Too close to call?

Am I the only one who thinks it is suspicious how this election is too close to call, according to the corporate media? I mean Obama should be at least at 60%, maybe even 70%. We have 6 huge media conglomerates dictating 90% all the media us sheep digest. Why is a close election, nearly tied, advantageous to the establishment? They want Mitt to steal the election, either by republican voting machines, or voter suppression. A close election makes that harder to detect and easier to steal.

I do wonder if this line is equally pushed by both parties to GOTV and avoid complacency. gordianot Nov 2012 #5

It could also be why both parties appear to dislike Meta Analysis who offer to the public the odds. The anachronistic MSM stands to make money with a close election as long as they can keep the sheep awake. There appears to be an uncertainty factor in my case I will vote Tuesday even though the odds are long. How many are lazy enough to not want to waste their time voting is a factor I seldom see discussed. Who likes to watch a horse race when the outcome is certain?
