Especially when a troll posts.... "Well you know Rasmussen is one of the most accurate posters in 2008 and 2012."

I hope everyone here fully understands the game they play now.

It's an addition of the different polls & states that Rasmussen has put out that Daily Kos has compiled to show that Rasmussen's state polls when added together actually show an Obama win.

Still interesting none the less.
