Besides the usual red states, what else?

Did they think they were going to take the swing states?

They lost it with gaffes after gaffes and strong showing by the Democrats on principle and honesty department.

It is past time for the Republicans to find themselves in the unemployment line.

There is a price to be paid for only following media which tells someone only what they want to hear. Of course, as you have correctly pointed out on a few occasions - there are some Democrats suffering from the same need to delude themselves with over confidence. It is certainly the consensus of informed opinion that President Obama holds an advantage at this point. That is as you have also pointed out -no guarantee that will be the case on November 6. I would hate to be in the mind set of anyone who thinks the election is in the bag.

So Romney is winning every swing state, and MN, and Oregon are now toss-up States. How stupid must someone be to believe that?

And did you read the narrative?

The author thinks all other polls but Rasmussen are questionable and have flawed methodology. It's bizarro world!

generate interest, but then I realized it wasn't 'close' enough for them to sell.

Not as unlikely as we may wish to think, particularly in Ohio.

In one he claims Mitt Romney actually has a ten point lead.

Don't think Chambers gets out much. He looks like he spends all day at his computer eating junk food.

Read some of his "articles" on another website and let me tell you-- omg this dude is living in bizarro world. Did you know that he can see into his crystal ball and tell us EXACTLY how the 2020 elections will turn out?




On another note, my reply title could be taken in a whole 'nother way!!
