Good lord, the amount of ignorance on that Daily Caller website is astounding. Aghh....

I will again reiterate that the Daily Caller is run by a Cato Institute fellow who is primarily notable for being an unsuccessful game show host. (And this doesn't even go into the character questions about him being a gay basher.)

They are citing the Ras polls that have Romney +2 in Ohio, +2 in Virginia, +2 in New Hampshire, +3 in Colorado, +1 in Iowa, and tied in Wisconsin. It's really all they have at the moment

Rasmussen has Ohio tied again, starting to run out of polls to cite

Also
Forty percent (40%) of Ohio voters say they have already cast their ballots, and among these voters, the president has a comfortable 56% to 41% lead.

So if Obama gets re-elected, every single midterm democratic house and sebate candidate needs to do basically the sane campaign ad. Show Mitch McConnell saying that the #1 priority of the GOP congress is to make Obama a one tern president and their opponent failed at that goal, "You have him a chance, now put someone in there who will get things done'".

So the same guy who wrote the article on HuffPo about how all the polls could be wrong is now saying that Obama has a slight edge due to latest poll results!

Am I the only one who thinks Gallup delayed their daily tracker all the way to monday, way way way way longer than anyone else did after Sandy just so they can revert their numbers to be a lot closer to not embarass themselves come election day?


Sandy has really helped Obama gain some momentum it seems. I will be honestly shocked if he loses at this rate.

I want to see house numbers. We're so close and I haven't seen a lot of break downs on them.

Someone help me out here.

Maybe I'm crazy but I'm starting to see the numbers coming together, particularly the national poll numbers.

One way if Obama wins in 2012 that it will be better than 2008 is Republicans long gave up hope for McCain winning after Palin flamed out. This time they convinced themselves they can beat Obama and will beat him.

This is almost certainly the case. They are clearly aware that their recent results are a huge outlier.

If all the GOP can do is cite RAS polls then they are done. They might as well say "We are gonna win . . . cuz I say so!"

That's why it's called the nuclear option! When they gavel in a new Senate, anybody can raise a point of order and suggest changing the rules. Such changes require only a majority.

But can't Senate Republicans just... filibuster the rule change?

So I got the local news radio station email about contradicting polls here in Indiana. Richard Mourdock's internal polling has him ahead by 2 points over Joe Donnelly. The 3rd party candidate's polling shows Obama Joe with an ELEVEN point lead. How the hell could you possibly have that big of a difference?

1) How amazingly condescending. I know you dittoheads can't think for yourselves so please don't even try. I'll download new talking points for you soon.
2) Explain them all? Polls speak for themselves. If you want to get any more info out of them then consult 538 and Sam Wang.

Nope, the rules of the senate are held by a majority vote and can be administered at the beginning of new senate without proceeding by the leader since they are rules held only to the body of the senate rather then legislation which is what the Filibuster is only allowed to obstruct. For instance you can't filibuster reconciliation if the bill qualifies for it, senate rules are the same.

By the way, for those of you who know more about the legislative process. What kind of bills could a non-filibustered senate pass while a Republican Congress is trying to block everything? I've been curious about this for a while.

I'd like to see this answered as well... Don't want to get too excited without knowing if it'll even matter with a Republican Congress :/
