You know people like this person who seems to question posts like mine really pisses me off. Look at my thread last night where I praised Obama and where I talk about how great I think the next 4 years will be and then try to play this crap you are accusing me of. Your accusation of me being a damn freeper troll really pisses me off.

Jesus christ all I was doing was posting what I heard on MSNBC and you decide to interpret my post as being anti Obama. I was sure Obama was ahead in PA and then they say he is tied up. Forgive me for being curious as to what the real poll numbers say.

Sight one right wing poll that say things are close and disregard others saying its not. Its all about ratings. Tuesday night can't come fast enough.

He helped to get Clinton impeached. He's probably part of the reason why this "PA is in play" bullshit has started up.

Early voters are unlikely to answer yes to the question of whether they plan to vote on Tuesday. Unless the questioner digs deeper, early voters won't get counted. That the race is tied, if it truly is, signals bad news for Romney, he needs to create more of a margin over the President to erase the early vote advantage the President has in the bank.

Nate Silver has PA with a 97.3% chance of going to Obama as it will. Since we don't have "early voting" here in PA (outside of absentee ballots) then the lunatic fringe M$M want to latch on that to suggest a toss up yet again. They have been doing this every damn election season since 1988 and every Presidential season, they end up with egg on their faces.

I can't wait until this damn election is over.

it's true. Things have tightened a bit in PA according to this latest poll. Don't know how reliable it is .. out of Muhlenberg College, apparently?

84
61

When all other polls showed at least an 8 pt lead for the President in PA. It is an extreme outlier released to turn some heads but reality has a way of making things right.

Some of the damn holier than thou people here make me wonder why I even bother staying here and trying to join in any discussions. I have been a lurker here for years since Obama starting running. Recently I decided to sign up and join in some of the discussions. I am a registered democrat, voted both terms for Clinton, Gore, Kerry and Obama. I post a goddamn poll and wondered how they hell it was so tight when I knew I heard Obama was way up in PA and I get labeled a troll freeper. Not outright but your accusations are obvious and insulting.

Like I said look at my posts, especially lasts nights when I praised Obamas speech and how optimistic I am about the net 4 years and then come back and try to accuse me of being a god damn freeper.

I think Nate Silver has PA as secure Obama with a 97% chance of winning or something like that. PA is Dem country! The media is just desperate to keep up their close race story. They still have a lot of hours to fill before the election is called for Obama Tuesday night!

Don't start a post that just repeat stupid things heard on TeeVee, it is a classic troll move, whether you are one or not it, is textbook as are your protestations to the contrary... If you are sincere keep posting and get over it my friend... If you aren't a troll see you in February with the rest of us!!!

The democrats in Philly have one of the best ground games around if Obama is polling at 3% over Romney he would have to rely on Philly not getting out the vote.
