down to being even in just a few days..I think what happens is AP reporters put a story out on the wires and all the right wing web sites and Cable networks and (Yahoo) pick up on it as if it were gospel..
I don't believe it...
Some of these AP reporters may at one time written for the Weekly Standard Magazine or some other right wing rag and that tells it all.They try and continue their rhetoric on AP news service. As for NBC website,well it seems they scrape and claw for some sort of negativity and then try and make it sound like front page headline news...No way this is accurate

(27,315 posts)There is a thing such as bad sampling, particularly when the sample is small (may be 400 women, and who knows if this poll is weighted or not)
Take a deep breath, and ignore polls.

(6,994 posts)trying to make a point that these right wing reporters and news organizations just dont give voters any credit for any smarts and expect us to believe this shit, especially after their candidate endorsed this Teabagger that believes women have no rights.Yes they expect us to believe that Rmoney closed a 16 point deficit over night..
The right wingers are happy knowing they have their conversation topic this morning.
They are desperate for something to keep their man propped up and they are failing to do so.

(14,040 posts)They're too off from what we're seeing on the ground. And after yesterday's debacle with Mourdock and RMoney "standing by his man" you can forget about the gap closing, it's going to widen further. The only women I know of that will definitely vote for RMoney are evangelicals and teabagger racists.

(22 posts)Show him up by 14 or 15 points with women in Ohio, Wisconsin and Iowa. And I really don't think the women of Virginia are going to forget about vaginal probes so quickly.
