Or tied.

Who cares? It's close there. We have to work for it.

5. And?
Seems about right to me.

The media gets into an orgasm anytime they can report this as a nail-biting, down to the wire, suspensful race.

Landslides aren't good for ratings.

24. Which poll said he was up 15 in Ohio?
I have never seen a poll that said that. Are you perhaps thinking of the SUSA polls the other day that showed him up 5 in Ohio and 15 in Pennsylvania?

10. Stay Strong! Obama is going to win ... don't be disheartened by potential BUNK.
;) The polls are always suspect no matter who's in the lead. They do not have "a firm" grasp on the formulation of the questions and there's corruption everywhere in their methodology.

DAMN THEIR POLLS!

Yes. We. Can.

20. .. and Assclown Dobbs said the SCOTUS decision
"... practically handed the state of Ohio to Obama in next month's election ..."


WTF?? How 'bout the SCOTUS actually ensured that the GOP can't cheat in Ohio in next month's election???


:mad:

21. I'll take 2 points
I don't give a crap what CNN says - I'd never know anything about CNN if people didn't constantly post the bad things they say (then if I do turn it on for a debate or something, it seems pretty fair to me :shrug: )
