CBS - Bob Schieffer - "we've never seen the swing states so close".

"neither has a lead"

"the race is tied"

"all polls within the margin of error"

Shameless........so transparent. This is just a reality show to these idiots - one in which they think does not impact them.

If a baseball team has 6 more runs than the other team at the end of the 9th inning, they call it a day.

Was referring to OH (Obama has a lead there between 2-4 points depending on the poll) and states like CO & VA where it's extremely close.

is that they don't realize margin of error only applies to a single poll. When every single poll shows one candidate ahead, you can't take a margin of error from one poll and say all polls are within the margin of error. It's fucking bullshit.

8. The media has done its job, the rest is up to the SOS' in the swing states.

Since the media has tied this thing up, all the Secretaries of State have to do is finish the job they were hired to do... STEAL IT!

And since the M$M have told the world that the race is tied, no one will question the results.

Romney is cocky claiming he will win, not because he is postering, but because he has paid off the SOS in key states.

Mark my words, this is what they are going to do!

All we can hope is that unlike Gore and Kerry, President Obama doesn't just shrug his shoulders and give up if they are able to steal or suppress enough votes to make a difference.
