I wonder if Nate Silver actually had any appreciable impact in killing the Romentum story line because it was pretty much dominating headlines prior to Sandy.

Uh, I thought the whole Diebold thing was true, now you guys are implying it was fake? So there was never any tampering or ''faulty'' machines?
I'm sorry, how does Obama's Katrina equate to an Obama victory?

wowMitt Romney said:
"Elect me and House Republicans will let the hostage live"
Oh so you won't be repealing Obamacare on day 1? Romnesia.Mitt Romney said:
What can we do to make 2014 better than 2010? I know that it's a long way off, but it seems like something fundementally needs to change with the way the public views midterm elections.
Maybe a bunch of independents can run to take advantage of popular disgust with the two parties, but then caucus with the Dems when they get elected. Just don't tell anyone about the plan.

This describes most republicans I know. By default they assume that polls lie, that data or statistics lie, that the President fixes gas prices for political opportunism, that scientists are not to be believed, that news organizations that aren't parroting the talking points of the republican party are biased against them, etc.
He predicted that Obama would win in 08 (and he also predicted he would win some ridiculous states like West Virginia and Tennessee, with South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana being the only three swing states in the country).

Civil rights division of the DOJ is going to be sending people to watch the GOP watchers.

Obama sending his thugs as usual.

That one was pretty key in at least changing the narrative a bit. Also when people on the right started attacking Silver pretty hard.

But who watches the watchmen who watch the watchers?
The Obama Ground Machine needs to stay operational such that it treats the midterms like presidential election years.
Its just a strange post... i mean, McCain dumped EVERYTHING he had into PA.

I'm definitely going to be more active in my community in 2014. I have plenty of friends who think midterm elections don't matter, even after 2010. I will kick their asses if they don't go vote.
I guess we know who watches the watchmen now.

good god, these polls are amazing.
conservatives are flailing, already coming up with excuses. rombot, all out of arguments, is using the extremely unpopular republican house as the reason he should be elected. polls show movement to obama in every single swing state a few days before the election.
the firewall is safe, but bams is also winning CO/VA/FL. everything is falling into place; looks like a very comfortable victory for bams.

I agree. Sometimes in PoliGaf we act like the left isn't some of the problem when we are.
This is all on the topic of Fox News' "top story" right now:
I'm not in favor of electronic voting machines at all, but this is incredibly painful stuff to read.
Fox News headline? "A Romney Vote Goes to Obama?" But of course.
Don't worry, we're just getting started.
How is this complaint different from "I wonder how many voters just fill in a box without reading the ballot?" or, to the tune of EIGHT YEARS OF OUR LIVES, "I wonder how many voters didn't double-check that they punched the right hole on their Butterfly Ballot?"
Inattentiveness is an issue that has nothing to do with the method of voting whatsoever.
I'm really getting exhausted here, so I'm not going to be as civil as I ordinarily might, but regardless- they're not probably old people, they are definitely idiots.These are probably the old people who don't understand how to use a touchscreen

Im in Chesterfield now. Business as usual except for a few downed lines up near the MD border. Seriously the worst damage left is downed wireless towers.

I don't even mean so much anything Nate said, but just as a biproduct of the dialogue about Nate and whether his methods were any good (since his line at the time was explaining Romentum was dead).

Haven't had much time to post/read forums the past week due to a busy schedule, but the mood here in PoliGaf is the complete polar opposite than it was just 7-8 days ago. Last week some of you guys were one bad poll away from taking a bath with your favorite toaster.
Looks like Sandy was Obama's October surprise. It allowed Obama to act presidential and to show government being effective/necessary. Romney basically got pushed off the headlines for almost a full week. Combined with the stronger performance in the last two debates by Obama, I think it's caused some people to come home and stick with the guy they know.
And it doesn't hurt that Chris Christie is giving Obama his first true bipartisan victory in four years just a week before the election. Chris Christie is demonstrating to the public that GOP hardliners were responsible for the partisan gridlock, not Obama.
