One thing to watch for today - rising MSM panic. They could be watching ad dollars fleeing

as the eyeballs turn them off once this thing cannot be spun into a close horse race.

False equivalence warning! Hence a good day (week? month?) to just turn them off.

See, what these people have done is insinuate themselves into power through every underhanded deed possible over the last 30 years. And you think not listening to them will make them stop, or weaken them?

Good insight there NRaleighLiberal.

An Obama landslide is not in their interest and
they will do anything to make this a close race
to keep the ad revenue flowing.

There are only so many ad slots available and going into Christmas they will sell all of them.

All of the PAC money gets spent in the swing states and targets 12 counties out of the whole country.

Major corporations own MSM entities so that they can influence policy and public opinion, NOT to make money as there are far better ways to make money than selling ad time during a period when the value of ads drops to new lows weekly.

Romney is in denial (as always). Let him and his PACs spend every dime fighting reality.
