The MSM wants a horse race so badly! They have been Anti-Obama all day
MSNBC: The Mason Dixon poll message has been locked on their screen all damn day
CNN: Rev. Wright and the robocalls


Their love for a horserace resulted in a dent in our democracy. We will NOT let them do this.

1. Maybe I'm so cynical that I don't see this as bad.
I feel like with the voter apathy that has plagued elections throughout the recent years, if people believe that it is a closer race than it really is, the voter turn out will be good despite weather, long lines, etc. People can be lazy, as a former teacher, I've seen this all the time. If some students, not all mind you, has a 99 average they get lazy at the last couple assignments and feel they don't need those grades. Same with voters, if they believe their candidate has the election in the bag by a huge margin or is going to lose by a huge margin, those lazy voters will not show up to vote.
