Does anyone here know what the NC polls are that romney

[movonne]

is so confident that he pulls out of the state??? Or do they know the fix is in place to win..

1. The SOS is a democrat

They probably have internal numbers showing them ahead. As I said in another thread. It is highly unlikely that Romney loses North Carolina and wins Ohio on the same night.

2. It's trending more for Romney...

They feel confident that these trends are solidifying.

Ras has Romney up 6 pts.

3. I was wondering about that. I thought maybe it meant either they've got it in the bag

(or THINK they do) or they're giving up. North Carolina? Doubt they're giving up. But... if maybe they leave nobody watching the store, somebody could move in...

4. According to FiveThirtyEight, Romney hasn't been leading by much in NC...

PPP 10/14 47.0 49.0 Romney +2.0
YouGov 10/11 48.0 49.0 Romney +1.0
High Point University 10/10 43.0 49.0 Romney +6.0
Rasmussen 10/9 48.0 51.0 Romney +3.0
Gravis Marketing 10/8 41.2 49.9 Romney +8.7

5. They could believe that NC is close but that they just cannot afford to lose OH

They can add just like us. They can see that winning NC makes no difference at all if they lose OH.

They almost certainly feel that even if they are almost hopelessly behind in OH, they have to win OH to win. Therefore, they leave NC where they feel they may win even if they are not there, to go to OH where they believe they have to be there in order to win.

6. They are getting desperate

They are gambling on being able to hold onto NC without using any more resources.

7. They probably bought all the commercial time available.
