one day Fucky was a political reporter and then he was an election numbers guru.

It was an amazing transformation....

and he plays it pretty well.

His job is to say the election is really close.

It's not him, it's the role. If he told the truth he would be immediately replaced by a different actor.

no big red nose either, but he's still a clown.

Period, no other result is acceptable.

it hurts my heart that so many seniors will vote against themselves in florida.

It doesn't look good for Mitt

Look, if we want someone better we have to make our feelings known by switching channels and letting MSNBC know why. I've been tuning into Current as soon as he comes on...and earlier if Scarborough is being too obnoxious.

The media really does want to keep the circus going...keep up the suspense and keep up the ratings..not to mention they want to avoid the appearance of bias even if it means agreeing with the righties and claiming the sun is blue and rises in the west..

Welcome to DU!

I put myself on a media blackout concerning any polling information. I would go further for a total news blackout but I'm to much of a news junkie to do that. It would probably save you a few grey hairs in the long run if you paid no mind to them. Last poll I saw was on bill maher last week from Nate Silver. I think it will be close in the popular but President Obama will take the electoral....wish there was a finger crossed smilee.

how many would just stay home and not bother to vote? That typically punishes the Dems. This is somewhat of a good thing in that respect.

Calling it would make them appear partisan, and there is still a possibility they might call it wrong. Not a probability but a possibility. And then there is the charge that if they call it it may affect the election by making some voters more determined to vote. They will not touch any of those with a ten foot pole, or as the case may be, a poll.

And the fat lady sings at 270 electoral votes, as we know.

Every word you wrote. And then some.
