I still wonder about how the popular vote will go, although the national polls' movement over the past few days has me second-guessing. If we keep on going in this direction over the next few days, I'm giving the edge to Obama.

Ugh.
Made even more embarrassing by the fact that half of them are wearing OSU gear.
(I swear to God we're not going to screw this up.)
Wait, is that lady at 0:55 the same crazy lady at the McCain rally 4 years ago?

we're rapidly barrelling towards the land of "statistical impossibility" on that one.
His only hope is that all polls, or the science thereof are somehow magically wrong in his direction.
Any state polls today?
Sorry I haven't been able to be in here due to my fuck up
you could have fled in here. Make the bastards chase you
I think we got only a CNN poll for CO that had Obama up 2.Any state polls today?
Sorry I haven't been able to be in here due to my fuck up
Oh and a SUSA poll that had Obama up 4 in NV.
Yea the national polls as of late aren't showing a split decision. They are coming in line with the state polls
The Ipsos polls had Obama up 5 in VA, 2 in FL and OH, down 1 in CO.
The Rasmussen numbers will blunt the impact of these polls, though. Don't expect too much movement in the 538 cast.
What a goddamn joke of a channel.
Those are daily tracking though are they not?
andddddddd Hannity starts is show bashing Obama for "constant camp OH WTF HE JUST CALLED THIS OBAMAS KATRINA. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF THIS I"M OUT
Mexicans would do the same job for half the salary and twice as hard. Sorry, they deserve those jobs, not these lazy bastards who got them because they just happened to be there or know someone. A lot of people have jobs they don't deserve. They need to go back to a reasonable level of income for the amount of work they're doing (which is very low) or better leave their jobs for those who can do them better.
For an example of possibly the worst local government, look no further than Santa Monica. Complete nightmare. They invest in sensors in parking meters so they zero out when the car leaves even if there are 2 hours left on the clock. They deserve the hurricane, not the Jersey Shore.
After this bout, I'm seriously considering moving to Texas.
Ahh there it is, took them long enough!

538 just updated.
80.8%
80.8%
really? how did obama manage to screw this up in his eyes?
Nothing sounds quite like an 808.
Damn.
Yesterday Rush Limbaugh blamed the aftermath of Katrina on its victims. Seriously.
I have no working CD player nor tape deck in my car and other than All Things Considered and Morning Edition I do not receive NPR programs. This has resulted in me listening to Rush Limbaugh during my commute. It has been an eye opener; Rush Limbaugh can be a bit of a dick.
thanx officer buzzkill
You are kind of like Kosmo in the fact you pop in "Obama down X amount of points" and then we don't hear from you much until the next time you want to alert us Obama is down lol
Thank god the election is next Tues
So Romney +3 by Tuesday?
Ohio has crossed 80% and is now Likely Obama.
Ugghhh, I'm ashamed. Just occurred to me as I continued to watch that Mormonism is still a branch of Christianity. Dunno what I was thinking.
I'm guessing that Hannity saw the poll that 79% of people approved of Obama's handling of the hurricane and needs to chip away at that. I mean, comment on the news with factual and critical thinking.

That's not totally crazy. Just depends on what central tenants one deems necessary to be under that umbrella. Muslim/Atheist should make your head explode. It's basically being a theist and an atheist.

Biased media indeed . . . at Fox. The other day I went to the home pages of abcnews.com, cnn.com, cbsnews.com, nbcnews.com, and news.yahoo.com . . . not a single one had a story about Benghazi or Libya. Fox News is just in an echo chamber trying to manufacture a scandal for Obama.
Kinda surprising too. The Romney team got their chance at the second debate to push their view of the issue to 65 million viewers. Romney alleged that Obama did not say "Act of Terror" for two weeks after the incident and got totally HUMILIATED LIVE when Candy told him he was wrong . . . the crowd even laughed and applauded.
The Fox News crowd has been butt-hurt ever since and has been flogging it hard. But as someone pointed out . . . "They got whiskey dick" on that issue. Give it up.

Dear lord is that what he originally wrote? This is part of the reason why I hate tracking polls.
Cheebs, dear, please stop your schtick or your act or whatever it is. It's annoying.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Fuck, I was already embarrassed for my home state before watching this. I'm so glad I didn't see any family or friends in that video.
Mr. Cheebochev, tear down this post.
I listened to him a few times, mainly on ski trips into am only territories (AKA Montana) and what really struck me is the level of his misogyny.
And I don't mean in it the "war on women" talking points kind of way, I mean that he sounds like a bitter old fuck who was rejected by one too many women.

Haha, he even knew it was too far of a troll and toned it back down a little. Amazing, a troll caught in his natural habitat.
Favorite Fox News Benghazigate thing: The " They Knew" graphic with obama, rice, and clinton's eyes closed, head down pictures. It is fantastic.
Totally agreed. I'd already corrected/shamed myself.

Nah, your initial impulse was pretty key.
Technically it's about as Christian as Islam.
Having another prophet and all that jazz.
Well he is going to PA, on Sunday, that should help!

Is that Big Bird rally still going on this weekend? Wonder how many will show up.
Wait, don't you think it's strange he's not visiting VA or CO? Is that a sign they think both are already lost? Oh, man. Epic ffs. It's so scary.
Surprise. Libya is still chaotic. And although the elections were a welcome development, the process will be turbulent. What's most worrisome is the abundance of heavy armaments. The proliferation of weapons throughout North Africa has not only destabilized Libya, but the insurgencies in Mali and perhaps even Niger and Somalia are profiting. It's essential the government of Libya inhibit the flow of weapons. But as I've noted in previous posts, they may be helpless in that respect.
I didn't. It's neither interesting nor informative. It misconstrues many of the sources; did they even read them? For example, "Polls don't matter because it's the fundamentals, such as the economy, that decide elections." They erroneously present Dickinson's stricture as evidence to ignore polls. But that's a terribly inaccurate characterization. Rather, Dickinson argues that polls lack theoretical value. A poll cannot explain an election, whereas the fundamentals explain vote share. They possess value for theorizing about electoral determinants. Dickinson readily acknowledges polls are useful for forecasting. However, polls in June, when the article was posted, are largely irrelevant. His intention is to caution against the media's obsession with polls early in the cycle when they're uninformative. That article was shit.I found this article interesting:

Maybe you guys (from both sides) should temper your premature partying a bit
Generally speaking, Mormons see themselves as Christians, but Christians don't see Mormons as such.
The Christian part of that equation seem to be changing, and this election is no doubt contribute to it, and I think that's a good thing.
