Why do people not freak out about FEMAcare, which covers stuff, like they do OBAMAcare which covers health ? Why has no state refused help ?

fair point.

if gallup comes back and shows a tie, people will freak the fuck out.

I wonder if they will do 7 polling days or just the last 7 days (so like 4 polling days).

Obama: When America has a setback we come together and help each other.
Romney: People coming together is "interesting".

It was this property owner (a Marina I think?) whose lot was destroyed and had no insurance. She was obviously clearly distraught, but met with Obama/and the FEMA Chief and felt comforted by them telling her that recovery help was quickly on the way.

It was simply an affirmation that his presence there helped and was appreciated by those who are hurting at the moment.

US President Barack Obama (3rd L) hugs North Point Marina owner Donna Vanzant as he tours damage done by Hurricane Sandy in Brigantine

Because socialism.

Listen, I grew up in a socialist country and I have seen what that does to people. There is no hope, no freedom, no pride in achievement. The nation became poorer and poorer.

HAHAHA, I love Poligaf.

Poligaf is better than fat jokes re Christie. There is enough to criticize him for policy wise.

 

[Particle Physicist]

your job is just to ensure no shenanigans take place at the poll you are working at. there will also be a presiding judge from the other party there, too. you'll also report back data to your local precinct head every hour when the voter rolls are updated.

For some reason, the republican party here thinks I'm one of them and they have been trying to recruit me as a judge. If I had the time I'd do it!

The amount of old white men here in Kansas is mind boggling.

Long ass line for early voting.

That's about 99% of Kansas I believe.

I raise you:

 

[Angry Grimace]

C'mon people. Gallup's going to come back with a 52-44 Romney or something. You know it and I know it. The only way they're going to come back to Earth is if someone in the Gallup office decides they don't want to be discredited and they change their polling method overnight to produce intentionally ambiguous results.

[daedalius]

+2 Obama in Kansas, as much good as that will do.

No first names on ballot either, maybe they didn't want to confuse voters with mitt and williard

 

[ErasureAcer]

Would be funnier if Romney was dressed up as Frankenstein's monster or a Robot or something.

Would be funnier if all the kids had a thought bubble thinking the same thing.

I call it a tie but both are effective...unlike a Wolf Blitzer tie where Romney obviously is not.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Ugh

How do you even get a ballot if you're not at the right polling place?

 

[speculawyer]

No. We should talk about his policies. I find it quite ironic that he is feeding at the trough of Federal dollars right now while he expects the nation to tighten its belt.

I can't help it.

Too bad it's gonna effect election day voters who are pro-Romney.

How do you cast a ballot in the wrong place? What does that even mean?

Poll worker error which is what the whole lawsuit was about

 

[pigeon]

How do you even get a ballot if you're not at the right polling place?

Ohio sometimes has two precincts with one polling location. Technically, the two precincts are different polling places -- so if your ballot has the wrong precinct number on it, which can happen if the poll worker takes a ballot from the wrong stack, you're out.

 

[speculawyer]

People go to the wrong polling place, wait through the line, and the find out they are not in the right place so they vote a provisional ballot.

Yeah, I've seen those. Don't think I've ever seen a separate machine for the different precincts though. This just sounds like if you don't like a person's vote you can toss it out by putting it in a different precinct pile.

To further clarify...if you do get a wrong ballot as you suggest...your votes should still count for races which are the same in either precinct. If that's not the case...then that's bullshit.

 

[Lambtron]

Are these precincts largely in areas populated by poors and minority folks?

Do we know how many votes are affected?

Its been too damn close for too damn long now.

And yes, anything under 80/20 is too damn close for me.

 

[Hobbestetrician]

EV count has ticked up a bit on 538. It's funny, because the media keeps saying, "it's a close race!"

I have grown increasingly more confident the past 2-3 days and my only question is whether or not Obama breaks 300 EVs (I think he does).

Man the Romney camp is absolutely spiraling off the rails now

Obama has a political enviroment problem,” Romney pollster Neil Newhouse said. “He’s got an intensity problem, he’s got an image problem and he’s got a ballot problem — and they all add up to a challenging Tuesday next week.”

“We feel we are in a very good place, that this race is exactly where we had hoped it would be a week out,” senior adviser Russ Schriefer said.

“Right now their firewall is burning,” political director Rich Beeson told reporters.

Obama is “stuck well below the 50 percent threshold in almost every mark that you can take, whether it’s the national polls or whether it’s the state polls.”

That is their response to today's polling numbers.

It's basically house on fire behavior at this point.

 

[Black Mamba]

Incest is so rare, I mean, it’s so rare. But the rape thing…you know, I know a woman who was raped and kept her child, gave it up for adoption, she doesn’t regret it. In fact, she’s a big pro-life proponent. But on the rape thing, it’s like, how does putting more violence onto a woman’s body and taking the life of an innocent child that’s the consequence of this crime, how does that make it better? You know what I mean?

STOP TALKING ABOUT RAPE AND ABORTION IDIOTS

Fox News actually commissions a GOP and Dem pollster in tandem. As a result, Fox News polls are actually quite reliable

In this case, they actually are fair and balanced. go figure.
