So Couric and Schieffer
are saying the gap is closing and is as close as 4% nationwide between Dem and GOP.

Is it time to worry??

1. No, it's time to recognize that the MSM is trying to suppress
the vote by having their anchors lie about polls, while the RNCC makes deceptive robo calls to confuse people about their polling places, piss them off at Democrats, and generally do illegal acts that they fully expect never to be investigated, much less punished.

2. Obviously they aren't paying attention to the Gallup poll which gives the
Dems a 20-pt lead (out today) or even FAUX which gives Dems a 13-point lead nationally.

4. I'd say Couric has more . . .
. . . to be worried about than us.

The Mighty GOP Wurlitzer is just spewing it's last gasp of fascism.

Conyers is about to pull the plug.

6. Remember how they tried to discourage people from going to
the polls late in 2002/04? Remember Fox news tried to report that certain races were already way ahead so there was no sense in voting. It was a deliberate ploy to keep people who had to vote late away from the polls by instilling the idea that it was too late to make a difference. Methinks they are trying a variation of this saying that the gap is narrowing so there isn't any reason to vote is there? What a bunch of tricksters.

7. Okay. Feeling better now.
Remember when you were little on Christmas Eve and you wanted to go to bed early so tomorrow would come? (I know that's a rather ethnocentric question, but you all know what I mean!) That's the way I feel tonight. I might hit the hay in an hour or two. Prison Break is getting boring.

8. That's what ABC news said too.
Some polls were like 51-47, etc, etc..

I have to admit, I did expect it to close a bit. It seems like that's the way it goes the closer it gets to election day.
