This is what you call momentum:

Like I have been saying for some time now, Romney is going to get Iowa's electoral votes

oh, has Bain bought up some voting machines in Iowa now as well?

I hope so.

Seems to me, the ones trying commit voter fraud are all Democrats:

NC Voting Machines Turn Romney Votes Into Obama Votes

Besides it was the Liberals that kicked this fresh turd on a hot day.
Back in 2000 when they couldn't dictate that invalid votes should have counted for "THIER" guy. So it was the Liberals that tweaked the system in hopes it would give them the edge. The Republicans as always took that shit from them and beat their simple dumb ass senseless with it. It would be my hope that republicans manage to rig the machine in their favor for every election until the Liberals demand we do away with the electronic voting machines that THEY championed.
Dumb pathetic twats.

At this point during the 2010 election, more than 2600 people over the age of 110 had allegedly already voted in North Carolina.

Did you mean to say "disparate" times or "desperate" times?

Whew! What a relief! For a minute there I was all scared that Obama was still winning both the popular and electoral vote. Oh... wait.... he still is. Drats!

Melmakian says

The ones you WANT to see or the real ones that reflect actual reality?

All polls reflect the biases of their sample group and the people conducting the poll. That includes elections.

I'm looking at basically all of the polls combined. Hence both liberal and conservative-leaning polls and the general state of the race is that Obama has a fairly pronounced lead in the electoral count and a modest lead in the popular vote.

Philistine says

All polls reflect the biases of their sample group

With out a doubt.
I think if any Poll actually represented the truth, then one of the candidates would be out Kingware shopping.

Poll results are serve two purposes, one poll you would release to build momentum, then a poll you would release showing the competition winning to scare supporters that are sitting on the fence.

IN other words it would behoove either side to release polls at different times showing either candidate winning. Not always just showing that your side is winning. That can work against you.

this fresh enough for you?

I wish the polls would decide who the next President will be.

Its the mark of your utter lack of character that you'd even joke about such a thing.

Its also the mark of of your lack of character that you just accept that "each side" releases flawed and manipulated polls to support themselves.

Is also a flaw of of your character that you don't seem to recognize or admit that there are independent polling sources who have provided consistently accurate measures of the state of things over the years.

I think that the Rand Poll is the one that polls the same group over and over, but I don't know the group make-up in regards to D-R-Ind. Obama is pulling away and widening the gap daily.

you might have thought Ohio has a majority of Ds in Congress
.. but that is not the case.

If Character was hard currency I'd have enough to buy and sell you five times over, and still have a few cents left over to buy Obama a new act.

Sure...

Or maybe just the old 'downing effect':
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_superiority

May I also point out that you're aggressively supporting a candidate who has no real position on any topic he's spoken on, has been shown in study after study to be lying out of his ass regarding his economic plan, and would sodomize you with a golf club if he thought it wpuld make him 10 more cents... Okay I made the last one up, but I think it's a fairly accurate distillation.

So if you measure character in terms of the ability to continue with blind stupid faith, then yeah, you got me beat.

Ah, and just saw this, maybe this is a polling opinion close to your liking and character: Conservative pollster: Nate Silver is wrong because he is ‘thin and effeminate’

Madonna was booed for telling her audience to Vote Obmama.
We're talking about an audience that was there to see a lady that wears titty missles. Can't get much more Liberal than that.
Even the liberals are tired of his Shit.

Elwood P Dowd says

PS: I do think Obama will win, but that as rhetoric moved to reality post-election the reality of the difference between an Obama and Romney administration would've been as hard to make out as the difference between two lima beans.

I don't know about that. After thinking it through, I'm of the opinion that it might make a huge difference in ways that are not so intuitive.

Romney will not have nearly the resistance from congress that Obama does. Initially, this realization caused me to ponder whether a ROmney admin might be better at addressing problems than an Obama admin in 2013 - 2016 (not withstanding possible supreme court impact). But then I considered what ROmney would potentially get done, in collaboration with an ultra right wing house, and in deals with the senate. Strong possibilities include:

Massive decreases in tax revenues

Increased government spending on military

Privatizing government services that should not be privatized.

It's impossible to predict what the outcome of massive deficit increases, and a dramatic further increase in wealth inequality, but a good guess is that it would mean that we move closer than ever to being like a third world country. Not to even mention the possiblilty of another unnecessary war.

Do "desparate" times also call for disabling spellcheck?

The more you folks call people stupid and racists, that rationalizing voting for a man they believe will do a better a job than Obama. The more you're proving the sentiment in the sign zzyzzx posted right.
I mean most white people have only had four years of being called Stupid, Racist, and every other vile word in the book. Though you might not think these guys shouldn't care about the religious class you're really despising. They are somebodies folks at the end of the day. And it begins to ware on them and they feel you're also attacking all white people. It was the Left that has made this election about Race, and now that is biting them in the ass they are pissed off. The funny thing, these guys aren't voting because they think Obama is black and they hate him. NO, they are revolting the apologist Liberal nanny in your face let's regulate everything you do, then call you names Liberals.

Even black guys are called names for Voting republican. The ones that actually want to make a life for them selves, aren't with the White Liberal agenda.

"Here you go live over here in the projects while we go to Ivy League schools, and we'll give you a check every month. Poor poor you, Whittie is always trying to keep you down."

They are on to that shit too. But you refuse to believe that even the case.

CaptainShuddup says

Desecrate times calls for disparate measures.

Captain, I must ask, are you really a programmer and if so then how do you function? Computers are extremely literal, so even the slightest error of spelling, word choice, or syntax can result in failure. Also, computers demand rigorous logic. Reading your comments, I cannot imagine you programming computers.

Then again, I also can't believe Marcus claiming to be a math teacher.

curious2 says

so even the slightest error of spelling

I don't have to worry about the string values goes inside the quotes.
That is either user supplied or came from the database. Most good programmers are famous for typos and their penmanship is horrendous.
Syntax errors on the other hand is far less subtle and are usually caught as I type them. Sure my parameter names may be misspelled, but I really don't care.

I have a motto, I'm not concerned with what something is called, I only worry about what it does. It's a different thought process I guess. But I'm always the guy people go to when they are through pulling their hair out over a complex problem. Just don't ask me to document it.

Uh Oh there goes more of those Liberal biased unsubstantiated facts Patrick swears by.

You are saying that NONE of those things happened??

That figures, and that not only follows the rational of the whole right wing in regards to themselves, but toward others too.

Melmakian says

Proof please. For all 50 'incidents'. Thank you.

I'l reply with the standard right winger answer: "Go look it up your self, I'm not your Google-bitch". I will give you a hint though, check Crooks and liars because they had a running total.Melmakian says

They're called the oathkeepers or some stupid shit like that, which you're probably a member of.

What cops have been killed by identified registered Republicans in the name of 'ideology'?

LOLOLOL I've always say right wingers can't, and won't fight to save anybody's life or even their own, but they talk a mile of shit like they can. Now it's proven.

Well you know if Politicofact said it then that's good enough for them. They don't need no stinking sources.

Politicofact does nothing but quote someone, then they produce a graphic that confers with their opinion. It's not like the Liberal media doesn't think everyone but them is stupid. Gullible wouldn't be a far stretch.

Desperate Democrats are now hanging their hopes on a new Quinnipiac University/New York Times/CBS News poll showing the president with a five-point Ohio lead. But that survey gives Democrats a +8 advantage in turnout, the same advantage Democrats had in 2008. That assumption is, to put it gently, absurd.
