The focus isn't on those states, especially MI and PA. Neither is competitive.

I only care about the real swing states, and I want individual breakdowns, not stupid composites. NH is worth a lot less than OH or FL. NV is quite different from IA. You get the point.

Oh well, then again it's all basically a snap poll at this point. The important thing is Obama won this.

No national poll has me included in it. I've not been phone or polled even once. I cast my ballot for the only poll that matters and you should too.

They would have said Romney won if he stripped naked and shat on the table.

Another moran who has no clue where Syria is--in the WH, the world would be giving us psych treatment. Or throw us in a cell with a straight jacket. I can't believe mittens said something about "Syria's only route to the sea" to .... what? Go swimming? More vacations for Syrians? What?

He obviously meant the Mediterranean Sea, not the Persian (Arabian) Gulf! And the closest sea south of Iran is tens of miles away!! The real route to the sea just happens to go overland through Iraq.

Neener-neener-neener.

Romney is a foreign affairs god and Obama is just someone who's been the leader of the free world for LESS THAN FOUR YEARS!!!

It hasen't been here in awhile. Hope our crack media is covering the Trump and Mittins meeting so we can see the Donald blow chunks on Mitty.

To actually appear with Trump at the same time The Donald is feverishly preparing his idiot infomercial for his reality show (new season announced tomorrow!).

Because Romney has never stuck me as Bush-level stupid, just mendacious and hollow.

Keeping in mind that the American voter (bless their little hearts) might actually elect the goniff, that makes me very, very nervous.

42% thought Romney won?

I'm begining to think the problem with the polls is bigger than we think.
