or "that doesn't make sense one of them would win every time" for the ironing

Or like "this question is rigged, it doesn't even ask me if Mitt Romney will win! How do I vote for Romney?"

2010 was the high point of Tea Party activism. If there was any year where they'd refuse to identify themselves as GOP that would be the year yet it had an even D/R split anyways. This election will definitely be closer to 2010 than 2008.

that WI poll from marquette was big turnaround. obama had like double digit lead in late sept, then 2 weeks ago they had obama up only 1. that poll nailed the recall and are respected in WI. anyways O up 8 put WI totally out of reach imo.

the national journal poll, up 5, that seems like a good poll just from looking at the words Princeton and big sample. u cant deny the movement of 5 is nice for obama.

national journal made the rcp ave. thats gotta hurt some mitt heads seeing that big 5 going other way like gallup used to vs O.

I'll bet you 100$ that the final numbers are closer to 2008 than 2010 wrt D/R split.

"I know how to do the voting!"

Wait, do some people really think 75% favorite means 75% of the vote?

I was just speculating on the cause of drop in Republican identifiers. It could be some failure in the party ID question to get these people to say they're Republicans. Or some other variable. Hard to say. The phenomenon is manifest in plenty of polls over this season regardless of the cause.

Before people start making bets on this let's establish the objective source of the results to determine the winner of the bet.

What would you suggest? LDO figuring out where to get the final metrics from is part of making the bet...

One of my volunteers brought me meatloaf, salad and fruit for lunch. It was amazing.

National exit polls ldo.

Problem is unfortunately they went from doing exit polling in all 50 states as they have for the last few decades to only doing like 20 of the "swing states" IIRC.

I finally made it to the polls and voted today me and 5 other people all went for obama. we had to wait outside for a half hour before we could vote due to a bomb scare.

rjoe, shorted romneyFL on intrade today. counting on you to pull me through

I don't have a source but I am not the one challenging people's opinions by wanting to bet. If you want to challenge people by with a wager tell us how we determine who wins

.

my god, not sure what level you're trying to play here, but it's about the bottom of the intelligence barrel.

think about the cause, not some angle you want to push. An organization like the RC has access to bulk shipments of whatever they need for any catastrophe. A can of whatever from some deluded do gooder has the ability to create more harm than good. Now if this was your average idiot, then sure head on down to the local store and get a bag of groceries to donate.....


BUT WAIT, this is Mitt Romney, the MORMON we are dealing with. This is very relevant. In Salt Lake City the MORMONS have a warehouse that would put COSTCO to shame. They are the experts in helping out their fellow man in times of need. That last thing they would want is some yokel to show up with that bag of groceries you've been pushing. They instead use the tiding system to buy, wholesale in bulk (BECAUSE ITS MORE EFFICIENT AND CHEAPER) from the cash donated.

So, RMoney not only royally ****ed up in his political calculus, but went against his own business acumen, and that of his own religion.

RIVERMAN CANNOT QUOTE THIS POST

Jeeeee-sus. Fringe right-wing Presidential candidate Randall Terry managed to get an ad played on TV in Pittsburgh that features footage of decapitations and beheaded corpses. It's since been banned by YouTube.

"A vote for Obama helps Muslims murder Christians and Jews. I'm Randall Terry and I approve this message."

You can see the video on his website. NSFW, obv. Amazing, shocking, and sad that this is allowed to be shown as an ad on US TV. ("How bad can it be?".... bad, very bad.)

Would be more realistic if FEMA got there 3 days later and was pulling his drowned body out of the car.

Unfortunately when making bets on stuff like polling I don't get to just dictate which source we use. As much as I'd want it to be that way I'm sure the other party wouldn't want to agree. We can work it out via PM if you're interested in betting.

ETA: Seems like your jimmies are rustled for even suggesting the bet though

so sad. trending on http://www.foxnews.com/politics/index.html

1. libya libya libya of course
but #3" Romney opens Up 7 Point Lead As Electoral Map Begins to Shift". (that old gallup poll from a few weeks ago.) it really is just oh poor dears like a photo of an ex who broke up with u.

Watching Biden give a rally. Whoever said he wasn't a good political speaker was wrong. He is leagues ahead of Paul Ryan as an effective running mate.
