They have to drum up interest, even if they go on and on about what a great job the loser is doing. Sucks they bring this ratings/excitement mentality to politics.

Which makes sense.

Can't disagree with them doing that. It's a big story.

Obama messed up big time and we have to realize that and take nothing for granted again.

Let's get to work making sure the next 4 weeks are good ones!

and too restrictive of youth voters, who while not appearing enthusiastic will vote at least at 2006/2008 levels.

Stick in the RV model, and you get a 10 point lead. Why are all the polls suddenly deciding that no Democrats are going to show up?

94% of Dems have their minds made up. 5% might change their minds

I don't know how he can be leading in Ohio and trailing the popular vote nationally. Hopefully the head to head numbers rebound across the board when we start getting polls that don't include Oct 5-6.

Brian Williams led with the Ohio poll tonight. No mention of the national polls at all.
