Freepers think they're taking the Senate.

Great googly moogly. You will love this read. To say it is optimistic is a bit of an understatement.

I know it is against rules to link to RWNJ sites, but I dont know if that applies when it is to laugh at them. If this is not appropriate just say the word and I'll gladly self-delete.

They are obsessed with that one man, the President to a point where you think they wish he could be a dictator. If they're abandoning their precious Presidency to hope for the Senate, that's a true sign they've given up on it!

If you read it, Romney will win by "322-216" electoral votes. That was one of the unintentionally funny things I took away from that piece.

"322-216" that I found funny. Either it's a typo or they reversed the order. If I say I'm going to win by 3 to 5 votes, I would say "3-5," not "5-3." I don't know. Maybe it's the engineer in me that thinks it's funny, and it's not to others.

I'm not an engineer or any type of science major.

Connecticut as a surprise win. That is hilarious.

"there is 100% chance Nate Silver's career falls into ruin." Those are good odds for freepers! Surprised it wasn't 105%.

Might as well be an alternate dimension. Everything they hear is "the world according to the GOP". When it butts heads with reality, as it will on Tuesday, they go apeshit.

Even thier unskewer guy has made a final declaration of 52 Dem Senate seats.

So now their basic argument is their unskew guy is skewed towards the Democrats!

It's from a site called Hillbuzz and although nothing could make freeperland look sane, let's just say that Hillbuzz is so fucking crazy they make freeperland look a bit less batshit insane- just a bit.

There's not enough anger or veiled racist remarks.

It is, however, a lot of wishful thinking.
