True.I think thats why the media and dems are making it seem close although non rigged polls consistently show Obama winning Everything shows Obama winning,presidential history,betting markets,non rigged national polls,non rigged swing state polls,Obama has raised more money etc.If the dems didn't make it seem close dems might not get out to vote or give money
Exactly. That's why I loved James Carvilles piece on why we might lose. Rachael Maddow might as well have her feet up on her desk right now. I am worried about smugness. Really, really worried.
Rigged? Which polls are rigged? I keep reading other posts saying the polls skew towards dems by oversampling democrat voters. Are you talking about polls rigged towards republicans? Can you point to one?
Rasumessun and Gallup,they call it "weighing" http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytime...rate-quinnipiac-surveyusa-performed-strongly/ Rasmussen also weights their surveys based on preordained assumptions about the party identification of voters in each state, a relatively unusual practice that many polling firms consider dubious since party identification (unlike characteristics like age and gender) is often quite fluid.
If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you're not a racist. You'll need to vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you're not an idiot.
