The Watchword of the RW MSM faith is: Slim

Ya know, it really pisses me off when the MSM pulls this shit. It works like this: if the Democrat in any way shape or form is leading in a poll by fewer than say, 8%, then the lead is characterized as "slim". If however a fascist Rethug bastard is leading the Dem by, say, 2%, then he/she is pulling into the "lead". If there is a 1% discrepancy then it is more complex: if the Rethuglican is on top, then it is a "small-lead-but-trending"; if the Dem is ahead, then "the-gap-is-closing-fast-and-it-is-a-virtual-tie".

I'm Mad as Hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore !!!!!

The old Kremlin could take some lessons from these wannabe Pravda-ites.

and most of their attempts to steal the elections have been thwarted.

Fuck the ReTHUGs - it's time the money cheats learn a lesson.

GOTV!! Obama has the ground game covered.
Just saw a poll with Obama at 50%.
Have a good day and pay attention to the weather.

common sense states that asswipe should be losing rather badly, but they're propping him up every which way.

Weather may be bad here...we shall see...

Have a great day!!!
