A Message To The MSM [View all]

Will you please quit showing all these national polls already? Yes, we get it--about 47% of the country is made up of ignoramuses who will vote against their own fiscal interests no matter what. Okay. But national elections are determined by the electoral college, not by popular vote, meaning that there are essentially 50 separate presidential elections nationwide. And whenever there is a tie in the electoral college, then the House votes for president. There is no logical reason why it is necessary for you to continue showing national polls and attempting to make it seem like a horse race when everyone knows Romney is losing in just about every battleground state, so please stop. Thank you.
