1. 6 months out - they gotta sell diet plans and reverse mortgages.

[Solomon]

2. Yep. Its Tweety and media doing what we knew they

were gonna do, hyping it into a race. Ratings and money are awesome if its a close battle.

The propaganda will be off the chart this election.

3. With these pollls

I guess women aren't voting. How does Rmoney get rid of that huge gap and the Latino vote. Oh and the Teabaggers that won't vote for him. And isn't Newt still in this? If the voting fraud sticks, they are going to need another choice. I wouldn't be surprised if Palin already has her hand in that one. It's not going to be an easy walk for Rmoney to get the nomination. Still to come IMO the rise of Repuke women. Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin. If there is just one chance of Rmoney being disqualified, she is going to pounce on this so fucking fast. You Betcha!

4. It's interesting

Polls showing Obama ahead get little play while polls that show them tied or Romney leading slightly get hyped like there's no tomorrow.

The media wants ratings. They don't want a blow out. It would be bad for business.

5. Got to keep it close or lots of 24/7 pundits lose their jobs.

And those are the only jobs the pundits care about.

6. they're either lying about romney's unpopularity or they're lying about the numbers

[JoePhilly]

9. A recent poll had Obama up 9% ... and that scared the crap out of them.

He only beat McCain by 6%.

If Obama has a consistent lead of 7+%, the 24 hour news cycle stops being interesting.

So they need a few polls to pull it all back in to maintain the "battle" aspect.

Obama should win by 20%. But that's boring.

15. well they might have to cover the things congress is doing

Like making sure rich people don't pay fair tax rates, and making sure we try to pass the Ryan tax plan. Instead let's all pretend people only care about a presidential election that is 6+ months away.

[tallahasseedem]

8. Yep...

it is so obvious that it's actually sad. Even some of my Republican buddies acknowledge this.

[russspeakeasy]

7. What a crock...

[Zax2me]

10. Yea yea.

Where will this poll be when Obama wins 55-45

[Cattledog]

11. This race is closer than you think...

If you don't think Obama's in trouble you're deluding yourself. The 2008 mojo is gone. If he wins by 2 million I'd be surprised...this just might be another 2000.

CD

12. in your dreams.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

16. Didn't you say 2010 wasn't going to be that bad?(n/m)

[former9thward]

13. You are right.

Everybody was saying all the polls were wrong in 2010 and that Democrats would gain seats. Polls are right more often than not particularly when you average them. But some love to live life in denial.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

14. You underestimate the stupidity of America

In addition to the 30 to 35 percent of total asshole Rethugs, there are 10 - 15% of people who are easily led into thinking "Obama has been a failure".

[jus-theFACTS]

17. anyone who thought this would be a landslide is on crack.

Remember... 45% of the nation is fucking batshit crazy. 45% are normal and 10% are on the fence...
