I can't comprehend 0bama leaving the White house without a Mount Carmel moment forcing him out.

[CaptainK]

When a poll doesn’t provide a link to view the internals, I skip right over it.

If Obama leaves, the White House' contents will be ripped off like never seen before. Linclon's bed will be reduced to bed spings. Valuable portraits will be stolen and sold on the black market (racist pun not intended).

More likely, 0bama will declare Martial Law and cancel the election via executive order. He's already set precedence for unlawfully using executive orders. If he can wage war on Libya without approval from Congress or unilaterally overturn federal immigration laws, he can do anything. He's a 'one man' show. I think that's called 'Dictator'.

Your post also shows the Gallup daily tracking poll with Obama up by 5%. Rasmussen has Romney up by 2%. So there is a lot of variability lately. However, I don’t buy that Romney is up 8% in swing states.

Interesting that Gallup has Obama at 46/47 approve-disapprove but polling at 48%.

[Williams]

It is an understatement to say these polls and comments in the article about the polls, make no sense.

Obama leads but is behind in “swing states” by 15 points??

[nhwingut]

CNN swing states: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Arizona, Indiana, and Missouri are not normally polled as swing states (solid red). This may up Romney’s numbers.

However, polling PA, and NM do inflate Obama’s numbers too - as Romney has no chance.

The only states that really matter are FL, VA, and OH.

[Theodore R.]

Rupert Murdoch just demanded that Romney fire his current team and hire a new, aggressive one if he wants to win. Sitting on an imaginary lead fails.

[Leep]

Team Obama is not beyond pulling Reichstag including a stirring speech afterwards.

[Theodore R.]

Sure, many Obama voters really may not want to vote for him, but he is their party nominee to be.

[Theodore R.]

You may not understand the depth of support Obama has even if it is under 48 percent. Many truly believe in such nonsense.

[Leep]

Otherwise,obama the underdog?
Next poll obama will advance 4-6%.
In reality he will have not moved at all.

Kind of the same trick they play with the unemployment numbers.

0bama will declare Martial Law and cancel the election via executive order.

And the media would defend it and accuse those who disagree of racism.

There is nothing, no act or scandal, that Obama could not get away with.

He could be caught with BOTH the proverbial dead girl and live boy, and still the media would cover it up for him.

[morphing libertarian]

and the supremes will uphold his action 5-4

[DAC21]

If the economy stays in the tank (likely) and Romney doesn’t implode (50/50 proposition, today his Advisor didn't help)

I see Bambi only winning 15 States.

Hawaii, California, Wash, Ore, NM, Vermont, Conn. NY, NJ, Maryland, MI, IL, Wi, ME, Del.

My criteria, any State Bambi won with 55% or less, he will lose in 2012.

[Red Steel]

I can't comprehend 0bama leaving the White house without a Mount Carmel moment forcing him out.

He can try and he won't like the outcome.

RE: The only states that really matter are FL, VA, and OH.

Romney MUST win all of these 3 otherwise he won’t win. Just saying.

[MplsSteve]

“I see Bambi only winning 15 States.

Don’t forget to toss Minnesota (10 EV’s) in there too.

We’re electorally stupid. We actually voted for Walter Mondale, Jesse Ventura AND Al Franken!

We got the “stuck on stupid” thing down pat.

The problem conservatives have is truth telling.Today on the FIVE Beckel made his usual fool of himself. He said Obamacare was not a tax and words don't mean anything. I love that liberal argument. Defendants in criminal cases can now argue I was charged with murder but isn't that the same as manslaughter somebody dies. The view whatever it takes always persists in the liberal mind. The conservative view process and principle matter. The liberal would say the CNN poll is right and who cares about eternals if Obama is up. Here we are questioning the poll. I like the side that would question the poll because it is not a do what it takes mentality because it feels good it is a crowd that says the most important thing is to get it right based on facts.
