I am simply asking who they are polling. I'm not saying the polling is wrong. I'm not saying anything. Merely asking. Who are they polling? .

Most of them randomly generate phone numbers. This way they end up with land lines and cell numbers. The problem is trying to predict turnout. They do this by weighting the polls based on trends from previous elections.

Oh poor mitt, digging himself a giant hole in the month of september....

Was it the olympic flubs?

Was it the the 47% flub?

Was it the insult the european flubs?

Was it the lame GOP convention?

Was it Clint Eastwood who killed his candidacy?

Was it the tax deductions for his million dollar horse?

Was it his flip flopping?

Was it his etch-a-sketch campaigning?

Was it his millions stashed overseas?

Was it his last minute adjustments to his tax returns to bump his adjusted tax rate so he didnt look like one of the 47%ers?

Was it his stiff appearance and lack of likeability?

Or was it that he was just a :censored2:bag and unqualified to be president?

Time will tell, so many options, so much material, I cant wait!

At this point I think he needs something big to happen, like the DOW cratering down to 6000. If things just kinda keep on like they are he's probably toast.

Median household income fell 1.3% and has been moving downward since '07.

Obama says he reps. the middle class........but, theirs has been lowered too.

1. Sounds like that first one is from NY. Potentially, a hotel in Watertown. Just sayin'.

2. Now, you know why I hate people. Just listen to these idiots.

This election was Mitt's for the taking.

I would agree with you, except for the fact that the GOP has gone nuts, and the TeaParty wing refused to let Mr. Romney tack back to the center after the primaries. Instead, he has to campaign as a Limbaugh-Norquist protege. The American people aren't that dumb. The TeaParty swept the 2010 elections because mid term elections generally run about 20% turnout, which favors the fervent. In a presidential year general election, the turnout is in the 60%+ range, and more people are paying attention.

For whatever reason, the GOP fell for its own 2010 propaganda, and thought their extremism could appeal to the general electorate. Look at the people Mitt had to beat out in the primaries, for heaven's sake! Herman Cain, seriously?

Karl Rove has all the cards.

This is interesting, as well. Rove's take on the electoral votes as we stand now.

Hey whats wrong ...All i hear is let the free markets work..Maybe you want the U.S.A.to have a national oil company..gasp socialism......

Free markets, free markets, free markets... what a crock.. Since REAGAN, all we have heard from the GOP is how the FREE MARKETS are wonderful things, yet, all the free markets have done in screw americans everyday.

Reagan lifted the caps on the price of a barrel of oil from $5 dollars because he said the free market would keep prices down, well, how did that work out for us??

The GOP said, creating nafta would empower the free markets and bring cheaper goods to the USA, and LEVI STRAUSS left the USA and opened in mexico, yet the prices of their products have gone up 25% despite using third world labor, how did that free market work out for us??

Washers and dryers, refrigerators and dish washers were made in toledo Ohio, and then they left for mexico, and presto, the free market has priced them 40% higher than when they were built here in the USA. How did that work out for us?

NIKE was making shoes here in the states and selling them for anywhere between 15 bucks and 30 bucks, then they left the states for the pacific rim, and guess what, the free market now has them selling shoes for over 100 dollars a pair despite only costing about 2 bucks to make. How did that work out for us??

The list goes on and on, and yet you drones still call for more free market enterprise... havent you learned anything yet about the free market?

It isnt FREE.

peace
