Dig the titles:


"Mitt Romney vs. Barack Obama: Heavily skewed swing state polls"

"Will the skewed pollsters straighten up and fly right?"

"The skewed polls issue and why it is important"

"How Mitt Romney is actually defeating Barack Obama in the presidential race"

"Mitt Romney vs. Barack Obama: A look at five electoral vote projections"




I predict they'll be able to pimp out this allegedly "skewed" polling crap for maybe two or three more days. By the time of the first debate, it's gonna be even more preposterous to pretend Mittens is getting anywhere even close to the White House!

From 2005-07, there was a significant decline in the people who identify as Republicans. Maybe Hurricane Katrina opened people's eyes.

More denial of reality:

This four percent margin for Obama among the independents varies greatly from most other national surveys of the presidential race that show a Romney lead of 10-14 percent among independents.


10-14%? Uh, no: Gallup average for Sept 3-23 has independents at Romney 44, Obama 43. And the "47%" Romney video only came out on the 17th. A lead for Obama of 4% among independents is probably a low number, at this stage.

Haven't heard from Bagdad Bob for a while, but some of the stuff coming out of the wingnut denial machine sounds a lot like him.
