Chuck Todd is just bending over backwards to convice the MARIST guy

[powergirl]

that this is "neck and neck." He is whining about Obama's 6 point lead in IOWA - and if he doesn't like the poll, he looks at the "other numbers", such as approval ratings and ability to handle the economy. Spent a lot of time on New Hampshire - didn't bother to mention that Obama doesn't need New Hampshire. I need to watch Stephanie Miller now.

1. They polled three deer hunters in NH and they all liked Romney.

SEE!? SEE!? Romney is surging!

[yellowcanine]

4. Any real deer hunter would not be talking to a pollster during deer season.

Just saying. There are lots of people who dress up in blaze orange and carry rifles and ride around in their pickup trucks during deer season who aren't actually hunters.

7. That's part of the problem!

Seven pollsters went out, only two came back with results!

2. I am convinced Chuck Todd supports Romney

His blatant pro Romney stands are disgusting!!

3. It's A Shame That Dope Went To The U

But the U isn't really known for its Poli Sci dept.

5. did he just say Romney will win by 300+ EV's...

or Obama will just barely reach 270??? Or am I hearing things??

6. I thought his point was either Romney will sweep big or lose big.

9. I just don't get that mentality

that has been the right wing talking point the last two weeks or so, when it started to become clear that Romney's surge fells short, and the President was starting to uptick a hair. Why does the right wing need to have their poor little ego's babied with this Romney will win BIG or BO will barely win thing?

All election long, BO has had a small lead at least, and at one point a clear lead.

In REALITY, this lends to the idea that Romney will inch out a win, BO will win, or if there is a big win, it will be by the President.

But, a supposedly honest broker like Todd has to codify the weak egos of republicans.

10. no, sweep big or lose barely... what on earth polling would suggest he will win big?

[Jennicut]

11. I am thinking a small Obama win or small Romney win.

Mostly pointing toward Obama. With NV, WI, IA, OH, and NH Obama would have 281 to 257 for Romney. Not a huge electoral win but enough. VA could be in play. That would be 294 to 244. Still not breaking the 300's. I would love to get NC and FL and CO but they are not necessary.
With Romney, if Obama lost NV and IA but kept OH then Romney would win 273 to 265. But IA looks very good for Obama and NV looks solid too.

What is Chuckie smoking???

12. MSNBC is corporate propaganda

Once owned by GE, it is now owned by Comcast. Only watch MSNBC if you think your personal interest align with the corporate interests of GE and Comcast.
