It pretty much fucked everything up, it's just that the city stuff is reported on more due to how many are affected by things like subway closures.
Southern Style Green Beans are fucking delicious.
Well, he said most of the trackers aren moving upward which isn't true. Only ABC did yesterday, either there was a slight romney bump (Reuters/Ipsos & RAND) or no movement at all (Ramussen/Gallup/PPP).
Edit: lol signs outside the event Romney is holding this morning calling it a campaign rally

Good job hiding your true intentions there Mitt.

It sounds like Upstate didn't get too much damage, though. At least not anything on the scale of Irene.

If you're that cavalier about voting--"let's go grab McD's oh hey look there's a polling place"--you are probably not registered, or rarely vote and have no idea where your polling place is. You are an extremely unlikely voter and would probably be vastly outnumbered by the people who want to vote and definitely have the free time with a day off.
Well it hasn't made it up there yet, its going through there today apparently. It has weaked quite a bit though.
Damn. I'm glad I went on a Monday morning then
..for Romney. I live in a very red district

This thread moves too fast. What did I miss?
On my way tO work this morning I saw a huge sign that said "vote and win a gun!". I'll see of I can get a picture on my way on tomorrow.

I'm on my phone and can't get graphs but I meant over the last week.
Cheebs is bumming everyone out.

I'm down in Broward, which is the most Democratic county in the state, so your two statements may have to do with one another.
You could say that about every page in the last several OTs.

Interesting personal anecdote:
In this election season, I have not gotten one single call on my cell phone from a pollster. (I'm 25 and I don't have a land line.)
My parents get multiple calls almost every single day from pollsters, both legitimate and partisan.
I lean liberal, my parents lean conservative. We're in Ohio, BTW.

7 days left, remember Gaf dont Re-nig, Co-mitt!

This fucking guy. Holy shit it's deplorable what he's doing. Announce cancellations to look above the fray, then rename your rallies to seem sympathetic and do business as usual. This is some fucking evil marketing. I really hope he gets called on this. Fuck this guy.
Realistically, that's exactly the type of voter Obama would want to try to reach- the ones that WOULD vote on the way to McDonalds whereas they otherwise wouldn't. Hell, the Obama ground game would probably take them to McDonalds and then to go vote.

I'm 32, have never received a phone call re: polls. Live in a red county of a red as hell state, and I'm wildly conservative. Oklahoma. Yee-haw.

Need someone to inject some hopium in me STAT.
Just read Dax's re-post.
If only the media had a backbone so this would backfire. But they don't, so it won't matter.

Sounds like a sitcom to me. Debbie Diablos!
Obama has not been down in any of the polling aggregate websites in Ohio even ONCE the entire year. Closest was Obama +0.7% in the immediate aftermath of the Republican Convention.
Obama has been ahead in Virginia for ALMOST the entire year and has a far superior ground game there.
Obama is essentially ahead in every battle ground state for almost every day of the campaign, including New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nevada, Michigan, Minnesota. Hell, you can lose Ohio and with states like these, you can still win. (Although Romney has a clear advantage in Florida and North Carolina)
Obama has infinitely superior get out the vote efforts, microtargeting efforts, early voting efforts, field office numbers. Has outspent Republicans in many of the key swing states. Has had almost no flubs the entire campaign season outside of that first debate.
To me the worst case is Obama might lose the popular vote... and that's a shame. But he's winning the election.
Expected. Romney is completely tone death. I just hope the media actually calls him on this bs.
Not to dig down too aggressively on this, but I think there are three categories of voters that we're talking about here. On one hand we have people who will definitely vote and on the other hand we have people who by and large won't vote at all. The group I'm focusing on is the group of people who are prepared to vote but then don't because life gets in the way -- these are the people that Obama's focusing on, and with a holiday, they will have way more opportunity to do so.
But, again, what do you think the McDonald's voters are going to be doing all day? McDonald's is closed! They don't have anything fun to do. Some percentage of them will go vote out of boredom.
The media had better fucking report this as him going back on his word to stop campaigning during the hurricane stuff, while Obama is clearly not campaigning and doing his job.

Since it's reporters saying it's a campaign event, you would think they'd report on this being a campaign event.
But that's probably asking too much. They've done their civil and professional duty by sending a tweet.
In fairness, I think Cheebo means the guy from NPR. He might actually report on it.

Sadly, CNN politicker's top headline is Romney speaks with FEMA. Of course, that makes him look presidential. Their next story is Romney holding Storm Relief Event. They will not report Romney's campaign rally because that will sink his campaign.
A guy from BuzzFeed at the event is also tweeting so far it is exactly like a regular Romney rally.

277 EVs minimum, unless (LOL) the conservative state poll truthers prove correct, or god forbid, the final state polls show significant movement in Romney's direction.
?????
Pretty sure we're well past this point.

I question the analysis that Chris Christie isn't playing politics. C'mon people.
He made a comment about a tweet he didn't like. But immediately got back on track. Kinda...tame for him.

Damned if he is, damned if he isn't. At least he's got his gameface on.

Reporter tweeted if he would cancel Halloween, if his power knew no bounds.
Christie response: It doesn't when it comes to this, I'll move halloween if I have too.
