Polls at this point in an election cycle always soul draining!

But I'll admit it, I'm always happy when one shows our guy ahead!

Romney winning 19% of African Americans? Fat chance.

but as frustrating as the ups and downs can be, at least it keeps the Dem voters aware of how important it is for us to get out and vote.

Best not to take anything for granted. We need every single vote especially in states where R's are working hard to steal.

Naturally they want it TO KEEP ON COMIN' - so, it needs to be "a tight race."
