You can't make this up -- an "America Needs Romney" blimp crash-landed Sunday in a heavily Democratic area of Florida. Rumor has it that all it needed was more hot air.
Those polls are created by news organizations to keep the election closer than it actually is. Watch the popular vote after the election. I bet every single poll in the past six months will have been proven to be poor indicators of the true mood of the nation and their preferences for President. The President has a better chance if people think he could loose so they have to get out and vote.
Kal, you are ABSOLUTELY correct regarding close polls.
I tend to be the guy who sits back and observes the entire 'machine' in motion, how things are timed to 'suddenly appear', like back in 2000 with Gore on cover of 'Rolling Stone', late-breaking weekend-before-election report of Bush DUI in Northeast, etc.. That election was a dead-heat in actuality, but for most, it's nonsense.
Zogby, Gallup, and Rasmussen all have Rom up 5-6% over the President for the last few weeks, yet NBC Nightly News last night reported 'their' own MSNBC poll stating dead-heat at 47%.
It's ALL for ratings, folks. Pure and simple. Hence why all the polls for last 4 elections have been 'dead-heats'. Networks aren't stupid...: Dead-Heats always bring viewership up.
Rom also has Electoral Lead over the President per realclearpolitics.com, but that doesn't really mean anything at this point. States can easily change up, and the toss-up states can go either way, despite who's 4-5% points ahead on popular vote.
University of Colorado's predicting a Rom win, having not been wrong in over 30yrs of predicting, we'll just have to see.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Let's hope it's a harbinger of Romney's election results. I can't believe he's neck-and-neck with Obama. WTF is this world coming to????

Spot on about the polls. Just network BS for ratings.
