Yeah right.

Obama's up
Romney's up
THEY ARE NECK AND NECK COMING INTO THE FINISH LINE.

Yeah right.

Who buys your polls if you say it's a blowout?
Who bothers to spend money on ads?

We already know every race from now until the collapse of the corporatocracy will be neck and neck down the finish line regardless of the truth.

I've already turned off the TeeVee. Rupert and his cabal of media scum can go fuck themselves. Yes, even if they decide to claim Obama is way ahead. He is, we all know that.

no matter what and GOTV. Just run your race and ignore the noise. Focus on getting folks the info they need to be able to vote. It seems a given now that the MSM is engaging in 'reality tv' where they take the stuff they have and craft it to fit their narrative.

Though I'm more of the opinion the pollsters are just pulling stats out of their belly buttons to keep sales going and then the MSM starts twisting it all up.

Either way, yep, just run the race.

I've been phone banking to mostly reddest of the red parts of Atlanta and those folks are NOT HAPPY.

Democracy is not a spectator sport. You can make a difference - but only up through election day. Call, canvas, post, attend rally, work.
