...that have been discredited in a couple of recent threads.

Who is responsible for getting her the most recent numbers? Or did they tape her show earlier today before the corrected Gallup numbers came out?

The U of Denver poll was more recent and shows an Obama +4 lead. However, her whole opening segment was about how Romney has turned the game around, so I guess she just went with what fit. Either way, Gravis' poll results have no business being cited in any legitimate media source.

Anyone who has a research staff ought to know about Gravis!!

This is like the 2000 election, when we netizens were so far ahead of the journos, and could never get the truth to the MSM.

a horse race is a very good place to be at this juncture. Obama has this with both eyes tied behind his back... stop the hand-wringing and make sure that we all vote.

Ultimately, they're all paid by corporate ownership - they'll all toe the "fair and balanced" line.

She has carried water for Republicans, whether intentionally or unintentionally (and if she's so smart, it's intentional). Like all pundits, she needs the horse race.

People need to turn her and Tweety off as much as they need to turn Rush Lowbrow off. I would not care if the pundits never made another cent.

encourage them to get out and vote. Dems were so far ahead in the polls...many people might not bother to stand in line long hours to vote. These polls should wake everyone up. Frankly I was shocked! I just hope as others say...it's not as bad as the polls show. But a lot of people got to see a very savoy Romney...not the one who went to Canada and China!

Thanks Rachel for exposing many of his lies.

She was forever worrying and worrying about every little thing. Sure we were going to lose. Then, when we won, she helped start the "liberals are disappointed" meme. If you fans of her think she's on our side, you're falling for a clever act. None of those pundits are liberal except when it will increase ratings. They are doing all they can to help Mitt now, because they need a horse race.

Quit thinking that anyone in the M$M is a true liberal if they don't carry water for the liberals the way Rush carries water for the right. The right's pundits are never disappointed or unsure of a win.
