Was listening to Boston right-wing radio on the way into work today

[wicket]

WRKO - the Jeff Kuhner show. He was saying the polls are all wrong and Romney will win in a Reagan-esque landslide. He also said that Bill Clinton is telling everyone close to him that he's voting for Romney.



I really needed that laugh! I know we still need to get out the vote, but the level of delusion of the far right is astounding!

1. Boston radio sucks, in general.

Even WBZ, which used to be a pretty good news/information source, is in the tank for Romney.

[wicket]

2. I really don't get it

He was a terrible governor and left with an approval rating in the low 30s.

15. It's like that everywhere...

The only people who still depend on AM radio are those who need Depends...

3. Someone should have called in & said Christie is voting for President O....

[sharkman25]

4. Unfortunately, the polls

that I keep seeing - well, at least most of them on the networks - have Rmoney in the lead.

[michello]

6. And what polls are those? Do tell..

[sharkman25]

7. I did tell...?

[michello]

8. No actually you didn't..

[sharkman25]

10. Yes I did. I said on "most of the networks" ...READ!!!

[michello]

11. Lol! Just throwing something out there are we?

[sharkman25]

16. Here...

[michello]

18. Yeah that was real clever..

Wanna show me some battleground state polls that shows Mitt in the lead?

12. Welcome to DU. Enjoy your stay. Maybe you'll learn some facts while you're here.

[sharkman25]

17. Your "Welcome" was more like the "I'll pray for you" type of response...real genuine, friend! n/t

[pscot]

19. We're being trolled pretty heavily

and people are wary. To put the polls in perspective check out http://election.princeton.edu/ or one of the other meta-analysis sites.

[uppityperson]

23. You are a really nice DUer, thank you for explaining to them and giving them that link

[bongbong]

20. LOL

Be sure to join us on Nov 7 as we're celebrating the landslide victory of President Obama!

Actually make that "early in the evening of Nov 6".

[wicket]

24. LOL!

9. It's not a popularity contest

All that matters is the electoral college.

What polls are you referring to?

[Jennicut]

14. Tracking/national polls or state polls?

Tracking/national polls measure the popular vote and that is very close. Take the average of the all the tracking/national polls and you get less then a point for Romney on Real Clear Politics. Pollster at Huffington Post and Poll Tracker at Talking Point Memo has it even closer. Anything below 1 point is really hard to gauge as far as to how the popular vote will go.

State polls track the electoral vote and Obama has small but consistent leads in most battleground states. Only NC and FL don't show him with leads.

5. Delusional fools

There really is some kind of mental illness going around the GOP.
If they weren't so hateful, I might even feel sorry for them.

[adigal]

22. I saw a site they linked to, claiming Romney winning Electoral College

It had them tied, and a great deal of votes as a toss-up. Some of the toss-ups were Michigan, Minnesota, places where Obama had a big lead.

They look for stuff that makes them feel right. Hopefully, we don't do that.

[sadbear]

13. That's quite a bubble they built there.

Rick Warren (and Maxwell Smart) had their Cone of Silence.

RWNJ's have their Bubble of Delusion.

[bongbong]

21. The MSM has to drum up repig anger

So repig pundits (AKA liars) can sell plenty of books after the election to their hyper-angry sheep.
