Why are they talking like mittens is drowning the president?

[madashelltoo]

They are talking about how badly he's losing Florida and mittens transition team plans. I know this guy is from politico, but fuck.

1. You have answered your own question it is politigarbage. They have slanted to the right since their

Inception

If I go to faux,news I will hear the same narrative

However, if I look at Nate silver and other pollsters we are doing just fine

In fact after it became refreshed yesterday the republican war against women is now clear in everyone's mind

These clowns will have egg all over their face

Just get out the vote

2. I watched Andrea Mitchell's show today

and she had on Brian Williams who said Obama's crowds are small compared to Romney and especially compared to 2008. The theme of the show is that Obama is probably going to lose because the economy is doing so bad, even worse than it was in 2009. It got so bad I had tyo change to FOX News to get some relief

The media is failing us so badly in this campaign. I just hope it does not costs president Obama the white house and the world of sane leadership.

The other thing is when Romney flip flops, it's not a flip flop like it was for John Kerry. When Romney flip flops the media, including some shows on MSNBC call it a "pivot" or "moving to the center" or a "strategic move." Fuck the media!

4. Huh? Small crowds for Obama?

Every single rally for Obama shows enormous crowds, and usually they don't even show the crowds for Romney, which suggests to me that they are not all that large.

This is a lot like the amazing undercounts of the anti-war crowds back in 2002.

5. Aren't there a couple of polls with Obama ahead in Florida?

I'm confused by this idea he is definitely losing.

7. Those polls don't count, silly

The only polls that get hyped by the media are ones showing Romney ahead.

6. Let them spew their bullshit.

Democrats will only be motivated to turn out in bigger numbers, and Republicans will stay home because they will think they have the election sewn up. They are playing with a double edged sword here.

8. At some point they're going to have to change their reporting

Otherwise Election Day will prove them to be fools and liars. And they're not gonna like that.
