My oh my. It must be time for the pollsters to stop bullshitting us and to begin making accurate predictions. Fifteen swing state polls released and Romney isn't ahead in any of them. Five tracking polls released and Romney isn't ahead in any of them. Are all the late deciders going for the president despite Romney and the Super PACs bombarding us with their advertising?
I am sure it is just a coincidence that the polls are only beginning to discover that no one likes Mitt Romney on the last weekend of the campaign. His campaign should have collapsed a month ago, but it was kept on oxygen by unprincipled pollsters and a dying media desperate for eyeballs.
But now it's 'cover your ass' time. This crap is probably going to cost us control of the House of Representatives. I can only imagine how badly the Republicans would lose if they didn't have unlimited and unaccountable corporate cash to throw at us and they didn't have Fox News and hate radio to toxify half the country's neurons.
I am so goddamned sick of this shit.

(262 posts)A lot of congressman of the (r) persuasion have run for the Senate & many will lose. That means we will have congressional races with NO incumbent. Our district was redrawn so anyone living in CA41st vote for (D) MARK TAKANO for congress! His opponent is a jackass. We used to have Sonny Bono's widow until they redrew our district. She has since married Connie Mack's son who is currently running for the Senate in FL. He was in Congress for awhile and is losing handily to Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson. This is the same for many tea bagger congressmen who decided to run for senate. Toad can you hear me?
We may not take the house but it it's going to be close which bodes well for the future. Ya never know who might compromise when it's neck in neck.
TONIGHT THERE IS A TELETHON ON NBC & OTHER STATIONS TO HELP THOSE WHO LOST SO MUCH IN "SANDY". IT'S NOT ON THE TV GUIDES BUT IT AIRS 8 & 11 PM TONIGHT.
