ABC WNN this morning: "Neck and neck and locked in an EPIC battle..."

Geeesh. So now Romney is ahead by a point (so they say) and they are implying a link between the downturn in the stock market yesterday to the election. I don't even know what that means so if someone will enlighten us all with explaining the Grand Casino's problems, it would be appreicated.

All I know is that I want this election to be over with at this point.

Mainstream Media 'News' Outlets - the ultimate make-work project: (1) Create the horse-race. (2) 'Report' on its neck-and-neck status. (3) Ignore the fact that you created the horse-race to begin with.
