Easily. Thank God for PEC/538 though, it just makes this shit all the more laughable.
He started sniffing his own farts.
He was granted saint hood when (during the 2008 Primaries) he dared to point out the math wasn't in Hillary's favor and Obama was going to get the nomination.
That is pretty much it...he's been as bad (and sometime worse) as any other pundit out there.

In Virginia in comparison to 2008, Obama down 13% in early voting. Romney down just 1.1%.
Those will be signed, sealed and delivered on Monday. Unlike Silver and Wang, I'd rather focus on my algorithm making sure it accurately predicts the results rather than using it as a springboard for national fame or twitter spats.
PoliGAF will never be tolerable again. And yet, I can't quit you.

Oh My God, this is bad news for Barry
Mitt Romney responds to FEMA question

A shocking about-face from a man that usually sticks to his principles and core beliefs in all manners of life and politics.

I'm so glad they bothered to ask him about Paul Ryan's massive FEMA cuts.

Enjoy it while it lasts, guys.
You're probably right. PoliGAF spent much of the Obama administration complaining that it wasn't liberal enough, so it'll most likely continue.
Reading that Green Party thread in the OT is a headache. Can we make a PragmaticPoliGAF where we acknowledge that it's okay that we don't live in a liberal utopia?
At this point the election is so close it is even possible to call it a bump when there's not enough time for the bump to recede?

Having a panic-induced seizure as we speak.
who?
Statistics: How do they work?
Yeah, but that way is unskewed:
politico said:
Literally, this is Dean Chambers's argument, and now it's the official Romney argument.

He's expanding it!
if your in house polling adviser is arguing that a midterm election affiliation breakdowns should be used in a general election you should fire your in house polling adviser.

PANIC.
It will be worst case scenario, come down to Ohio and drag on for weeks about who won.
This is the single most comforting thing I've read about the campaign in days. Romney is losing, they know they're losing, and now their desperation is expanding to comical proportions. Flail more, Mitt. Dance for me.

Yep. This is early-October McCain flailing territory.
Yeah, the McCain campaign had enough time to reach acceptance. Not enough time for Romney so we get maximum hilarity until election day

LOL. There is no push for early voting in Virginia, because you can't vote early unless you have an excuse, so you can't derive anything from those numbers. Pretty poor attempt at trolling

Fork 'em, Sparky!
No way, according to Fox News reputable sources like Newt Gingrich, Karl Rove, etc, etc, etc
Romney is winning by at least 3%. He is looking like a 300+ EV win.
No joke, this is literally what they said as of last night. How can a group of people be so deluded?
it's their job
I think they probably know this thing's done, but they're the cheerleaders of the party so they don't want to be the ones to say it out loud.

Shockingly missing from this: MN, PA, and MI. Obama must have already conceded those states.
Wonder why he's only visiting NV once, though. A sign of confidence, I suppose.

dat OH and WI
I really don't understand how these guys can keep to these grueling schedules for such a long time.
They're not deluded. They're deluding others.

Hrm. Pretty telling NC isn't on that list.

Jesus Christ at all those Ohio stops. Including spending the entire day there on Friday?
No NC is kind of foreboding on what Obama thinks his chances are there, though.
Obama is leading on-average in all of those states in recent polling except Florida. At this point they simply just need to lock in what's safe in order to coast past 270. He needs to give up on North Carolina and just let the ground game in Florida do it's work; holding onto the midwest is literally all he needs to do to prevent Romney from winning.
NC is not a tipping point state. If Obama keeps WI and OH, it's ovah.
That's Romney's fallback to taking Ohio. Keep it and OH safe, and Romney has no path.

1 visit: NV, VA, FL, NH
2 visits: CO, IA
3 visits: WI
4 visits: OH
Definitely the takeaway here is that Obama doesn't think it's worth his time to fight in NC. Which doesn't actually mean he doesn't think he can win it, just that he wants to cover his bases.
He's pretty much hitting the swing states in order of importance/swinginess -- the one visit states either aren't important, or aren't that close. (Although apparently he doesn't really think he's going to win Florida.) Wisconsin and Ohio are a winning coalition, so obviously he should spend as much time there as possible.
This is a pretty pragmatic schedule -- win the election first, worry about bonus states later.

Obama winning NC by not going there would be some ninja ish
how would fox news/cnn etc spin that?

He's playing small ball. He's in Roanoke County right now (where I live), speaking at a business (Integrity Windows and Doors). There might be 500 people at that rally
