Anyone who is fixating on polls right now should try banging their head against the nearest wall...

...it will be just as ineffective at telling you what will happen on Election Day, and will feel much better when you stop...

1. I wish i could just hand out samples of valium here

This would become such a happy place

[demgrrrll]

2. Yes it will be difficult around here for awhile if the polls go as I think they might.

3. Only 1 poll matters

the one taken on 11/6/12 with results of the poll coming out starting about 7 PM EST.

All other polls are meaningless.

4. I think the important thing is to look at the state polls, the national polls are meaningless

and don't provide accurate information. Yes, the polls are going to go up and down. I think everyone here is nervous to some extent about the election. It would be nice if we could get it over tomorrow.

8. Remember too

some states already started early voting BEFORE the debates as well.

[davidpdx]

9. Yeah, that's true

I'm so glad early voting was protected in most of the states.

5. Yeh Mike Papantonio predicted correctly the media would do this this weekend

saying Romney is catching up with Obama in the polls because they have been ordered by there bosses they want a horse race so they can get paid

[bemildred]

6. Yep. nt

7. I liked Lawrence O'Donnell's take on it

We don't know who really "won" the debate the other night and won't know until Election Day. The jury is still out. He suggested that we treat the campaign/debates as a "trial" and the election as the "verdict" instead of a sports match. Makes a lot of sense to me.
