide their time. Hell, just the continual accounts of the right-wing religious warriors succumbing to the temptations of Satan is enough to undermine the party.

Remember folks, it's not racist if you're negatively stereotyping white people.

How is it irrelevant? You were wrong back then and more than likely are wrong now.

Plain and simple, Obama needed Independents and Black voters to win the election. It should not be surprising to anyone that Independents have fled for the exit doors and Black people have settled back into their predictably apathetic ways.

The writing is on the wall.

If 4% more had voted for McCain, he would have won.. thats indeed slim, especially considering the hatred some of you have for Republicans.
Our President isn't elected by popular vote, but by electors.

That not true. It is racist when you say bad things about the white race.

Why would you bring up his skin color in that statement? How is it relevant?

It's not my poll, I didn't conduct the survey.

How am I wrong?

For posting it? Isn't that just too bad that the Left doesn't want to see or think about polls like this.

Call NBC/WSJ and tell them to stop.
