It is like 1980,1994,2000,2004,2010 all over again,stolen elections with nothing done about it a population willing to vote to cut their own heads off.
Where do we go,are the principles of helping out our fellow citizens which this country was built and made strong on lost forever?
Will anyone investigate how polls can break several points to a challenger,have massive turnout and then he loses by a somewhat wide margin?
It just doesn`t add up and the presidency is next on thier list.
I know sooner or later this helpless and hopeless feeling will pass but dammit I am getting too hold for this.

(5,937 posts)we can guarantee we will lose many more because it prevents us from looking at ourselves, reevaluating our strategies and appealing to those who we need to convince. Same as polls that produce a desired result, oversampling and the like, though polls are often used this way to influence outcomes they also blind us to the possible realities possibly making us complacent. This is why I am not convinced about the presidents favorability against romney that was taken in Wisconsin. Rose colored glasses need to be put away for good.

Shrub is beyond dispute so that is 3 presidential ones.
Maybe not here but just too fishy right at the moment.

(5,957 posts)Polls can be manipulated and a close election might turn because of cheating. This election was not close - Barret was trounced, so the best thing do in such a case is accept that we lost, figure out why and make the appropriate changes. Sorry, but you should have figured that out by now.
