I heard some complaints that in many battleground state polls, democrats are overrepresented in the polling sample. Therefore, Obama's lead in those states may be overstated, and maybe even non-existent. That is a legitimate concern.

So I looked at Rasmussen, the most Republican-friendly pollster out there.

He is almost the same as Real Clear Politics, except he goes ahead and concedes Nevada and New Hampshire to Obama, which seems pretty obvious given the poll numbers. He also shows Wisconsin as a toss up. He lists North Carolina a Romney lean, which is probably also accurate.

With those adjustments, Rasmussen has Obama with 247 electoral votes to Romney's 206. There are 85 EV's up for grabs. Obama needs 23 of them, and Romney needs 64 of them, to win.

I've been saying for months that it's already over. Can we finally talk about something else? Like the price of lettuce or why Wiz finally came out of the closet?

[Jungle Rat]

Here's something to debate. Or will you just bitch about the source like you usually do?

I saw where the Occupiers blew up a bridge in Ohio and scores were kilt and injured and the bridge was the only means to a hospital so hundreds died because they had to go to KY for medical care. It was in the Washington Times.

The obamabots and dims is the real pack of killers.

The Obama campaign and their surrogates have been accusing Romney of being a felonious money launderer and tax cheat. Now they are accusing him of killing a lady with cancer.

His response? Saying the lady wouldn't have died if she had lived in Massachusetts under Romneycare, and something he likes to call "Obama-loney."

Did somebody around here say Romney was an "ass kicker"? LMAO. Chicago is bringing guns to the gunfight while Boston is bringing a Book of Mormon and a bicycle.

[bluetick]

One person noticably mum about Romney's tax returns is John McCain.

Maybe it's because McCain got to see a dozen years of Mitt's returns when they were vetting him for V.P. back in 2008. Whatever was in them may have made an impression - a few days later McCain announced his choice of Palin.

Papa John CEO Claims Obamacare Will Drive Up Pizza Prices

The pizza place's Facebook page was soon littered with outraged pizza lovers proclaiming they would be "happy" to pay an extra 11 to 14 cents so Papa John's employees could have health insurance. "I'll lose more than that in a week under my sofa cushion," one said. "I'll gladly pay 20 cents for a child to go to a doctor when they've got a cold, rather than have them show up a the ER."

"I don't think Romney is doomed yet. Europe could collapse at any moment, and drag us into another recession. That could change everything."

Great news!
