So apparently the new repuke meme is

"This race is gonna be soooo close that they don't expect to find out the election results until Wednesday afternoon "

WTF? Um, no, we will know when the Ohio results come in or thereabouts .

Oh, and yeah, "Pennsylvania has flipped and Romney has won it"

Of course , all this from a co worker who I later saw reading Drudge!

The poll numbers in Ohio are stronger for Obama now than they were in 2008, and Obama won Ohio handily in 2008.

Trust me when I say that Tuesday night will be much like Election Night 2008, in that Ohio will be called for Obama around 9:00 or so, and then it will just be a matter of waiting until 11:00 for the West Coast States to close their polls before those States push Obama over the top again.

I'm calling my shot right now. The electoral map looks exactly the same as 2008, except Rmoney flips Indiana and MAYBE North Carolina. Obama wins Virginia, Colorado, and Florida in tight contests, and all the other swing States he carries easily.

Recounts won't even enter into the picture, because the margin of victory will be so large.

Unfortunately, in my part of PA, the baggers dominate.

I have a mind of making and passing out flyers accusing Robme of seeking to make Mormonism the only religion allowed; force their 12-year-old daughters and/or granddaughters to marry old Mormon farts; and to throw little girls in jail if they're raped and won't marry their rapists.

But I've seen their dirty tricks, put two and two together, and came up with the idea of taking a page out of their book.

Oswald hit 45 houses after work today. Gving at least 20 hours of canvassing over the next three days for the good guys. Pitch in everyone and crush these rotten bastards.

Some teabag blog posted the results from that 3 week old poll yesterday and they all claim it's brand new.

He expects lawsuits and charges of voter fraud from the 1-percenters.

Valerie Jarrett will exact muslimic revenge on all right-wingers after Obama wins

It's been cross-posted, verbatim, across hundreds of small, right-wing blogs.

I am truly surprised at the scope of the manipulation.
It's a purposeful strategy.
I can't help wondering if Romney is directly involved, he's been a such a liar so far.

were undecided until the governor was it said that he promised the state would go for Romney. That was it. They were pissed off and are solid Obama supporters now.

One day these folks will learn about backlash. Until then, well it'll be a nice Tuesday night as we watch the returns come in.
